Ross Chastain #1 Jockey x Folds of Honor Chevy Camaro-The cutting edge designs aren’t good, and take an A scheme down to a C.
Austin Dillon #3 Bass Pro Shops/Winchester Patriotic Chevy Camaro-Not great, but holy hell is this better than camo! C
Noah Gragson #4 Rush Truck Centers Patriotic Ford Mustang-It’s not bad, but it is a downgrade from the regular scheme. Changing the colors to red, white, and blue while keeping the design would have been better. B+
Kyle Larson #5 HendrickCars.com H1100 Chevy Camaro-IndyCar schemes do not transfer well to NASCAR, and vice versa. However, this isn’t bad, though I could do without the orange and black. B
Brad Keselowski #6 BuildSubmarines.com Patriotic Ford Mustang-A good look, not over designed, and it looks amazing! A
Justin Haley #7 Gainbridge Patriotic Chevy Camaro-This new color scheme is much better, and the car gets an A as a result.
Chase Elliott #9 NAPA Patriotic Chevy Camaro-A very slight improvement, but camo still looks awful, and this gets an F.
Ty Dillon #10 Grizzly Nicotine Pouches Chevy Camaro-A smooth look with a great color scheme will always earn an A.
Ryan Blaney #12 BodyArmor Chill Ford Mustang-Too many colors, and too many designs. F
AJ Allmendinger #16 LeafFilter Gutter Protection Patriotic Chevy Camaro-Not better, not worse, just the same. B+
Chris Buescher #17 Body Guard Patriotic Ford Mustang-Black good, camo bad, both together equal out to a C.
Chase Briscoe #19 Bass Pro Shops/Tracker Off Road Patriotic Toyota Camry-I might have graded this lower, however this is a big improvement over the last scheme. B
Christopher Bell #20 Rheem Patriotic Toyota Camry-Not better, not worse, just the same. C
Joey Logano #22 Pennzoil Ultra Premium Ford Mustang-A smooth look with a great color scheme will always earn an A.
Bubba Wallace #23 Chumba Casino Toyota Camry-Same scheme as #35, same F grade.
William Byron #24 Axalta Patriotic Chevy Camaro-A great look, white works well as a primary color, this gets an A.
John Hunter Nemechek #42 Dollar Tree Patriotic Toyota Camry-Scaling down, or even eliminating the red stripes would work much better, but this gets a B+, since it isn’t that bad.
Erik Jones #43 Advent Health Toyota Camry-Replacing white with another color would work much better. B
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. #47 FunPops Chevy Camaro-Calling this car an ugly, over designed mess is an understatement. This gets an F.
Alex Bowman #48 Ally Financial Patriotic Chevy Camaro-Another example of a scheme rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Last year’s scheme was bad, and so is this scheme. F
Cody Ware #51 Jacob Construction/Evel Knievel Ford Mustang-It’s a good look, not over done, and I like this look a lot. A
Ryan Preece #60 Kroger/Irish Spring Patriotic Ford Mustang-Camo is bad enough, but the white on the front really makes it so much worse. F
Michael McDowell #71 Delaware Life/Veterans 1001 Chevy Camaro-A bit of a downgrade, since the car is more over designed, even with a better color scheme. D+
Jimmie Johnson #84 Carvana Patriotic Toyota Camry-While the overall design would get a C, the addition of yellow and blue door numbers is very garish. It clashes with the rest of the scheme, and would have been better with red on white, or white on red. This gets a D as a result, since there are worse entries.
Daniel Suarez #99 Freeway Insurance Patriotic Chevy Camaro-Too many designs. The car is way too over designed, and this gets an F.
