By David G. Firestone
Austin Cindric #2 Menards/Richmond Ford Mustang–Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Brad Keselowski #6 Fastenal Ford Mustang-The fade looks great, the honeycomb works well, and the car looks amazing. A
Ryan Blaney #12 Menarads/Libman Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same B grade.
Chase Briscoe #14 Mahindra Ag North America Ford Mustang-It’s got a good color scheme, but boy oh boy, is the design scheme way over done. There is too much going on here for it to be good. The two cancel each other out, and this gets a C.

Kyle Busch #18 Interstate Batteries Toyota Camry-Same scheme as last year, same F grade.

Kurt Busch #45 Monster Energy Toyota Camry-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.
Alex Bowman #48 Ally Financial Chevy Camaro-Changing the color and cleaning up the sides gives this car a much better look. A

Ladies and Gentlemen…THE 2021 PAINT SCHEMIES!
By David G. Firestone
Well, it’s that time again! We have the annual Paint Schemie Awards for the 2021 season. As per the usual, every year, I pick the best and worst paint schemes and award them the Paint Schemie. This was done using the Driver Suit Blog executive committee for paint scheme analysis and consists of me and Driver Suit Blog assistant, my cat Zoe, and uses the following standards:
*Color Scheme:How the colors look, and how they work with each other.
*Overall Design:How good the design itself looks, is there too much, or not enough.
*Primary Sponsor Logos: How the primary sponsor logos look on the car
*Originality: How original is the scheme.
All of the above can work for or against a scheme, and all will be taken into consideration.
Let’s get the bad Paint Scheme Awards out of the way…
