UniFirst leaks, deletes Chase Elliott 2025 NASCAR paint scheme

It is the NASCAR offseason but there are still things happening. Like UniFirst leaking Chase Elliott’s 2025 paint scheme a little early. The company posted about the scheme and then quickly deleted the post on their website.

The UniFirst car is going to have a different look next season, if the leaked post is correct. We will find out soon enough. But if it is true, then fans are going to have a new bold car to cheer for on Sundays.

UniFirst has taken the post down. However, the internet is forever. So, folks were able to snag images of the car before it got taken down. No more white space and looking as sterile as their previous designs.

Check out the bright and bold design Chase Elliott will drive next season. Post from u/flyshelfplays on Reddit:

Chase Elliott is taking his paint schemes in a similar direction. His NAPA scheme in 2024 was almost all-blue. Almost like Color Rush NFL uniforms but for NASCAR paint schemes.

I like the idea of taking that teal color and covering the entire car with it. These are the kinds of cars that pop on the track, day or night. Making your car easy to recognize in ads and on the track is so important for so many reasons.

Elliott fans are going to love this paint scheme. They love everything about Chase. But I can already see the merch from this car flying out of the hauler at races.

Chase Elliott remains Most Popular Driver in NASCAR

For the seventh year in a row, Chase Elliott is the Most Popular Driver in the NASCAR Cup Series. He is a star, even if unwilling at times. But is it hurting the sport to have the biggest name be so reluctant to embrace the spotlight?

Before stadiums were selling their naming rights to crypto websites and the NBA put little three-inch sponsors on their jerseys, NASCAR was the sellout sport, and proud of it. Race cars are the most exciting billboards that companies can buy. It was a pop culture joke how much corporate money was in the sport.

The stars of the past were everywhere. Commercials, movies, physical advertisements, and just about everything you could imagine. While a lot of that has changed due to the decrease in popularity for NASCAR in the last twenty years, some of it has to do with how the sport’s stars shy away from the spotlight.

Perhaps NASCAR drivers don’t move the needle for companies like they used to. But part of me thinks there has to be a willingness from those in the sport to make these things happen.
