The Driver Suit Blog-The Final Paint Scheme Grades of 2025

By David G. Firestone

Ty Dillon #10 Alpine Partners Chevy Camaro-I’m not sure why, but I really don’t like this shade of blue with this scheme. It’s not bad, but it could be a lot better. B+

AJ Allmendinger #16 Celsius Sports Vibe Chevy Camaro-I like the look, the color scheme works well, and I like the stripes, A

Erik Jones #43 Dollar Tree/Ziploc Toyota Camry-A smooth look with a great color scheme will always earn an A.

JJ Yeley #44 Fanatics Sportsbook Chevy Camaro-Not bad, but a slight downgrade from the other scheme. A-

Michael McDowell #71 Tide Chevy Camaro-Tide has many great NASCAR schemes throughout history, and this isn’t one of them. It’s an ugly, over designed mess, that just looks awful. F

Daniel Suarez #99 Trackhouse Chevy Camaro-It’s an ugly, over designed mess, and this gets an F.

Austin Dillon #3 Bass Pro Shops/Winchester Waterfowl Chevy Camaro-Too much going on here to get a high grade, but not bad enough to fail. C

Kyle Busch #8 BetMGM Chevy Camaro-This is a major downgrade from the previous schemes. By itself, it might get a B, but this gets a C.

Denny Hamlin #11 King’s Hawaiian Toyota Camry-The yellow is really pointless, and distracts from what had been a good scheme. This went from at least a high B to a C.

Chris Buescher #17 Kroger/Core Power Ford Mustang-A smooth look and a great color scheme will always earn an a.

Christopher Bell #20 Coofandy Menswear Toyota Camry-Too many contrasting colors, and too many designs to get anything higher than an F.

Cole Custer #41 Texas A&M University Ford Mustang-The gray isn’t great, but white would be worse. Still, it’s a good scheme, so it gets an A-.

Cody Ware #51 Rexzilla Ford Mustang-Even if this wasn’t a Kick streamer, the over use of designs and colors would earn this scheme an F.

Anthony Alfredo #62 Lil’ Dude Wipes Chevy Camaro-This is not a good look. The “Bubble Bum” motif does not look good. Black and pink can work, but the design scheme is horrid. F

Michael McDowell #71 Gainbridge/WIMNA Chevy Camaro-First off, teal and orange without black is an odd look in an of itself. The design does it no favors, and this gets an F.

Carson Hocevar #77 Modo Casino Chevy Camaro-It’s not great, but this looks a whole hell of a lot better than previous Modo Casino schemes. All things considered, this gets a B.

Ross Chastain #1 Busch Light Camo Chevy Camaro-Not only is this a downgrade from last year, it’s one of the worst camo scheme I think I’ve ever seen. F

Corey LaJoie #7 Gainbridge Assists Chevy Camaro-Nothing really wrong here, looks good! A

Denny Hamlin #11 National Debt Relief Toyota Camry-The car looks a little more cluttered, and it’s a downgrade. C-

Chris Buescher #17 Kroger/Thomas’ High Protein Bagels Ford Mustang-Orange can be a finicky color when used on race cars, but this shade of orange works well with black. This car looks good. A

Bubba Wallace #23 Columbia Sportswear Toyota Camry-Good color scheme, bad design scheme, all even out to get a C.

Zane Smith #38 Benebone Ford Mustang-The old scheme worked well, the new scheme, with red elements added, is a major downgrade. It goes from an A to a B.

Cole Custer #41 Sysco/RaceTrac Ford Mustang-Good color scheme, good design scheme, and you can’t go wrong with pizza! A

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. #47 Jack Links Non-Vegan Chevy Camaro-Love the red meat design, and between pizza and red meat, I’m hungry. A

Justin Haley #7 Fly Alliance Chevy Camaro-Good color scheme plus mediocre design scheme will earn a C.

Ty Dillon #10 Sugarlands Shine/Field and Stream Chevy Camaro-Camo is never good, but this is even worse than anything I’ve seen. Side note, am I the only one wondering why Field and Stream hasn’t been on the side of a stock car, given how many hunting and fishing companies sponsor NASCAR? F

Chris Buescher #17 Kroger/International Delight Ford Mustang-The stripes do NOT work, the car looks cluttered. Sadly, this could have been a solid A scheme, but this gets a C.

Riley Herbst #35 Hungry Jack Toyota Camry-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Cole Custer #41 HaasTooling.com Ford Mustang-Replacing black with blue doesn’t work, as it really contrasts with the rest of the scheme. It just doesn’t work. F

Cody Ware #51 Arby’s Steak Nuggets Ford Mustang-Good look, not really over done, and the steak nuggets look tasty. A

Ryan Preece #60 Sysco/Crumbl Ford Mustang-A smooth look with a good color scheme will always earn an A.

Josh Bilicki #66 Truan Equipment Ford Mustang-A smooth look with a good color scheme will always earn an A.

Carson Hocevar #77 Classic Collision Chevy Camaro-I’m beginning to hate neon on black, and the design is nothing to write home about, so this gets a C.

Shane van Gisbergen #88 Jockey New Zealand Camaro-I like the look, even if I don’t get what they are going for. That said, it’s a tad over designed, in my opinion, so it gets a B.

Ryan Preece #60 Kroger/Minute Rice Ford Mustang-A smooth look with a great color scheme will always earn an A.

Ross Chastain #1 Busch Light Throwback Chevy Camaro-While I think it’s odd a black mustang is on a Chevy, this is still an awesome retro look! A
