Ross Chastain #1 Worldwide Express Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same F grade.

Austin Dillon #3 Get Bioethanol Chevy Camaro-I like the removal of the white, it cleans the scheme up very well. A

Josh Berry #4 Overstock.com Ford Mustang-I like the look, the car has a nice design and color scheme. A

Brad Keselowski #6 Castrol 125 Years Forward Ford Mustang-The stripe is so ugly and over designed, that it took an A scheme down to a C scheme.

Kyle Busch #8 Mark III Employee Benefits Chevy CamaroNo change. A

Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Chase Elliott #9 UniFirst Throwback Chevy Camaro-I like the look, it’s grown on me, and this is a good throwback. A

Ryan Blaney #12 Menard’s/Jack Links Beef Jerky Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

AJ Allmendinger #13 LeafFilter Gutter Protection Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same B+ grade.

Kaz Grala #15 N29 Capital Partners Ford Mustang-This is a much better look, cleaner and smoother, this gets an A.

Shane van Gisbergen #16 WeatherTech Chevy Camaro-Take an A scheme and improving it will always result in an A. The straight stripes are better here!

Bubba Wallace #23 Mobil 1 Toyota Camry-Same scheme as last year, same F grade.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. #47 Palmolive Chevy Camaro-Getting rid of the white would elevate this scheme to a solid A. It’s still good, but it could be better. A-

Kamui Kobayashi #50 Mobil 1 50th Anniversary Toyota Camry-It’s amazing what a couple of color changes can do. Replacing white stripes with gold, and gray with black is so much better, it takes the F to an A.

Timmy Hill #66 Amptricity Ford Mustang-The color scheme and design scheme are bad enough, but the black on the logo really adds to it, as it stands out in all the wrong ways. F

Carson Hocevar #77 Gainbridge/Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation Chevy Camaro-A great color scheme, and a great design scheme give this scheme an A.

Jimmie Johnson #84 Advent Health Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as #43, same A grade.
