When someone asks for your favorite paint scheme ran by your favorite driver: Denny Hamlin fan: *They all the same...* 😐

I’ll be honest, Hamlins primary is underrated

I was kinda surprised that I didn’t see the Busch Light Apple paint scheme in your Top 10. Still, the list looks great.

[@darthhull85]

That Apple scheme was 🔥

[@Jpilgrim30]

Yeah. That candy apple red Busch car was 🔥. Easily the best looking scheme all year in my eyes.

[@jermaineboyd6594]

I was just going to mention that..either he forgot to put kh' s Busch light apple or didint think it wouldt be honorable mention.

[@4_14_fan]

I think the best paint scheme was Harvick's Daytona rc scheme he must have forgotten it because he mentioned purple paint schemes at the end and last I checked it's got purple on it

[@carleighf1]

My favourites were: • Ryan Blaney - BodyAmour (Coke Zero 400) • Christopher Bell - Procore (Texas Playoff Race) • Jimmie Johnson - Darlington Throwback • Clint Bowyer - Darlington Throwback • Ricky Stenhouse Jr. - Kroger (Pink) • Denny Hamlin - FedEx • Joey Logano - Pennzoil • Kevin Harvick - Busch Light Apple

[@ethanhenrichs5677]

A number 1 birthday racecar balloon in 2007 or 08 is what got me interested in Nascar. And that's how I became a Truex fan and been one ever since.

[@nrgmobile48]

Eric picks a Jimmie scheme as his favorite: Me: Smashing the like button

[@briangriffinfamilyguyfan81]

My favorite NASCAR paint scheme of 2020 is probably Jimmie's Johnson's Ally throwback at Darlington

[@noahmielke2148]

Me two. I liked it so much I pre-ordered it.

[@JonathanGaeta]

@@noahmielke2148 I need to get that diecast hopefully soon, or when it comes out as a whole like on PlanBSales or eBay I’ll get it

I’m a little late but here’s how I got into NASCAR: My dad loved NASCAR and Jeff Gordon, and so in 2018 We went to the Championship race. He would occasionally put on the races, but I didn't truly get into NASCAR until this season. I half-heartedly rooted for Larson, but after his incident, I sent out to find a real favorite driver. On the first race back, I watched the roster and I found Bell. I didn’t know much about his career, just that he was a rookie, and he became my favorite. Christopher Bell really got me into NASCAR, and I can’t wait for his next season! I was so amazed when I found about Bell’s record for his rookie season in Xfinity...

[@bakerchapple4314]

I was a huge larson fan as well but then the incident, so i started watching truex jr.

[@whatincarnation95]

The fact that Johnson's Texas 48 wasn't on this is disappointing, but at least you gave him a win this season

[@countryofaustin]

That car wasn’t a top 10 scheme sorry carnation

[@DennyDeliversYT]

*I want my Noah Sweet on this list*

[@handsomedevil4928]

That car wasn’t bad, it was just kinda not great

[@linden6352]

@@countryofaustin Exactly, like good on the guy for managing to get it that far and I really respect him and all he's been through, but the scheme is just meh. I don't feel like the colors go with the lightning great and overall the normal one is more different looking (I mean different than other cars).

Wow Hendrick has some REALLY nice paint schemes every year. I don’t know how they continue to produce lovely cars every year. Bowman had some nice ones this year, the Ally cars were cool too, Elliott with that sweet black Hooters car, and Byron with pretty much all of his. Awesome job over at Hendrick with these paint schemes! 👏👏👏

[@sampetruso851]

[@ethanwatson1683]

“Your a nut if you thought I was gonna forget about planters” A quote from Eric Estepps video of when he went looking for all the nascar sponsors in his living area the Alex bowman paint scheme made me think of it

[@Nc3three]

It was a sponsor event. I got invited to the 2016 Daytona 500, and I had a great time. Ever since, I’ve had the races off every weekend

[@devinfrank2288]

Finally someone else who loved the Bowman Planter's. I couldn't keep my eye off of it

[@djuanboone4830]

Jimmie's silver Ally car and Kyle Busch's zombie car were 2 of my favorites from the season.

[@andreariggs2023]

It's time for that video I've been waiting for

[@voltracer9993]

surprised not to see harvick's Daytona road course car or his apple car on the list, but its a decent list in my opinion.

[@bennelson8222]

I absolutely love the chase Elliott hooters and Austin Dillon bass pro shops, I’m a big fan of black and orange.

[@MBDrums49]

0:05 I bought a nascar diecast when I was 5, and I got into the sport and started to watch it.

[@daveizdebski]

First I was a huge McQueen fan, and I loved the videogames. So my dad bought me NASCAR 2011 to step it up a notch, and eventually NASCAR Inside Line got me into the sport.

[@brandonaddington3195]

I might trigger some people, But I really liked Bubba Wallace's BLM Car. Very simple and clean design.

[@ngalifianakis6893]

Alex Bowman always has the best paint schemes. I hope that continues with him driving the 48 car

[@ronniewatkins]

My dad was on Dariel Deringer's pit crew in the 50s. I was watching Cale, Bobby, David and Richard in 1970.

[@need4speed5353]

I remember when I was little I was watching a night race (I forget which one) and when I saw Johnson's blue car, I immediately liked him

[@billstalkwithgavin]

My favorite was the 2015 Jimmie Johnson red, white, and blue one from Daytona

[@ADGHOU]

Started out on NASCAR Thunder 2003... The good ole days

[@pbn3344]

My dad has been following Nascar since the early 70’s and my older brother and I have just grown up around it we LOVE IT.

[@richall9654]

My late father-in-law, Ed, was a big fan, but I paid it little attention until I found myself in a Hooters for the very first time, (Indianapolis, 05 Apr 92), and I saw Alan Kulwicki winning at Bristol. I commented that you had to admire a guy in an orange and white car with Hooters written all over it. I've been a fan ever since.

[@AricAlmiroli]

WHERES MY SMITHFIELD PAINT SCHEME? 🥓

[@CMP_18]

I was born the same year as Cars, so I grew up with that movie. That was enough for 3 year old me to fall in love with the sport!

[@CreamTheDreamTeam]

Eric at the beginning: rule number 1. No throwback schemes Eric 10 minutes later in the video: I can’t even play by my own rules anymore

[@zastaroth669]

As a kid I was subjected to NASCAR a lot. My late grandpa was a huge Dale Earnhardt fan, my dad would watch races on most weekends, and I was given diecast pretty early on. As a kid my favorite schemes were Matt Kenseth's DeWalt and Jeff Gordon's DuPont Rainbow Warrior (even though he had switched to the flames by the time I was born).

[@rns.motorsports]

6:00 the number placement thing I think it looks good if you design the cars with that in mind

[@MusicandTractors]

Hands down the Blaney Bryant tribute was by far the best paint this year!

[@youtdan]

I’ve been waiting for this

[@AshtonG2022]

Me too.

[@notyourrealname75]

For me it was you. I watched your series and got interested

[@ucookinwithbutta956x]

My uncle was a big nascar fan (Earnhardt fan) through the late 80’s and 90’s. I remember the 98 Daytona 500 and how everyone was so excited. I was 7 and had no clue what had just happened but I was glued. That next year I started racing quarter midgets and developed an expensive hobby for life haha Since then I’ve always followed nascar. I liked the Bowman valvoline scheme and the old Busch paint scheme with the red number.

[@ethanwatson1683]

Me: hey mom I don’t have this Kyle Busch diecast car. Mom: Yes you do I’ve seen it on your display of nascar diecast it’s the number 18 Me: yes mom I have a Kyle Busch car not this paint scheme. Mom: WHAT!? how many paint schemes does he have? Me: mom go to the candy section of Walmart and you’ll see what I mean.

[@StrangerxDanger]

For me, it was the silver bullet. Sterling Marlin's early 2000s Coors Lite Dodges were AMAZING! I went with my dad when he bought a new Ram in 2001, and the salesman gave 9 year old me a high-quality diecast that I still have :)

[@trevorjohnson8993]

Here’s my story of how I got into nascar. I always loved the movie cars as a little kid, but in the summer of 2015, I turned on the TV. Nascar was on and I was immediately hooked from than till now. Been to 4 races at Dover and 3 races at Pocono and they have been some of the best experiences of my life.

[@fishproductions22]

I have to give credit to Harvick and Busch beer because they ran some banger schemes this year

[@chibby__]

He, banger, he he

[@handsomedevil4928]

Bangers and mash

[@davidscustomsgarage8354]

Seeing dale jrs Budweiser 8 car on tv was how i got in to nascar

[@tyman1014]

To address the question at the beginning of the video, yes I began to watch around 2002-2003 because my dad would have the race on every Sunday, and one Sunday I had nothing to do. So I decided to watch it with him, and realized that I enjoyed it very much. Ever since that day, I have only missed races because of family or work.

[@Vermonter8812]

i love dillons bass pro car. i also liked the all star scheme how they made that scheme work

[@derekprzesmicki9578]

I just saw the M&M car of Kyle Busch when I was 6 in 2008 and I've been a NASCAR fan ever since

[@EdibleGiraffe59]

I got introduced when I got NASCAR 2011 in 2012, mainly to crash and watch replays. NASCAR Heat 3 got me even more into NASCAR.

[@23lacross]

I started watching NASCAR as a young kid randomly when me and my sister switched channels onto a race and I was hooked at the paint schemes as well. I saw the blue deuce driven then in his first year in that car Kurt Busch and he’s been my driver ever since. Sucks I didn’t watch when he won his championship.

[@androgynypinku3010]

I got into Nascar because of the paint schemes, I fell in love with the rainbow scheme Jeff Gordan drove and became a fan because of it, I was starting to become a great artist at that time and I remember telling my grandfather what "colors" they were driving, my grandfather was a fan of Denny Hamlin, my parents were fans of Dale jr & Jimmie Johnson and I was a fan of Jeff Gordon until he retired and became a Hendrick motorsports fan, meaning becoming a fan of all four drivers.

[@AshtonG2022]

YES!!!!! I’ve been waiting for this. Hope you do the top 10 worst paint schemes.

[@caughtyouin4k674]

My favorite from underfunded teams was the #66 darlington

[@caughtyouin4k674]

Throwback

[@TheBreadman904]

18:01 wasn't Erik Jones's Irwin Tools scheme he ran one race purple?

[@Jpilgrim30]

I love that Busch light flag scheme but I also love the baby blue and the apple red Busch schemes. All of them equally great.

[@mattcardarelli]

Went to college in North Carolina- at parties on fridays and saturdays everyone would be huddled around a tv watching a truck or xfinity race. Quickly realized it was in their blood down there being so invested in the lower levels of NASCAR. Circa 2002 ish

[@iceeblueburst03]

The ones I like from your list are Erik Jones’ Dewalt car, Alex Bowman’s Planters Peanuts car, Matt Kenseth’s McDonalds All-Star car, Kevin Harvick’s patriotic Busch Light car, Chase Elliott’s Hooters car, Kyle Busch’s Interstate Batteries car, and Chris Buescher’s SunnyD car.

[@danielblock6876]

I think you was right about best paint scheme, even I had soured a little bit on Jimmie Johnson as a fan, but that last paint scheme as full time driver was spot on for best scheme for 2020.

[@huntarchivers1234]

I got into nascar from n2sc4r sad that he is not who I thought he was

[@aneeshvegi4894]

I got into NASCAR in 2013, turning on the tv to the Daytona 500. At the time the only driver I heard of was Danica Patrick. Over time I watched a few more races, and watching Kyle Busch win the Texas race under the lights with the White, Black, and Green Interstate Batteries car made me stick. I found a new favorite driver who had great talent, and amazing cars.

[@Desert_Ratt]

That 88 Valvoline should of been #1. It looks so clean and fresh

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

I am active military....USMC stationed in Washington DC. The fall of 2008 (The Chase). My son was interested in NASCAR at the time, but I’d never given it much attention before. Then an announcement at work....the USO had a block of tickets to Dover for free. So I thought my boys would enjoy the race. The seats were good too!! End zone and about 22 rows up...not too close, not too far....we could easily see the entire track. Well, I was hooked. Started following it week to week after that. Then came 2009 and Mark Martin’s resurgence with Rick Hendricks and ending in JJ’s 4th in a row. Still hooked despite the stupid playoff format. Really wishing NASCAR would back off and let ‘em race. And I’m a relative newcomer to the sport. I can’t imagine what older, more traditional fans would say.

[@IRN87]

I got introduced to nascar by my friends at school in third grade two years ago

[@appel199]

I was at the Pepsi 400 in 1998 when Jeff Gordon ran a chromalusion paint scheme. Every time he came flying by under the lights the car would change to all different colors. Amazing.

[@creeper4481]

I got introduced to NASCAR when I first saw the #29 Shell car win at the Daytona 500 in 2007, eventually I found out that the car was driven by a man named Kevin Harvick, and I've been a fan ever since.

[@kevinritchie9227]

That Kenseth Sawblade 2003 paint scheme. LOVED it.

[@jonathangreen3775]

I can't be the only one wanting more clips of Eric aimlessly wandering the woods.

[@cpMetis]

I kinda wish that Nascar would codify the "silver = final race/retiring" idea. It's such a rarely used colour so we wouldn't be taking much from other schemes, and it would be an awesome final rite of passage for drivers. Or at least have the teams come together to make it a thin.

[@Possibly_A_Drummer]

I was camping and my dad was watching the 2020 Richmond playoff race. I saw Kurts monster scheme and he's been one of my favorite drivers since, at least until he retired :(

[@nickluby2183]

My favorite scheme was the william Byron sea glass scheme he ran at Daytona, under the lights that car was fire

[@Drewster327]

Honestly I loved seeing a black #3 in victory lane again

[@caidenbrennan6541]

bowman had some great paint schemes this year tbh. the patriotic noco scheme is beautiful, love the cincinnati scheme, the planters is really nice, all the valvoline schemes, and the acronis ones are really nice too
