NASCAR Paint Schemes of the Week: Return to Talladega

It is finally here! The fall date for the Talladega NASCAR Playoff race. A lot is at stake this weekend in Alabama. This is also a race where we get some interesting new looks from teams and sponsors. So, it should be a fun weekend overall.

Three days, three races, and three chances for drivers to make their way to the Championship 4. Truck Series, Xfinity Series, and Cup Series action is going to have fans entertained and partying all weekend long.

Let’s look at these Cup Series cars. A few sponsors have decided it is time to pull out their best promotions and one-off looks.

Ross Chastain No. 1 Busch Light Hunting Chevy

The Busch Light Chevy has a new, camo look. Just like the cans in stores, Ross Chastain’s No. 1 car is getting a new design for hunting season.

Talladega and Busch Light – a match made in Heaven. What more could you want from a NASCAR Cup car this time of the year? 9.5/10.

Denny Hamlin No. 11 National Debt Relief Toyota

This is a NASCAR fan-voted scheme. Denny Hamlin fans were able to pick their favorite design out of a few options and National Debut Relief is running the winner.

Hamlin is locked into Phoenix after winning at Las Vegas last weekend. So, it might be the most calm Talladega race ever for Hamlin. 8/10.

Chris Buescher No. 17 Kroger Thomas’ Bagels Ford

Black and orange in October always works well. Chris Buescher and Kroger are teaming up with Thomas’ High Protein Bagels and bringing them to Dega.

Nothing to help you get over that hangover like a high-protein bagel, right? Buescher is definitely a threat to win this weekend. 8/10.

Bubba Wallace No. 23 Columbia Toyota

Part of their “engineered for whatever” campaign, Bubba Wallace has a special Columbia NASCAR paint scheme. It is different from what we have seen before from Columbia.

Black and red make for mean-looking racecars. This is no different. How about another late-season win at Dega for Wallace? 8.5/10.

Cole Custer No. 41 Sysco RaceTrac Ford

Sysco is going with another paint scheme this week. They are on the No. 41 of Cole Custer along with RaceTrac. A solid blue and white scheme with touches of red and of course, the tasty design on the rear quarter panel.

Custer could really use a strong finish at Talladega. His season has not gone all too well. 7.5/10.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. No. 47 JackLinks Non-Vegan Chevy

A little in your face, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is driving a meat car this NASCAR weekend. JackLinks Non-Vegan Chevy. How about that?

In case you were wondering if the jerky company was going to explore vegan options, here is your answer. It ain’t happening.

Michael McDowell No. 71 Carolina Handling Chevy

A new sponsor and look for Michael McDowell. We know that he can get the job done at Talladega. Spire Motorsports would love to end the year with a big win.

This is a solid car, and I think it will look great on the track on NASCAR Sunday. Can McDowell steal a win? 8/10.

Carson Hocevar No. 77 Modo Casino Chevy

It won’t be hard to find Carson Hocevar this NASCAR weekend at Talladega. His car is bright, pink, and ready to run up front.

The 77 car has come close this season to winning. Can Hocevar get it done in his rookie season? 8/10.
