By David G. Firestone

Kevin Harvick #4 Busch Beer #BuschToThemoon Ford Mustang-The space motif works well, and the color scheme works too, so this gets an A.

Tyler Reddick #8 iCashautos/I Am Second Chevy Camaro-The only thing I like here is the black, other than that, this is just a mess. D-

David Starr’s #13 T Top Mfg Toyota Camry-A smooth look with a great color scheme will always earn an A.

James Davison #15 Go FMX/America’s Best Value Inn Chevy Camaro-Recoloring the design isn’t an upgrade, or a downgrade. A-

Austin Cindric #33 Pirtek Ford Mustang-This is a horrible scheme, with the colors all over the place, and a bad design. F

Timmy Hill’s #66 Boathouse Bar & Grill Toyota Camry-If it was just the blue, I could give this a higher grade, but with the blue, this gets a B.

Daniel Suarez #99 Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge Chevy Camaro-Getting rid of either the blue or orchid motif would work better, but this isn’t bad, so I’ll give it a B+
