Tracker Boats – Page 4 – The Driver Suit Blog

Jamie McMurray #1 Bass Pro Shops/Tracker Boats Chevy Camaro-Replacing black with white could have gone a long way, but this scheme isn’t horrible, so I’ll give it a B+.

Kevin Harvick #4 Busch Throwback Ford Fusion-The vintage can design worked for Brad Keselowski last year, and it works for Kevin Harvick this year. The car has a great look with a great color scheme, and earns an A as a result.

Matt Kenseth #6 Roush Throwback Ford Fusion-I loved the Eagle One scheme back in the day, and I love this faithful replica today. It has a great look, and a great design, and earns an A.

Chase Elliott #9 Sun Energy Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same F grade.

Aric Almirola #10 Smithfield/Waffle House Ford Fusion-Too many different designs, which all contrast with each other is not a great look. This isn’t a scheme I can give any higher than an F, so I won’t.

Ryan Blaney #12 Hawk Performance/Carlisle Ford Fusion-New sponsor for 2018, same as Fleetwood RV, but with Hawk Performance on sides, and Carlisle on sides. A

Clint Bowyer #14 Mobil 1/Stewart-Haas Racing Fan Club Ford Fusion-It’s a meh design scheme with a decent color scheme, so, all things considered, I’ll give it a C.

Clint Bowyer #14 IT Savvy Ford Fusion-Orange can be iffy on race cars, but this scheme works well. The shade of orange is good, and the design works very well. A

Justin Marks #15 Sufferfest Beer Chevy Camaro-The design scheme works well, the color scheme works perfectly with the design scheme, and this scheme earns an A.

Ross Chastain #15 Caddy’s Chevy Camaro-I love the beach motif, it’s a bold, unique look, that isn’t over designed, and the car looks great as a result! A

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

Paul Menard #21 Menard’s/Knauf Ford Fusion-The new Penske template is a piece of perfection. The schemes all look great, are bold, but not over designed messes. This is yet another perfect example of a great Penske Template scheme. A

William Byron #24 Axalta Throwback Chevy Camaro-We have a new front runner for best throwback scheme! This was a great scheme back in the day, and it looks good today. I can’t say anything bad here, so I won’t. A

William Byron #24 Hertz Chevy Camaro-As much as I like the color scheme here, I can’t say the same for the design. It’s a little too over designed for my taste. Toning down the stripes would work better. It’s still not a bad design,but it does have its flaws, so I’ll give it a B+.

Ryan Newman #31 CAT/Granger Chevy Camaro-It’s a unique look, with a great color scheme, and I really can’t say anything bad about it. A

Matt DiBenedetto #32 Zynga Poker Ford Fusion-Great color scheme, great design scheme, and I love the poker chip motif used here. A

Chris Buescher #37 Clorox Chevy Camaro-The cutting edge design scheme is a downgrade from last year. Also, the red could be toned down too. All things considered, I’ll give it a B-.

BJ McLeod #51 Prefund Capital Chevy Camaro-It’s a smooth look, with a great color scheme, and that will always earn an A.

Timmy Hill #66 Sentinel One Chevy Camaro-My only complaint is that the side designs could be toned down a bit, but other than that, it’s a great scheme. A-

Alex Bowman #88 Nationwide Patriotic Chevy Camaro-A bit bolder than last year, this new patriotic scheme is quite good, and it’s not over done. I like this scheme, and it earns an A.

Kasey Kahne #95 Drumont Jets Chevy Camaro-Another great throwback scheme. Kasey’s Budweiser scheme has always been good, and this faithful replica is no exception. A

Paint Scheme Grades-September 9, 2017

By David G. Firestone

Jamie McMurray #1 McDonald’s Throwback Chevy SS-It’s a pretty faithful replica of the Hawaiian Tropic scheme, but with McDonald’s logos. It’s a good look, and it earns an A.

Kevin Harvick #4 Busch Throwback Chevy SS-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Trevor Bayne #6 Advocare Throwback Ford Fusion-Advocare always does a great Mark Martin throwback, and this Stroh’s throwback is no exception. It’s faithful, and it looks good. A

Reed Sorenson #15 Xchange Of America Throwback Toyota Camry-Motorcraft schemes have ranged from good to great, and while this one falls into the “good” category, it’s a great look…even if it’s on a Toyota. A

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. #17 Fifth-Third Bank Throwback Ford Fusion-I was wondering when this scheme would be run as a throwback, and I’m glad it’s here. The block fade was a unique and amazing look, and it was redone very well. A

Matt Kenseth #20 Circle K Toyota Camry-I don’t like the changes here. It thought the scheme was great, but the orange numbers take it down from an A to an A-.

Paul Menard #27 Menard’s/Dutch Boy Throwback Chevy SS-Same scheme as Dutch Boy, same A grade.

Jeffery Earnhardt #33 Hulu Throwback Chevy SS-The Lowe’s Foods scheme is criminally overlooked when talking about Dale Earnhardt’s paint schemes, and it’s a shame. It’s a great look, and the new version looks good, so it earns an A.

Landon Cassill #34 Love’s Truck Stops Throwback Ford Fusion-Same basicscheme as last year, same A grade.

Chris Buescher #37 Cheerios Throwback Chevy SS– I’m going to quote my Throwback Thursday article on this scheme: “No the Buick isn’t butter flavored. Red, Yellow and white with a curved stripe up the side is a good look. I also like the logo curved over the wheel well. The gold reflective numbers look good, and the black outline works very well. The white looks really good on the Buick. The Butter Flavored letting could be in a different color, as it sort of blends in to the stripe. I also like the lettering on PATTY MOISE above the door.”A

David Ragan #38 Good Sam Throwback Ford Fusion-It’s more of a fauxback, but it’s a good look, with a good color scheme, and I’ll give it an A.

Kyle Larson #42 First Data Chevy SS-The fade works very well, and the circuit design works very well with this scheme. It’s a good look across the board. A

Kyle Larson #42 Credit One Bank Throwback Chevy SS-Not going to lie, I didn’t like this scheme when it first debuted, but as the years have gone on, it has grown on me. A

Cody Ware #51 Bubba Burger/Pray For Texas Chevy SS-It is Cole Trickle’s number, with Kyle Petty’s scheme, and it’s raising money for Hurricane Harvey victims, so it earns an A.

Cole Whitt #72 Ted Whitt Throwback Chevy SS-Ted Whitt had a really good race car, with a really good look, which is faithfully replicated here. It’s a good look, with a great history, and it’s an A scheme.

Erik Jones #77 5-Hour Energy Mosaic Toyota Camry-I get what the premise is here, but mosaic schemes never look good, and this is no exception. It’s a cluttered, jumbled mess of a scheme that earns an F.

Martin Truex Jr. #78 Bass Pro Shops/Tracker Boats Throwback Toyota Camry-This scheme, while decent, could have been a lot better. No throwback logos, no vintage design, nothing that could make this scheme a throwback. Again, it’s not horrible, I don’t like the shade of green used, but It’s worth a B-, all things considered.
