The Driver Suit Blog-Paint Scheme Grades-October 18, 2025

By David G. Firestone

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

Kyle Larson #5 HendrickCars.com/Zac Brown Band Chevy Camaro-Two globes are a bit much, only one would be better. 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.

William Byron #24 Relay Payments Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same B+ grade.

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

John Hunter Nemechek #42 Pye Barker Fire & Safety Chevy Camaro-Pinkwashing is an automatic F.

J.J. Yeley #44 Epoxy Depot Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Tyler Reddick #45 Jordan Brand Toyota Camry-Too much going on here, and the reverse flames look really weird. 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.
