Every NASCAR Throwback Paint Scheme RANKED | 2024 Edition

[@Murstruck2.0electricboogaloo]

I swear someone needs to tell kyle busch that throwing back to a scheme 3 weeks ago 2 times in a row is NOT a throwback.

[@vermillon5243]

Hard to do a good 8 throwback with Lady Earnhardt owning the trademark

[@Murstruck2.0electricboogaloo]

@@vermillon5243 fr can't do anything with the wicked witch of the south

[@dominiccarranza2184]

Look. Don't yell at Kyle for something he can't control.

[@AAA__]

Having Zone as the sponsor limits what they can do. If they had a different sponsor for this race maybe they would have done one.

[@MichaelWilliams-vb6wr]

He could of throwback to Himself like MTJ did

[@votekyle3000]

4:40 if you played Gran Turismo in the 90s that Supra was a MONSTER

[@Seeker57]

Yeah it was no joke

[@tvann]

I get the supra, but seeing a boomer fan of Nascar, I'm not a fan.. But give me that 5 car all day!

[@ImTheMilkMan65]

Dude, I had the Corvette c5.r and that damned supra was my only competition

[@Gator49er88]

That supra was annnnnoying could only beat it with nsx and Corvette c5r

[@sdx3918]

The Pratt & Miller Corvette C5.R and the TOMs Supra GT500 were like two sides of one coin in old school Gran Turismo.

[@nothinghere7391]

That Castrol throwback had HUGE significance. It could bring many JGTC/Super GT (in which it was very successful), fans to watch the race, possibly bringing in overseas viewers. It's a videogame legend from Gran Turismo and SEGA Rally. This Castrol swoosh design is one of the most iconic liveries in all of motorsports, from various disciplines. I'd give it a 8 in significance and possibly 9 in nostalgia.

[@truckercowboyed2638]

I just wish they could put the Toms logo somehow to make it completely a throwback...but I do like they put RFK in the same font style

[@TheCloudCreation]

Regarding Brad's Castrol scheme, I think you gotta pump up the significance score because anyone that has every played a Forza, Gran Turismo, and any of the other racing arcade/sim games knows this paint scheme. It's an all time CLASSIC. Even today, if you hop on any online race in one of the big racing sim/ arcade games, you are practically guaranteed to see a Supra running this scheme in your racing lobbies.

[@Itsgamingtime11YT]

The Hendrick cars are The best, The Kelloggs car, Jimmy Johnson throwback, The Dale Earnhardt Jr throwback, and the 2009 Jeff Gordon throwback! Those are some of the best

[@MichaelWilliams-vb6wr]

💯 TRUTH

[@MegaMr46]

But can’t deny Kyle Larson’s paint scheme being the best because he’s gonna do it for Turry!

Chase Elliott's Hooters paint scheme

[@irvingboy1122]

My favorite throwback this year is definitely that Terry Labonte scheme I think that definitely wins throwback weekend this year

Terry Labonte throwback is my favorite

[@bobbyblair8478]

that red and white 71 is iconic Bobby Isaac won the 1970 Cup Series title with that there's even a NASCAR game based off that season

[@thomasredden4263]

My little brother was actually named after Adrian Fernandez, my dad was an enormous Indycar fan all the way to the day he died, so it really warmed my heart to see that scheme being run this weekend, definitely the most personal to me of any they have ever run and it’ll be cool to see on Sunday

[@jmcmotorsportstv]

I love that Ambrose throwback. That Watkins Glen race with BK, Busch and Ambrose was a classic

[@1989worms1]

My favourite is the Castrol one because it's a great tribute to my favourite Gran Turismo car.

[@RaynShikama]

The Xfinity throw backs were so good I’d love to see a video for those! The 42, 43, 44, and 97 especially stuck out to me. But the 00, 4, 15, 18, 29, 31 were all bangers too

[@PalmettoMedia01]

My favorite is the Josh Berry one, glad to see Rodney being appreciated

[@adrianpragiwaksana4245]

Hendrick's livery is so tasty. However, my take for best throwback livery has to be Keselowski's Castrol livery. So so good, especially from Gran Turismo/JGTC era

[@RyanMcclurg-NavyVet]

The five car wins hands-down. Not even close to any of the other ones in my opinion.

[@Gator49er88]

Man Larson my favorite driver repping my childhood favorite terry labontes livery... He better win his second championship this year this is too perfect.

[@aaronmachado13]

I love tricon throwing it back to Tanner Gray NHRA car. It actually translates so good to the truck

[@youngmoney2122]

Hendrick Won Throwback Weekend 100%

[@stewcullom5259]

I don’t know why they can’t put the number in the center of the door for the throwback only

Because it's NASCAR and that would make sense 😅

[@mr.obvious1000]

I look forward to this video every year! Let’s go!

[@jmcmotorsportstv]

Wow BK,s Toms Supra throwback is GranTurismo nostalgia gold. Absolutely beautiful hands down the best car out there.

[@stevereed8786]

Wow! Not one word about the best looking and by far one of the most famous drivers comes from Deegan. Check it out. Her team nailed it.

[@mattcardarelli]

What never gets old? Eric talking paint schemes. The #45 is so clean!

[@III-jj8qk]

I like the Gilliland one best, best looking Darkhorse so far, and looks so much like a late model, I liked the ones who threw back to short track cars like Berry, Briscoe, Preece. Also the Retzlaff one is great, love sneaking in the tobacco schemes.

[@moontainbew5018]

finally someone agrees with me TODD GILLILAND i love how it has that blowing look on the numbers just everyone always wants same old Dale Sr Matt Kenseth, to me its not just always same old same old Todds just looks very unique tho there is alot of other good ones not only is Todd my fav so a biased there and John Hunter tied favs now adays but to me his just a little stands out. The others sorta been there done that in a sense.

[@Shay_Mendez]

[@jmichaelhpaul]

Mad about Penske, but they do have other things to deal with. Love the Xfinity and Trucks joining in. Great job.

[@wildkidyay]

The #71 suprised me because I’d never heard of Dave Marcus. That scheme always makes me think of Bobby Isaac’s #71 Dodge Daytona

[@easyenetwork2023]

The Bass Pro number being different matters. If it is same number and car wrap, please make the number match too.

[@anthonypray7928]

I like the Martin Truex throwback even though it is only 8 years old it signifies his championship season .

[@noahmielke2148]

I swear that every time I see that Daniel Suarez throwback with that green car and that skinny white number font. My mind immediately goes to chick hicks from Disney Pixar cars.

[@BradleyFunkhouser-qt4fc]

I think the Castrol and kelllogs paint scheme are the best watched Nascar years and years most memorable

[@cookedbacon24]

Honestly, I'm waiting for the day that the 24 brings back the one scheme they ran in the 2000 Winston All-star event, I can't remember the exact name, like "the complete rainbow" 9r something along those lines. That would be sick. Also, maybe a throwback to Jerry Nadeau's first win in 2000, that white and blue Micheal Holigan's car.

[@HDFXSB645]

I hope next year Kyle Busch runs a particular blue and yellow #8 car. Dale Sr. ran his first Cup race in 1975 driving the #8 for Ed Negre. It would be a cool 50th anniversary celebration

[@DewkChronic]

the 9 could have added 1 detail that people would freak out about have the debris painted on the nose, the debris he picked up on the grill at the end of that race.

Favorite is the SVG, Marcos Ambrose throwback , But as a Kiwi I may be super biased 🙂

[@Kenadams240]

That 15 is 🔥

[@N9IBZED]

I think that #71 scheme is something recognizable I seem to remember Dave Marcus running that color combo quite a bit plus another driver from back in the early 70s also ran a #71 with those colors as well but I could be mistaken and I love what Trackhouse did with that #⁹⁹ for Suarez and of course the Hendrick Kellogg throwback is a home run as well

[@DepravedCoTApologist]

While it's disappointing that it seems more teams have stopped trying for throwback weekend, the ones who do still care are putting out some bangers. McDowell's is the only one you could call a bad throwback this year (Maybe Lajoie's too). And the Xfinity Series seems to nail it every year. We got a great crop this year

[@SpeedMcKraken-nh7qx]

Carson Horevar’s paint scheme is fire 🔥

The Larson 5 car is by far the best imo. They managed to make it almost look like the door number isn’t slid forward. If they were able to get Kellogg’s on board it would be all 10’s

[@Eagleracer38x]

Well the Dave Marcis one it the most recognized scheme he ran, and it's Dodge 60's and early 70's time period. But, he ran many paint schemes over the years. I watch far more racing, especially international series, like World Endurance, Super GT and F1, so I see the TOM's Castrol to be an icon and very nostalgic.

[@stevemansfield3449]

I "think" the color on the Lee Petty 42 card is "Packard Ivory" a very off white color. It looks like they used the correct color on the door number.
