Paint Scheme Grades-August 8, 2020

By David G. Firestone

Quin Houff #00 Creek Enterprises Inc. Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same B grade.

Brad Keselowski #2 Snap On Ford Mustang-I think the designs here are pointless, the red needs to go. With the red designs gone, this gets an A, but with the red designs, this gets a B+

Austin Dillon #3 Dow Patriotic Chevy Camaro-I think the wave motif is a bit over designed. Red should also replace blue as the primary color. Other than that, this gets a B.

Austin Dillon #3 RigUp/Roland Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Austin Dillon #3 Freightliner Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same C grade.

Kevin Harvick #4 Busch Head for the Mountains Ford Mustang-I like the motif here. It looks great, and isn’t over done. This gets an A.

Kevin Harvick #4 Busch Light Patriotic Ford Mustang-I think this car is over designed. I especially hate the fireworks. The color is good, and the rear looks good, so I’ll give it a C.

Kevin Harvick #4 Busch Light Apple Ford Mustang-Red is a great color, and the apple orchard motif looks great. I can’t give this less than an A so I won’t.

Ryan Newman #6 Progressive Insurance Ford Mustang-This is a great look. The shades of blue look good, and I like the smooth design. A

Ryan Newman #6 Oscar Mayer Patriotic Ford Mustang-An amazing front half with an awful rear half earns a C grade.

Ryan Newman #6 Acronis Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same B grade.

Ryan Newman #6 Guaranteed Rate Ford Mustang-I don’t like this car, but I don’t hate it. I think it’s just a C grade car.

Reed Sorenson #7 Gorilla Glue Chevy Camaro-A smooth look, with a simple and smooth design will always earn an A.

Josh Bilicki #7 Insurance King Ford Mustang-Same scheme as #27, same B grade.

Reed Sorenson #7 Wilkerson Crane & Rental Chevy Camaro-A smooth look, with a simple and smooth design will always earn an A.

Tyler Reddick #8 Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen Chevy Camaro-An amazing bottom half with an awful top half earns a C grade.

Tyler Reddick #8 Cat Oil & Gas Chevy Camaro-This is far too over designed. Even with a great color scheme, this gets an F.

Tyler Reddick #8 Feeding America Chevy Camaro-The shades of yellow and green work well with each other, and the smooth design scheme works well too. A

Aric Almirola #10 Smithfield Patriotic Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same D grade.

Aric Almirola #10 Smithfield Hometown Original Ford Mustang-Another scheme that I don’t like, but at the same time I don’t hate. It’s just a meh scheme that gets a C

Aric Almirola #10 Go Bowling Ford Mustang-This is a great look! The new scheme is much smoother, and it looks amazing! A

Aric Almirola #10 Smithfield Vote For Bacon Ford Mustang-The color scheme is great, and the car has a great look. A

Denny Hamlin #11 National Civil Rights Museum Toyota Camry-It’s a great look, with a great color scheme, and that will always earn an A.

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

Ryan Blaney #12 Menard’s/Maytag Ford Mustang-The Menard’s template works well with red, and this scheme gets an A.

Clint Bowyer #14 CSU One Cure Ford Mustang-The new design is a downgrade from last year. This is a case where the scheme would get a higher grade if it had a different color scheme. Still, it’s not horrible, so it gets a B.

Clint Bowyer #14 Haas CNC Ford Mustang-This is over designed, the red stripes are far too over designed, and the white design is awful. This gets an F.

Chris Buescher #17 Sunny D Patriotic Ford Mustang-This might be one of the worst schemes of 2020. It’s horribly over designed, and the twisted flag motif is awful. F

Chris Buescher #17 Roush Performance Stage 3 Ford Mustang-This is a great look! The orange and black work well, and the car has a smooth look. A

Chris Buescher #17 Fifth-Third Bank Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same B- grade.

Kyle Busch #18 Skittles Patriotic Toyota Camry-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Kyle Busch #18 M&M’s Mini’s Toyota Camry-It’s a smooth look with a great color scheme, and that will always earn an A.

Martin Truex Jr. #19 Auto Owner’s Insurance Toyota Camry-The color scheme is great, and the car has a great look. A

Matt DiBenedetto #21 Menard’s/Red Kap Ford Mustang-A smooth look with a great color scheme will ALWAYS earn an A.

Matt DiBenedetto #21 Menards/Quaker State Ford Mustang-Green doesn’t work well with the Menard’s template. I give this a C.

JJ Yeley #27 Greenlight Debit Card Ford Mustang-The color scheme is great, and the car has a great look. A

Corey LaJoie #32 Trump 2020 Ford Mustang-Yet another scheme that I don’t like, but at the same time I don’t hate. It’s just a meh scheme that gets a C

Corey LaJoie #32 Plan B Sales Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same B+ grade.

Michael McDowell #34 CarParts.com Patriotic Ford Mustang-This is a horrible look. The blue and orange shades don’t work, and the car as a whole is over designed. I can’t give this anything but an F, so I won’t.

Michael McDowell #34 Chicago Pneumatic Compressors Ford Mustang-This is a bold look, with a great color scheme, and it looks amazing. A

Ryan Preece #37 Proctor & Gamble’s Take on Race Initiative Chevy Camaro-It’s a smooth look with a great color scheme, and that always earns an A.

Ryan Preece #37 Kleenex Chevy Camaro-A good color scheme and a smooth design scheme are all that’s needed to get an A grade.

Ryan Preece #37 Glad Chevy Camaro-The color scheme is bad, it clashes with the design scheme. The design scheme itself is awful, and I can’t give this anything but an F.

Ryan Preece #37 Kingsford Chevy Camaro-The wave motif works well here, and the car has a decent look, so it gets an A.

Ryan Preece #37 Louisiana Hot Sauce Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same B+ grade.

John H. Nemechek #38 Digital Ally Ford Mustang-I think the cube motif is over done a bit. The color scheme works well here, and the design is not too over designed, so it gets an A.

Cole Custer #41 Autodesk Fusion 360 Ford Mustang-Great color scheme plus horrible design scheme equals a C grade.

Darrell Wallace Jr. #43 World Wide Technology Chevy Camaro-The starburst motif isn’t over done, and the shade of blue works perfectly. All of this is getting an A grade.

Darrell Wallace Jr. #43 Cash App Chevy Camaro-A good color scheme and a smooth design scheme are all that’s needed to get an A grade.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. #47 Kroger Chevy Camaro-The American flag motif works well here, and the scheme is great to begin with, so this gets an A.

Joey Gase #51 Red Rock Secured Ford Mustang-This is a great look. The patriotic motif under the shade of red works well. This looks great and gets an A.

Joey Gase #51 Red Rock Secured Ford Mustang-A good color scheme and a smooth design scheme are all that’s needed to get an A grade.

Joey Gase #51 Adkins Automotive Ford Mustang-A good color scheme and a smooth design scheme are all that’s needed to get an A grade.

Joey Gase #51 Donate Life/Pro Master Ford Mustang-A good color scheme and a smooth design scheme are all that’s needed to get an A grade.

Joey Gase #51 Page Construction Ford Mustang-Without the green stripes, this would earn an A, but with the stripes, this earns a B.

JJ Yeley #53 Truckworx Chevy Camaro-Another example of a pointlessly over designed car. This is one of the worst I’ve seen in 2020, and that includes those disasters of All-Star Race cars. I can’t give this higher than an F.

Garrett Smithley #53 Rich Mar Florist Chevy Camaro-I hate the black and pink here. It just doesn’t work. This scheme would work with other colors. I will give this a C.

Josh Bilicki #53 Junction Fuels Chevy Camaro-My only complaint here is that the white stripe is too wide. A-

Garrett Smithley #53 Axele TMS Chevy Camaro-This scheme is much too over designed, and the color scheme isn’t great. I give this an F.

Garrett Smithley #53 Victory Lane Quick Oil Change/Kendall Oil Chevy Camaro-The design scheme and the color scheme are great. This scheme gets an A.

Ross Chastain #77 Melon Man Brand Chevy Camaro-This design scheme could get an A with a different color scheme, but with the pink, this gets a C.

Josh Bilicki #77 Austin Hatcher Foundation Chevy Camaro-The color scheme is great, and the car has a great look. A

Garrett Smithley #78 Baker Camp Arnold Capital Management Chevy Camaro-The color scheme is great, and the car has a great look. A

B.J. McLeod #78 Koolbox Chevy Camaro-The color scheme is great, and the car has a great look. A

BJ McLeod #78 Axele.com Chevy Camaro-This car is horrifically over designed, and not even a good color scheme can save this from an F.

Christopher Bell #95 Germania Insurance Toyota Camry-This is a really bold design, and it isn’t over done. It works very well, and gets an A.

Christopher Bell #95 Toyota Toyota Camry-The scheme is far too over designed, and the pointless black box makes it worse. I can’t give this anything less than a D.

Paint Scheme Grades-May 30, 2020

By David G. Firestone

Quin Houff #00 Good Greek Moving Chevy Camaro-The stripes on the front ar pointless, but other than that, the car is great. B+

Austin Dillon #3 DOW Keep America Beautiful Chevy Camaro-The curve designs are pointless, and give the car a bit of an odd look. Without them, this would get a solid A, but with them they get a B.

Austin Dillon #3 Coca Cola Chevy Camaro-A simple, yet bold look, it has a great color and design scheme, and this gets an A.

Ryan Newman #6 Roman Ford Mustang-A smooth look with a great paint scheme will ALWAYS earn an A.

Tyler Reddick #8 Alsco Uniforms Patriotic Chevy Camaro-Camo does NOT and never has worked on the side of a race car! This is a perfect example! This looks bad, and gets an F!

Aric Almirola #10 Smithfield Patriotic Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same D grade.

Denny Hamlin #11 FedEx Patriotic Toyota Camry-The patriotic elements don’t improve or demote the scheme, so it gets the same B+ as the FedEx scheme.

Ryan Blaney #12 Menards/Moen Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same B+ grade.

Ty Dillon #13 GEICO Hump Day Chevy Camaro-The camel motif doesn’t work, the shades of blue don’t work with each other, and the car just looks bad. F

Ty Dillon #13 Geico Military Chevy Camaro-Geico’s old Military scheme wasn’t great, but this new scheme is somehow worse! Replacing the black elements with white makes the car look worse. I give this an F.

Brennan Poole #15 In Memory of SFC Nathan Chapman Chevy Camaro-It’s a simple, smooth, and bold look, with a great color scheme, so it gets an A.

Kyle Busch #18 M&M’s Fudge Brownie Toyota Camry-Like the hazelnut scheme last year, replacing yellow with teal works well. A

Kyle Busch #18 M&M’s Patriotic Toyota Camry-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Martin Truex Jr. #19 Bass Pro Shops Patriotic Toyota Camry-The eagle motif works well, the color scheme is great, and this car looks awesome. A

Matt DiBenedetto #21 Menard’s/FVP Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same D grade.

William Byron #24 Liberty University Patriotic Chevy Camaro-This is a downgrade from last year. The more complex design isn’t as good. It’s not terrible, and it gets a B+

Gray Gaulding #27 Panini America Ford Mustang-The car is an ugly, over designed mess. Even with a great color scheme, this is still horrible. F

Corey LaJoie #32 Keen Parts/Corvette Parts “Thank a Hero” Ford Mustang-The scheme looks great, the color scheme works, it isn’t over designed, and the car has a smooth look. A

Corey LaJoie #32 Plan B Sales Ford Mustang-This is such an improvement over last year. It’s still a tad over designed, but it looks much more toned down than the 2019 version. B+

Corey LaJoie #32 Ark.io Ford Mustang-The car is an ugly, over designed mess. Even with a great color scheme, this is still horrible. F

Michael McDowell #34 Love’s Truck Stops Patriotic Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same F grade.

Ryan Preece #37 Tide Pods Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same F grade.

Ryan Preece #37 Scotts Patriotic Chevy Camaro-The color scheme is good, but the scheme is over done. The good equals the bad, so the scheme gets a C.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. #47 Kroger Patriotic Chevy Camaro-The slight change doesn’t hurt the design scheme at all.  A

Jimmie Johnson #48 Ally Financial Patriotic Chevy Camaro-This is a great look! It’s bold, it’s simple, it has a great color scheme, and it has an all around great look, that gets an A.

Joey Gase #51 Agri Supply Patriotic Ford Mustang-The color scheme is good, but the scheme is over done. The good equals the bad, so the scheme gets a C.

Alex Bowman #88 ChevyGoods.com/NOCO Patriotic Chevy Camaro-The car is an ugly, over designed mess. Even with a great color scheme, this is still horrible. F

Daniel Suarez #96 TODAY. TOMORROW. TOYOTA. Toyota Camry-It’s a tad over done, but it isn’t horrible. I’ll give it a B.

Kevin Harvick #4 Busch Light YOURFACEHERE Ford Mustang-The new branding doesn’t hurt a great scheme. A

Ryan Newman #6 Oscar Mayer Ford Mustang-I like this scheme. It’s a good look, with a great color scheme, and I can’t say anything bad about it. A

Josh Bilicki #7 Gravely Chevy Camaro-It has a smooth look, a great color scheme and I can’t say anything bad about it. A

Aric Almirola #10 Smithfield #GoodFoodChallenge Ford Mustang-This would be so much better without the slashes. The slashes take an A scheme down to a C.

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

Brennan Poole #15 SpartanGO Chevy Camaro-It has a smooth look, a great color scheme, and that will always earn an A.

JJ Yeley #27 Jacob Construction Ford Mustang-Same scheme as #51, same A grade.

Corey LaJoie #32 Drydene Ford Mustang-The slight redesign doesn’t take away from the scheme. This is a good look, and it earns an A.

John Hunter Nemechek #38 Scag Power Equipment Ford Mustang-Either tiger stripes OR cutting edge designs…you can’t have both, because the car is an over designed mess. F

Cole Custer #41 HaasTooling.com Ford Mustang-I think the cutting edge designs are decent, a tad over done. The gray could be a little darker. Still, it’s not horrible, so I’ll give it a B.

Matt Kenseth #42 Credit One Bank Chevy Camaro-Black is a decent addition to this look, and it looks sharper. I like this and it gets an A.

Joey Gase #51 Agri Supply/Carolina Cooker Chevy Camaro-A great and faithful throwback will ALWAYS earn an A.

Garrett Smithley #53 Trophy Tractor Chevy Camaro-Black with red is a great color scheme, and the smooth look earns this scheme an A.

Reed Sorenson #77 Greenville Swamp Rabbits/Bon Secours Chevy Camaro-This is another example of a scheme where there is nothing really wrong, but nothing really right either. It’s just blah, and I’ll give it a C.

BJ McLeod #78 Christensen Arms Chevy Camaro-It has a smooth look, a great color scheme, and that will always earn an A.

Joey Logano #22 Money Lion Ford Mustang-Same scheme as #2, same A grade.

Paint Scheme Grades-October 12, 2019

By David G. Firestone

Landon Cassill #00 Clean Origin Chevy Camaro-This is a good look, with a great color scheme, and I will give this an A.

Paul Menard #21 Menards/Cardell Cabinetry Ford Mustang-Same scheme as #12, same A grade.

Corey LaJoie #32 Drydene Ford Mustang-White and red is a great color scheme, and the design is bold and perfect. I can’t give this less than an A.

Michael McDowell #34 The Pete Store Ford Mustang-I’ll describe this as having nothing wrong, and nothing right at the same time. It’s just there. C.

Matt Tifft #36 Delaware Lottery/Surface Ford Mustang-Same scheme as #36, same B+ grade.

Chris Buescher #37 Kroger Simmer Like A Winner Chevy Camaro-The color scheme is great, and I love the bold look of the paintbrush motif. This scheme works and it gets an A.

JJ Yeley #52 Drive Smart Ford Mustang-The red really isn’t needed here, and it clutters up a decent scheme. Add it that the blue is too light, and you have a scheme that could have been an A is taken down to a B+

Matt DiBenedetto #95 Dumont Jets Toyota Camry-Same scheme as last year, same B- grade.

Paint Scheme Grades-September 7, 2019

By David G. Firestone

Landon Cassill #00 StarCom Fiber Throwback Chevy Camaro-I always love metallic siver, and the Coors Light look is a great look. I also like the design as a whole. This is getting an A.

Kurt Busch #1 Chevrolet Accessories Throwback Chevy Camaro-The black Monster Energy area looks out of place. This is visually distracting and takes away. The scheme looks good, but the black takes it from an A to an A-.

Brad Keselowski #2 Miller Throwback Ford Mustang-The Miller scheme had a unique look, and while I preferred the standard Miller Genuine Draft scheme, this is still a great scheme. A

Kevin Harvick #4 Busch Big Buck Hunter Ford Mustang-Red looks out of place here, and it doesn’t work with this design. Still, it is a decent look, so I’ll give it a B.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. #17 Dog’s Most Wanted Ford Mustang-I’ve never seen a car with the motif of someone sitting in a car before. It’s original, but it’s not really that great. Its not over done, but it’s not awful. I’ll give it a C.

Kyle Busch #18 Snickers Throwback Toyota Camry-The white design is a unique look, and it’s a good throwback. I like this, and I’m giving it an A.

Erik Jones #20 SportClips Throwback Toyota Camry-This is a smooth, simple look, and it’s a great look. The black works, the red works, and the scheme works. A

Joey Logano #22 Shell/Pennzoil Throwback Ford Mustang-I was not a fan of the Harvick Shell/Pennzoil scheme, and I’m not a fan of this throwback. There are other Shell schemes that could work, but this is just a meh scheme. I’ll give it a C.

Ryan Sieg #27 SciAps, Inc. Chevy Camaro-My only complaint here is that the green is too light, and it could be darker. A-

Corey Lajoie #32 Keen Parts/Corvette Parts Scooby Doo Ford Mustang-I never liked Scooby Doo, and I’m not a fan of this scheme. It’s not awful, but I don’t like it. I’ll give it a C.

Michael McDowell #34 Dockside Logistics Ford Mustang-This was a very unique scheme back in the day, and I like this faithgul representation. This is a good look, and I like the silver door numbers. A

Matt Tifft #36 Hilker Glass Throwback Ford Mustang-This is a bold look that isn’t over done. It’s also a faithful throwback. This is a great look, and I give it an A.

Chris Buescher #37 Kroger Fast Lane to Flavor Chevy Camaro-This is an ugly, over designed mess. The only good thing I can say is that I like the color scheme, so that saves it from an F. D-

Kyle Larson #42 Clover Throwback Chevy Camaro-I never liked the green Kodiak scheme, I always preferred the white scheme. This is a faithful replication, but it doesn’t pop as much as some of the others. I’ll give this a B.

Jimmie Johnson #48 Ally Throwback Throwback Chevy Camaro-This is so much better than his current Ally scheme, and it’s a faithful replica. This is a great scheme. A

BJ McLeod #51 Jacob Companies Throwback Chevy Camaro-An underrated NASCAR movie with a lot of great cars, this is a faithful replica of the #7 Chicken Pit/Zenon Ford Thunderbird. This is an amazing look, and I give it an A.

JJ Yeley #52 Jacob Companies Throwback Chevy Camaro-This is a good look, and I can’t say anything bad about it. A

2019 Throwbacks Ranked!

By David G. Firestone

The throwback race is behind us. You know what that means. I’m going to rank all of the 2019 throwback schemes. As in previous years, the top ranked scheme will be the winner of the Paint Scheme for Best Throwback Scheme. Let’s get going!

1. Austin Dillon #3 DOW Salutes Veterans Chevy Camaro-Black and gold works well, especially on a throwback. This is a great scheme, with a great color scheme, and I can’t give this less than an A.

2. Brad Keselowski #2 Miller Throwback Ford Mustang-The Miller scheme had a unique look, and while I preferred the standard Miller Genuine Draft scheme, this is still a great scheme. A

3. William Byron #24 City Chevrolet/Hendrick Autoguard Chevy CamaroCole’s City Chevrolet Lumina is my favorite car in Days Of Thunder. This is a great replica, and it looks really good. This is getting an A.

4. BJ McLeod #51 Jacob Companies Throwback Chevy Camaro-An underrated NASCAR movie with a lot of great cars, this is a faithful replica of the #7 Chicken Pit/Zenon Ford Thunderbird. This is an amazing look, and I give it an A.

5. Chase Elliott #9 NAPA Throwback Chevy Camaro-You could put all of Bill Elliott’s pre-1999 schemes in a hat, pick one out at random, and be guaranteed to pick a great scheme. 1981 was a great scheme, and this faithful throwback is an amazing representation. I love this scheme! A

6. Landon Cassill #00 StarCom Fiber Throwback Chevy Camaro-I always love metallic siver, and the Coors Light look is a great look. I also like the design as a whole. This is getting an A.

7. Alex Bowman #88 Axalta Throwback Chevy Camaro-The Tim Richmond Folgers scheme was a great scheme, and it’s nice that Axalta is doing a faithful throwback. This is a great look. A

8. Austin Dillon #3 American Ethanol Throwback Chevy Camaro-Dale’s Olympic scheme was a great scheme. This somewhat faithful replica looks really good, and I can’t really say anything bad. A

9. William Byron #24 City Chevrolet/Hendrick Autoguard Chevy CamaroCole’s City Chevrolet Lumina is my favorite car in Days Of Thunder. This is a great replica, and it looks really good. This is getting an A.

10. JJ Yeley #52 Jacob Companies Throwback Chevy Camaro-This is a good look, and I can’t say anything bad about it. A

11. David Ragan #38 Thanks DW Ford Mustang-Darrell’s chrome scheme was a bold look that would look just as awesome today. While I think that metallic silver isn’t chrome, I do love this look, and I think this scheme is great. A

12. Denny Hamlin #11 FedEx Throwback Toyota Camry-Darrell’s 1990’s Parts America scheme was a great scheme. It looked amazing, and still holds up today! This is a great throwback scheme, and I can’t give this less than an A!

13. Ricky Stenhouse #17 Fastenal Throwback Ford Mustang-Darrell’s 1990’s Parts America scheme was a great scheme. It looked amazing, and still holds up today! This is a great throwback scheme, and I can’t give this less than an A!

14. Matt DiBenedetto #95 Procore Thanks DW Throwback Toyota CamryFaithful 1970’s schemes always look awesome, and this is no exception. This is an amazing look, and I love everything about this scheme! A

15. Erik Jones #20 SportClips Throwback Toyota Camry-This is a smooth, simple look, and it’s a great look. The black works, the red works, and the scheme works. A

16. Garrett Smithley #54 AQRE Throwback Chevy Camaro-Not the scheme I was expecting, but this is a good look, and it’s a faithful replica. I give this an A.

17. Daniel Hemric #8 Caterpillar Throwback Chevy Camaro-This is a great scheme, not just because it looks awesome, but because I like how throwbacks are evolving in NASCAR. It used to be that throwbacks were either old schemes, or based on old schemes. Nowadays, everything from cans to trucks are being used. This example is based on an old Caterpillar tractor from the 1920’s. This looks amazing! A

18. David Ragan #38 Shriners Hospitals for Children Throwback Ford MustangDavid Pearson’s 1969 Torino Cobra is a great look, and this is a great throwback. I can’t give this less than an A.

19. Ryan Preece #47 Kroger Throwback Chevy CamaroI love this throwback! The shade of red works, the design looks great, and the car just looks awesome. I love good throwbacks, and this is a good throwback. A

20. Michael McDowell #34 Dockside Logistics Ford Mustang-This was a very unique scheme back in the day, and I like this faithful representation. This is a good look, and I like the silver door numbers. A

21. Ryan Blaney #12 Pennzoil Throwback Ford Mustang-Mike’s old Pennzoil scheme was simple, it was attractive, and it worked. This faithful replica works well, and earns an A.

22. Jimmie Johnson #48 Ally Throwback Throwback Chevy Camaro-This is so much better than his current Ally scheme, and it’s a faithful replica. This is a great scheme. A

23. Paul Menard #21 Motorcraft Throwback Ford MustangGlen’s 1956 Ford Fairlane had a great look, and this faithful replica is a great look. This is an amazing look, and I can’t give this less than an A.

24. Kyle Busch #18 Snickers Throwback Toyota Camry-The white design is a unique look, and it’s a good throwback. I like this, and I’m giving it an A.

25. Corey LaJoie #32 Keen Parts/Corvette Parts Throwback Ford Mustang-Jarrett’s Nestle scheme is an interesting throwback choice, but it’s well done, very faithful, and earns an A as a result.

26. Matt Tifft #36 Hilker Glass Throwback Ford Mustang-This is a bold look that isn’t over done. It’s also a faithful throwback. This is a great look, and I give it an A.

27. Martin Truex Jr. #19 Bass Pro Shops Throwback Toyota Camry-I’m not always a fan of Bass Pro Shops throwbacks, some are better than others. That being said, this scheme is a good look, with a great color scheme. This scheme gets an A.

28. Darrell Wallace Jr. #43 Victory Junction Throwback Chevy CamaroSpree was never one of my favorite sponsors. That said, after some time, I do see what they were doing with their scheme. This is a faithful representation of the old Spree scheme, and It works very well. A

29. Daniel Suarez #41 Haas Throwback Ford Mustang-The third Tony Stewart Championship throwback scheme is based on his 2005 Home Depot scheme, which is the best of the three. It’s faithful, and it has a great look, and that will always earn an A.

30. Aric Almirola #10 Smithfield Throwback Ford Mustang-For Tony Stewart’s Hall of Fame election, Stewart-Haas Racing’s cars are being painted in the colors of Tony’s Cup Championship schemes. The first from 2002, is based on Tony’s Home Depot. It’s a faithful replica, so that’s good, and I do like the Home Depot’s shade of orange. All things considered, this gets an A.

31 Clint Bowyer #14 Rush Truck Centers/Mobil 1 Ford Mustang-This second Tony Stewart Throwback is based on his 2011 Office Depot/Mobil 1 Chevy. Like the #10, it’s a faithful replica, with correct colors. I liked the design back then, and I like this now, so this gets an A.

32. Paul Menard #21 Quaker State/Menards Steve Kinser Throwback Ford MustangIt’s a good throwback, with a great design, and that will always earn an A.

33. Matt DiBenedetto #95 Toyota Throwback Toyota Camry-It’s a smooth look, it has a great color scheme, and that will always earn an A.

34. Reed Sorenson #77 Motor Racing Network Throwback Chevy Camaro-A fauxback, but a good one. Blue and gold works well, and the design is simple. I give this an A.

35. Kurt Busch #1 Star Nursery Throwback Chevy Camaro-My only complaint is the forced black spot for the Monster Energy logo. Other than that, this is a really great throwback. A-

36. Kurt Busch #1 Chevrolet Accessories Throwback Chevy Camaro-The black Monster Energy area looks out of place. This is visually distracting and takes away. The scheme looks good, but the black takes it from an A to an A-.

37. Ryan Newman #6 Oscar Meyer/Velveeta Throwback Ford Mustang-Full disclosure, I loved the old Mark Martin Valvoline design. This new version with Oscar Meyer and Velveeta colors is not as great. The red, white, and blue design works well. Red, green and white doesn’t work as well. It’s still decent, so I’ll give it a B+.

38. Kyle Larson #42 Clover Throwback Chevy Camaro-I never liked the green Kodiak scheme, I always preferred the white scheme. This is a faithful replication, but it doesn’t pop as much as some of the others. I’ll give this a B.

39. Joey Logano #22 Shell/Pennzoil Throwback Ford Mustang-I was not a fan of the Harvick Shell/Pennzoil scheme, and I’m not a fan of this throwback. There are other Shell schemes that could work, but this is just a meh scheme. I’ll give it a C.

Next week, I revisit an older article.
