NASCAR Paint Schemes of the Week: Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte

There is nothing like Memorial Day Weekend when it comes to racing. The Coca-Cola 600 is going to be a big part of that. NASCAR, IndyCar, F1 – all with major races on Sunday. The cars will be looking a little more patriotic in Charlotte, though.

Last year Ryan Blaney won the 600 in a badass Body Armor paint scheme. It was a camo design that really popped and especially looked great in Victory Lane. Teams are upping the patriotism and there is plenty of camo as well as red, white, and blue.

Are we going to see another great paint scheme cross the finish line P1? Will the intermediate track deliver another epic finish like we saw at Atlanta and Kansas?

Ross Chastain No. 1 Jockey, Folds of Honor Chevy

Ross Chastain is hitting the track in this Memorial Day paint scheme. It’s a great look from Jockey and adding Folds of Honor is more than appropriate this weekend.

Things haven’t gone great for Chastain this season. Charlotte gives him a chance to bounce back. 8/10.

Kyle Larson No. 5 HendrickCars.com H1100 Chevy

I keep checking the weather in Indianapolis because I want the Double to happen more than anything. Kyle Larson isn’t usually on this list, but this H1100 car is too perfect.

Larson has a huge weekend ahead of him. I just hope he gets 1100 miles completed in one single day. Both of his cars look amazing. 9/10.

Corey LaJoie No. 7 Chili’s Chevy

Chili’s is BACK! Once again, the restaurant chain is back on the No. 7 of Corey LaJoie. The two partnered back in Daytona for a single race. They are back for the Coca-Cola 600.

This isn’t the last time we will see the paint scheme. Chili’s signed up for a few more races this year, so if you like this car, you’re in luck. 8/10.

Chase Elliott No. 9 NAPA Patriotic Chevy

This is the driver Kevin Harvick picked to win the Coca-Cola 600. Chase Elliott is hitting the track in this black camo NAPA Chevy.

It’s a badass-looking car and should be a fast one, too. Elliott won a Charlotte race in 2020 on the oval, but it was not the 600. Can he finally do it this year? 9/10.

Denny Hamlin No. 11 Mavis Tire Toyota

Another Mavis Tire Toyota. A great partner, and really, Denny Hamlin’s main sponsor now. These two have grown close, quickly.

This all-teal design is the best one they have put out. It’s a great-looking car and could very well end up in Victory Lane on Sunday. 8.5/10.

Harrison Burton No. 21 Dex Imaging Ford

How about Harrison Burton back on this list? He has had a few strong paint schemes this season, he just doesn’t have the results to back it up.

In his third season in the Cup Series, I’m not sure what else Burton can do. At least his car looks patriotic and ready for the Coca-Cola 600. 8/10.

Michael McDowell No. 34 Walmart/RTIC Ford

This is a partnership that surprised me as well. Michael McDowell lands Walmart and RTIC on his car for this weekend. A strong paint scheme.

The Walmart blue with the Memorial Day accents really go well together. There is just something pleasing about looking at the paint scheme. 8.5/10.

Todd Gilliland No. 38 Quincy Compressor Ford

Folks, as soon as I saw this tiny warthog on Todd Gilliland’s car I knew it would be on this list. What a fun paint scheme and company mascot to have on the car.

A red white and blue scheme that I think flows very well. Gilliland has been showing speed this season and could be a good underdog top-10 for Sunday. 8.5/10.
