Atlanta and the Ambetter Health 400 are next on the NASCAR schedule with great paint schemes throughout the field. We are now entering Week 2 of the season, and it feels great to be back, doesn’t it folks?

Since 2022, the new configuration at Atlanta Motor Speedway has produced some very exciting racing. It’s like a small superspeedway and for the Next Gen car, that’s been a great pairing.

Coming to Hotlanta for a beautiful weekend of weather, NASCAR is hoping to have a more efficient and on-schedule race day than Daytona. The forecast looks wonderful for the Ambetter Health 400, and these NASCAR Cup Series paint schemes look even better.

Josh Berry No. 4 Harrison’s Ford

Moving up to the Cup Series with Stewart-Haas Racing and Ford, Josh Berry is bringing Harrison’s along for the ride. The Western wear company knows a lot about style and aesthetics.

This green and white design with touches of that dark yellow, it’s great. The car looks clean, the color makes it stand out, and it’s an original sponsor for Berry in his new Dark Horse. 7.5/10.

Chase Elliott No. 9 Hooters Chevy

This is a car that looks better under the lights and on the track. Gone away are the neon blue accents, replaced with this silver or grey detailing.

Chase Elliott and the Hooters car – those are two things you love to see on a Sunday. The orange and black will always be one of the best NASCAR paint schemes. 8/10.

Ryan Blaney No. 12 BodyArmor Zero Sugar Ford

There are times when white paint schemes can look empty and boring. However, Ryan Blaney’s BodyArmor Zero Sugar design is really solid.

The grey on the bottom along with the big, red No. 12 really makes this all come together. BodyArmor made sure to use the door space, and all around, solid scheme for Atlanta and the Ambetter Health 400. 8/10.

Bubba Wallace No. 23 MoneyLion Toyota

In the last couple of seasons, MoneyLion has had some great paint schemes in NASCAR. This one might be their best yet, and I can’t wait to see it on the track.

If there was such thing as “Color Rush” in NASCAR, this Bubba Wallace scheme would fit the bill perfectly. Tons of teal and it’s rounded out with the black lettering, bonus points for the chrome outline on the number. 8.5/10.

William Byron No. 24 Raptor High Heat Chevy

William Byron just took Axalta to Victory Lane in the Daytona 500 with flames on the front of his car. Now, he has photorealistic flames coming off his hood for this Raptor High Heat design.

Byron and his stardom are about to rise. He won the last race at Atlanta in a rain-shortened event and will try to get back-to-back wins on drafting-style tracks to start the 2024 season. 7.5/10, not a big fan of the realistic flames.

John Hunter Nemechek No. 42 Family Dollar Toyota

Call me crazy, but there is nothing bout this Family Dollar Toyota that looks cheap. John Hunter Nemechek is going to have a great primary paint scheme this NASCAR season with this design.

A career-best finish of P7 to start the season was great news for Nemechek in his first year with Legacy Motor Club. Can he follow it up with a top-5 performance in Atlanta? 8.75/10 – favorite scheme of the week.

Tyler Reddick No. 45 Xfinity Mobile Toyota

I’m a simple man, I see a purple race car and I put it on my list. Well, most of the time. Xfinity Mobile is back with Tyler Reddick and delivering another purple paint scheme this NASCAR season.

The black on the back of this car takes away from the overall look to me. Reddick is going to have a ton of schemes on my lists this season, so we’ll let him have a pass on this one. Still a solid-looking car. 8/10.

Carson Hocevar No. 77 Premier Security Chevy

Now this is a unique look for Carson Hocevar. I wasn’t sure how this Premier Security scheme would look this year, but I’m very impressed.

Spire Motorsports is going to surprise a lot of people on the track with their performances and with their paint schemes this NASCAR season. Hocevar could be Rookie of the Year, but for now, his only accolade in the Cup Series is landing on this list so soon. 8.5/10.

Ambetter Health 400 NASCAR Paint Schemes

There are a lot of great looks in the NASCAR Cup Series this year. We are early in the season and teams have put a lot of effort into making their cars look great on the track. Drivers like having a fun car to drive, and they pay attention to how fans receive different paint schemes.
