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

Josh Berry #21 DEX Imaging Ford Mustang-I am so nostalgic for this scheme, and I’m stunned it hasn’t been used yet. I love this and it gets an A.

Bubba Wallace #23 Logitech Toyota Camry-My main issue with this scheme is the series of small stripes under the numbers. It’s not a good look, and while the rest of the scheme is mediocre, the stripes take it down to a D-.

Todd Gilliland #34 Overplay Ford Mustang-Get rid of the green, and this will be a solid A, but with the green, this is an A-.

Erik Jones #43 Dollar Tree Toyota Camry-I normally don’t talk about this, but the adding of Petty blue to the door numbers does NOT work here. It really clashes with the rest of the scheme. This look goes from an A to a C.

Tyler Reddick #45 SiriusXM Toyota Camry-Reversing the colors doesn’t really affect the scheme. C

Harrison Burton #51 Morton Buildings Ford Mustang-Good color scheme, but it’s a little too over designed, so it gets a C.

Ty Gibbs #54 SiriusXM Toyota Camry-Same scheme as last year, same C grade.

Ryan Preece #60 Boston Common Golf Ford Mustang-Another good fade, I love the color scheme, and this gets an A.

Carson Hocevar #77 Gainbridge/WNBA All Star ’25 Chevy Camaro-Too many colors, and the car is too over designed. F

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

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