The Driver Suit Blog-Paint Scheme Grades-February 8, 2025

By David G. Firestone

Corey LaJoie #01 DuraMax/Take 5 Oil Change Chevy Camaro-While I like black and red as a color scheme, this is somewhat over done, with the stripes on hood and roof. Still it isn’t bad, so it gets a B.

Ross Chastain #1 Trackhouse Chevy Camaro-Too over designed, and yellow and gray is an odd color scheme. F

Austin Cindric #2 Freightliner/eCascadia Ford Mustang-Not good, I like the stripes, but the design is over done. D

Noah Gragson #4 TrueTimber Chevy Camaro-I hate camo on race cars, this isn’t, has never been, and never will be a good look. F

Justin Haley #7 Fraternal Order of Eagles Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same A- grade.

Kyle Busch #8 Bank OKZ Chevy Camaro-A little too over designed for my taste, but still really good. A-

Chase Elliott #9 NAPA Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Ty Dillon #10 Sea Best Seafood Chevy Camaro– stripes are too over done, and it’s also a downgrade when compared to last year. B

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

I'm just a normal guy who collects race-worn driver suits, helmets, sheet metal, and other race-worn items. I will use this blog to help collectors, and race fans alike understand the various aspects of driver suits and helmets, and commentate on paint schemes.
