This weekend the NASCAR Cup Series heads to New Hampshire Motor Speedway for a very colorful Crayon 301. No, it isn’t Crayola crayons, but Crayon, a tech company of sorts. The Magic Mile is going to have some very fun paint schemes on the track. While there are some solid schemes throughout the field, most of this week’s top-5 come from the same manufacturer.

Maybe it is a good sign for the Fords that they have the best-looking cars in the northeast. The Draft Kings cars from 23XI were fun but not better than these Mustangs on the list. Chevy brought a lot of their regular schemes this week. So, we’ve got four blue ovals in our top-5.

This week’s race is going to be a lot of fun. New Hampshire just has a way of producing great races. It also has seen some great paint schemes in its day. It would be awesome to see one of these great looks in Victory Lane on Sunday.

Top-5 Crayon 301 paint schemes

Austin Cindric – Autotrader Ford
This week the No. 2 is bringing it with this orange Autotrader scheme. The look is great on the Team Penske cars and this version stands out among the field this weekend. Cindric is coming off a P12 finish at Atlanta and will look to improve upon his P13 finish in last year’s Crayon (Ambetter) 301. He lost a wheel in that race that set him back from a better finish.

Denny Hamlin Mavis Tires & Brakes Toyota
This week, the No. 11 has a brand new look. It is another alternate scheme for Hamlin and we will see this look five times in total. The Mavis Tires & Brakes No. 11 is going to be noticeable at New Hampshire. Can Hamlin get his fourth win at the Magic Mile this weekend?

Chase Briscoe Mobil 1 Gen G Ford

Mobil 1 is usually sticking to the white, blue and red looks they serve week in and out across the world in racing series everywhere. However, the Mobil 1 Gen G Esports collab looks awesome. Black and gold with just a sponsor that represents the history of motorsports, and the future of it with esports. Briscoe might have his best look of the year with this Crayon 301 car.

Ryan Newman Parts Plus Ford
The Rocket Man is back! With another short track comes another Ryan Newman start. Rick Ware Racing has put together an excellent design with week with Parts Plus. Black car with some bright colors on it, this is going to be a fun one this week.

Todd Gilliland A&W Root Beer Float Ford
While I’m sure there will be those out there that think the 23XI or Trackhouse Racing designs deserved to make the list, I just wasn’t moved by them. What I am moved by is a Gilliland in an A&W car. That’s why this car makes the top-5 list for the Crayon 301 and because it looks great. P25 last season, maybe Todd can turn things around this time through.
