By David G. Firestone

Ross Chastain #1 Busch Light #ForTheFarmers Chevy Camaro-Horrible, and a massive downgrade from last year. F

Austin Cindric #2 Menards/Ideal Door Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Austin Cindric #2 Snap On Ford Mustang-Smooth, sleek, simple, perfect. A

Noah Gragson #4 A&W Root Beer Ford Mustang-Changing the placement of the colors doesn’t do much to change the grade. B

Ty Dillon #10 Sea Best Seafood Chevy Camaro-Getting rid of the shrimp, especially that tail-on bullshit would work better. Still, this isn’t bad, so this gets a B.

Denny Hamlin #11 Bob’s Discount Furniture Toyota Camry-Teal, red, and yellow is a really odd color combo. If the car had red sides and a teal hood and roof, it would work much better. This gets a C.

Josh Berry #21 Menards/Masterforce Tools Ford Mustang-Taking a great scheme and making it better will always earn an A

Bubba Wallace #23 Alltroo Toyota Camry-Taking an awful scheme and making it worse will always earn an F.

Bubba Wallace #23 McDonald’s Toyota Camry-It’s good, it’s not over done, and it works. A

Erik Jones #43 Tri State Vacuum & Rental LLC Toyota Camry-As much as I like this design scheme, I have to ask…when did teal and cream become the go-to colors for new schemes. Both are bland, and don’t really stand out in the crowd. Good design plus blah color earns a C.

JJ Yeley #44 Syracuse Football NIL Camaro-I think lessening the blue would work much better. Still, this isn’t bad, so this gets an A-.

Cody Ware #51 Costa Oil Ford Mustang-A smooth look with a great color scheme will always earn an A.

Cody Ware #51 Parts Plus/Jacob Construction Ford Mustang-Changing the placement of the colors doesn’t do much to change the grade. A

Joey Gase #66 King of the Hill on Hulu Ford Mustang-I’m enjoying the King of the Hill reboot, and this is a great looking car I tell you what! A! Sorry, had to do it.

Josh Bilicki #66 Southern Tier Security Ford Mustang-Mediocre design scheme, and mediocre color scheme will always earn a C.
