The Driver Suit Blog-Paint Scheme Grades-May 10, 2025

By David G. Firestone

Ross Chastain #1 Tootsies Orchid Lounge Chevy Camaro-I like the look, the purple neon flames look good, this gets an A.

Justin Haley #7 Katz Coffee Chevy Camaro-I like the color scheme, the design is a little too over designed, this gets a C.

Kyle Busch #8 7-Eleven Chevy Camaro-It’s well-known that 7-Eleven has had some great paint schemes over the years, but this is over done. I hate the stripes on the front. This gets a C.

Chase Elliott #9 NAPA 100 Chevy Camaro-Metallic gold is an underused color in racing, and I love this look! The blue works well, and the car looks great! A

Ryan Blaney #12 Menard’s/Knauf Ford Mustang-Light blue doesn’t work nearly as well as black with the Menard’s template. This goes from an A to a C.

AJ Allmendinger #16 LeafFilter Gutter Protection Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same B+ grade.

Josh Berry #21 Würth Ford Mustang-Same scheme as #12, same A grade.

Joey Logano #22 AAA Insurance Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Riley Herbst #35 BeatBox Toyota Camry-Too many colors, too many designs, this gets an F.

Cole Custer #41 Red Baron Ford Mustang-A smooth look with a great color scheme will always earn an A.

JJ Yeley #44 Barnett Southern Corporation Chevy Camaro-I loves me a good fade, and this is a good fade! This gets an A!

Tyler Reddick #45 Jordan Brand Toyota Camry-This is too over designed to get anything higher than an F.

Ryan Preece #60 Kroger/Sara Lee/Kraft Singles Ford Mustang-A red to white to yellow fade would work much better here. The stripe isn’t needed. This isn’t bad, so this gets a B.

Jesse Love #62 C4 Ultimate Energy Solutions Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same A- grade.

Chad Finchum #66 Hart HVAC & Electric Ford Mustang-I like the shade of red, but that’s the only good thing I can say here. D-

Daniel Suarez #99 Kubota Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same C 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.
