Paint Scheme Grades-May 30, 2026

By David G. Firestone

Ross Chastain #1 Busch Light Country Chevy Camaro-Not terrible, but a bit of a downgrade from the regular scheme. A-

Ryan Blaney #12 Advance Auto Parts Ford Mustang-Too over designed to be any good. F

AJ Allmendinger #16 Spire Academy powered by VensureHR Chevy Camaro-Good color scheme, and good design scheme will always. A

Chris Buescher #17 Castrol Ford Mustang-Same scheme as #6, same A grade.

Bubba Wallace #23 Hardee’s Throwback Toyota Camry-Unless something better comes along, this will win best throwback of the year, it’s that good! A

Austin Hill #33 BetMGM Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as #8, same A grade. (Note: Kyle Busch’s grades will be averaged at the end of the year, and Austin Hill will be graded as his own team.)

John Hunter Nemechek #42 Dollar Tree Patriotic Toyota Camry-It’s a good look, and a step up from last year. A

John Hunter Nemechek #42 Pye Barker Fire & Safety Chevy Camaro-Cleaning up the sides is a better look, however, the names over the logos and stripes gives the car a cluttered look. F

Erik Jones #43 Advent Health Patriotic Toyota Camry-The patriotic motif isn’t better, it isn’t worse, it’s still a B+

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. #47 NOS Energy Chevy Camaro-Too ugly and over designed to get anything but an F.

Ryan Preece #60 Kroger/Celsius Ford Mustang-I like the new look, the black looks good, and this is a solid scheme. A

Chad Finchum #66 Garrison Homes Ford Mustang-I think the stripes are a bit over designed, but it’s still a solid scheme. A-

Corey Heim #67 Chief’s Toyota Camry-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Michael McDowell #71 Garner Trucking Chevy Camaro-Not terrible, but a downgrade from last year. B

Shane van Gisbergen #97 Tootsies Orchid Lounge Chevy Camaro-This is the best that Tootsies Orchid Lounge has looked in years! A

Paint Scheme Grades-February 1, 2020

By David G. Firestone

Kurt Busch #1 Monster Energy Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Austin Dillon #3 Bass Pro Shops/Tracker Off Road Chevy Camaro-I like the Dale Earnhardt based design, and the car as a whole looks great. I can’t give this less than an A.

Ryan Newman #6 Castrol Ford Mustang-Another example of a scheme with nothing really wrong or right with it. It’s a mediocre scheme that earns a C.

Ryan Newman #6 Oscar Meyer Ford Mustang-I don’t like this. I get what they were trying to do, but I think it’s over designed. F

John Hunter Nemechek #36 Speedy Cash Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Darrell Wallace Jr. #43 Air Force Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Darrell Wallace Jr. #43 World Wide Technology Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same C grade.

Jimmie Johnson #48 Ally Financial Chevy Camaro-Even with the changes, this is still a great scheme. A

Chad Finchum #49 Garrison Homes/Toyota Knoxville Toyota Camry-If the curves on the rear was toned down I would give this a solid A. But I think the curves are over designed so this gets a B+

Christopher Bell #95 Procore Chevy Toyota Camry-Same scheme as last year, same F grade.
