NASCAR Paint Schemes of the Week: 2025 Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta

This week the NASCAR Cup Series heads to Atlanta with a fresh batch of paint schemes hauling down the road from North Carolina. The Ambetter Health 400 gave us the now iconic three-wide finish last season with Daniel Suárez, Ryan Blaney, and Kyle Busch.

Since the reconfiguration of the track and of course, the introduction of the Gen 7 car, Atlanta has put on some of the most electric racing in NASCAR. We can only hope for a finish half as good as 2024 this weekend.

Another week means more NASCAR paint schemes to look through and ultimately judge. It is early in the season so everything looks so new and fun, but we’ll get down to the ten best below.

Noah Gragson No. 4 TitleMax Ford

Noah Gragson brings a new sponsor to the track this week with TitleMax. Over the years, Gragson has had a number of fun NASCAR paint schemes, hopefully, he gets back to that this season with his sponsors.

Front Row Motorsports has Gragson in the best position he has been in to this point in his Cup career. Could Atlanta be his and FRM’s coming out party? 8.5/10, very clean and classic look.

Denny Hamlin No. 11 Yahoo! Toyota

A lack of sponsors isn’t going to keep Denny Hamlin down. This week he is bringing Yahoo! onboard the No. 11 car. I like the different purples incorporated and the silly yahooooooooo wrapped around the car.

Last week was a good showing for Hamlin. In the Clash and Daytona 500, Chris Gayle and Hamlin have worked well together. A win at Atlanta would be the perfect way to start this new partnership. 8/10.

Ryan Blaney No. 12 BodyArmor Zero Sugar Ford

Are teams still trying to skirt the tech sensors with these dark rear quarter panels? I’m not sure, but this is a really solid BodyArmor scheme from Ryan Blaney.

Team Penske is searching for a fourth straight championship this year. Blaney wants revenge for last year’s Atlanta finish. Is this paint scheme going to NASCAR victory lane? 8.5/10.

Bubba Wallace No. 23 Columbia Sportswear Toyota

Is it 2025 or 1985? This classic Columbia Sportswear color scheme comes to the Cup Series with the No. 23 team. Bubba Wallace is going to be racing in style.

It won’t be hard to keep up with Wallace on Sunday. After winning a Duel race, Wallace is probably dying to win one of the real things. 10/10 fantastic design and colors.

Todd Gilliland No. 34 Aaron’s Ford

That’s Michael Waltrip’s music! … Wait, never mind. Todd Gilliland is bringing Aaron’s back to the NASCAR Cup Series.

Aaron’s returns with Gilliland but will have multiple races this season with Zane Smith. How about classic sponsors returning to the sport, folks? 9/10 for nostalgia.

John Hunter Nemechek No. 42 Dollar Tree Toyota

Green and gold are such a nice combination. I really like these Legacy Motor Club Toyotas and the Dollar Tree scheme is anything but cheap.

John Hunter Nemechek has a lot to prove this year. Will he be able to help Legacy take that next step up in 2025? 8/10.

Tyler Reddick No. 45 Xfinity Mobile Toyota

Simple yet effective. I really like this among even our other NASCAR paint schemes of the week. 23XI Racing just has the right aesthetic and has locked in on that time and time again.

This car looks great in pictures. 23XI Racing and Xfinity have extended their partnership and Tyler Reddick is ready to put this 45 car in victory lane. 9/10. So clean.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. No. 47 Martin’s Famous Potato Rolls Chevy

This gets the award for most fun and creative of the week. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Hyak Motorsports are not worried about sponsors lost. After all, they have Martin’s Famous Potato Rolls.

This looks like a car from a movie but it also looks so right. Almost like a classic 80s NASCAR paint scheme on a modern Next Gen car. 9.5/10.

Cody Ware No. 51 Arby’s Ford

This season we have serious investment in the sport from McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and now Arby’s. The fast food chain is set to sponsor Cody Ware 12 times this season starting this weekend.

This is a simple and effective design. That empty door space is being used and there is a good flow to it. Red and white schemes are classic. 8/10. Only time I’ll say the yellow/gold rims don’t work.

Ryan Preece No. 60 Kroger/Gevalia/Entenmann’s Ford

Following his flip last week, Ryan Preece is hoping to keep his focus with Kroger/Gevalia/Entenmann’s this week. Atlanta is another drafting, high-speed track. Let’s keep all the cars on four wheels.

RFK Racing snagged the Kroger deal from Hyak. These paint schemes so far have been really fun and this one is no different. 8.5/10.
