Paint Scheme Grades-August 8, 2026

By David G. Firestone

Ross Chastain #1 Busch Light #ForTheFarmers Chevy CamaroNew scheme for 2026, designs changed. F

No improvement whatsoever. F

Austin Dillon #3 Get Bioethanol Chevy Camaro-Not bad at all. A

Ty Dillon #10 Sea Best Seafood Chevy Camaro-Be it in a restaurant or on a car, added shrimp NEVER goes wrong. A

Ryan Blaney #12 Menard’s/Pennington Ford Mustang-Grass with the Menard’s template just looks really bad here. F

Josh Berry #21 Menards/Masterforce Tools Ford Mustang-Red works, traditional Menard’s template works, this just looks odd, especially when compared to last year. C

Zane Smith #38 Patriot Mobile Ford Mustang-Good color scheme with an alright design scheme gets a B.

Cody Ware #51 Costa Oil Chevy Camaro-Adding design after design took a great look, and cluttered it up. I can’t say is horrible, but it isn’t great. C

Ryan Preece #60 Kroger/Force Factor Ford Mustang-This car is too over designed, with the liquid motif being over done. F

I'm just a normal guy who collects race-worn driver suits, helmets, sheet metal, and other race-worn items. I will use this blog to help collectors, and race fans alike understand the various aspects of driver suits and helmets, and commentate on paint schemes.
