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

[@briangriffinfamilyguyfan81]

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

[@kaym4259]

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.

[@MagnusOpite34]

That Chase Elliott hooters scheme is my favorite

[@bradykauffman9442]

Eric in a few years: "But first I would like to introduce my sponsors today Walmart, Lowe's, McDonald's, Kroger, and Ford."

[@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).

[@dhracing1980]

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! 👏👏👏

[@TiringTire]

Part of my childhood was dying Yep it did, thank you JJ

[@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.

“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

Both Jimmie and Jeff had Silver cars for their final races which both were done well. Same here a part of my childhood dieing with Jimmie riding off into the sunset, well the last few years starting with Gordon in 15' and then Steward and Kenseth and eventually Johnson this year.

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

[@billstalkwithgavin]

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

[@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.

[@Vermonter1245]

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

[@TheTfain2000]

Those are some really good schemes. One of my faves not on the list is Martin Truex's SiriusXM Martinsville win. The dark blue and black looked awesome under the lights

[@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).

[@quahzhianzhen379]

I love all the paint schemes in the top 10 Honourable mentions deserve more coverage though that’s good stuff there tooo

[@nrgmobile48]

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@BryanS6949]

Big Fan of your Nascar Cup Series, Truck and Xfinity Series plus All racing news

[@austindeluca493]

i was literally wondering when this video would come out yesterday

[@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.

[@Pringleson]

All the 2007 paint schemes (specifically the bud number 8) got me into nascar, haven’t looked back since

[@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

[@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

[@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

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

[@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.

[@WDBRnetwork]

I'm glad we agree on the number 1

[@ronniewatkins]

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

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@mandude03VideosYT]

agreed strongly with the list, a lot of these cars were gorgeous

[@kevinritchie9227]

That Kenseth Sawblade 2003 paint scheme. LOVED it.

[@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

[@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.

[@justinaskins2156]

My dad was a Dale Sr fan and I watched with him so became a Jr fan. Actually initially became a Chase Elliott fan because a buddy of mine owns a few napa stores

[@TheMIGHTparanormal]

1996 talladega when craven flipped into the fence was the first cup race I watched. I didn’t start watching consistently until 1997. My all time favorite car was rusty Wallace’s black and gold MGD. That car still whenever I walk by my diecast of it just...it still kicks ass. Then they changed it to that white and blue POS and everything was ruined lol.

[@thatguy-rs4iz]

What got me into nascar was watching the nascar modified series back when they used to run lake Erie speedway when I was a kid. Where as my favorite paint scheme I gotta say chase elliotts hooters paint scheme

[@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.

[@JacobNascar]

2 things: What got me into nascar? Ever since I can remember, I had this Jeff Gordon wooden toy box and I had several tiny nascar diecasts. Went to my first race at Dega in 2005 and that did it for me. I've been hooked ever since. Btw I was only like 9 when I went to Dega. Also a good purple scheme would be a purple base denny Hamlin car. Black trim and FedEx orange stripes. Maybe white 11 with purple outline?

[@mccannmotorsports3858]

I liked that Austin Dillon scheme because it reminded me of Dale Earnhardt it looked nice dont blame you for putting it high on the list

[@josephstarke9756]

I know its a 20 year old car but the 2000 Sterling Marlin Coors car is my all time favorite. That was a sexy beast of a car. Been a fan of Ganassi/Sabates team ever since. I mean heck, thanks to Chip Ganassi, I am now a fan of IndyCar racing now too. My first Nascar race on tv was the 2000 New Hampshire race with the restrictor plate race. I loved the McDonalds Matt K. sceme from the all star race. To me, the black 42 popped out and looked awesome.

[@ThatOneCappybara]

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 :(

[@mikeoleksa]

I got into watching because of my Dad a LOOOOOOONG time ago. For reference, I saw the 1979 Daytona 500 live. I just replaced the 1998 Gordon Chromalusion car that he literally ran out of gas in The Winston that year. LOVE that chameleon paint job and definitely one of my favorites! Harvick and Hamlin have had some good ones more recently. Harvick and the Yarborough car and Hamlin with the Waltrip car a couple that I ended up buying diecasts of. EDIT: I almost forgot the Dale Jr. Gray Ghost throwback to Buddy Baker. THAT one is my recent favorite and own an Elite diecast of.

[@christanknight1497]

William byron got me into nascar. I saw him at the pole on daytona and thats why I started to watch nascar.

[@BREEZY.67]

I first got into nascar because of cars but then i took a 5 year brake and came back this season cause i wanted something to watch during quarantine and man that was the best decision of my life

[@ACREracingleaguextra]

I got interested because my dad watched it and I looked at the tv a lot and I was into hot wheels so it was a perfect storm for me into NASCAR and I haven’t looked back since. Yes!!! Jimmie is my favorite driver still racing so seeing him in number one on the list this is awesome what a way to go out Jimmie we will miss you on Sundays. Just not as much as Jeff Gordon

[@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.

[@Bload72productions]

Bass Pro shops always has a good scheme, and it's impressive because they run a different scheme each year.

[@hockeyfan1988]

Watching races and dirt to daytona got me to fall in love with it.

[@GymnastAJ]

The paint scheme that spoke to me most was Tony Stewart’s #20 orange Home Depot car.🧡

[@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.

[@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.

[@alexburanen7382]

My dad would always watch it, me and my brother would always play with our nascar cars on a track we made in our room and in 2003 Ryan Newman crashed I remember that very distinctly. I was born in 1999

[@larryouellette759]

I became interested and followed Nascar in the mid 60s we got high lights of past races on Wide World of Sports with Jim McKay

[@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!

[@ScruffyJrplayzmc]

When I started on iRacing realized I was horrible at road racing gave oval a try and loved it so I started watching. First race was the 2018 championship race at homestead and I saw Larson run the high line and I was hooked.

[@nicholasfriesen5031]

I got into nascar in a very unconventional way, my dad was a huge Matt Kenseth fan so because I was little I was too he took me to the Daytona 500 and I was terrified of all the noises. So I hated nascar until around 6 years ago when my dad took me to Talledega, and I loved it and that’s why I like nascar and nice to see another big Kenseth fan.

[@the11fan33]

Well as a Hamlin fan I’m happy to report that at least he won in a car not with the primary scheme! That darlington throwback is criminally underrated!

[@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.

[@nickluby2183]

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

[@metabagels6815]

My friend and I were typing random numbers into the TV remote and we landed on the spring Richmond race in 2016 when Edwards dumped KB on the final corner. I’ve watched every single race since

[@potatodude2804]

I got introduced to nascar by a matchbox car of Jeff Gordon’s DuPont flames gen 4 car, then when I got home it happened to be Sunday martinsville race and o remember looking for that blue and red car, still have that little matchbox car to this day

[@Charger_84]

I got into nascar when i first went to Dover because my dad was a good friend of the number 88 in the Busch series

[@linden6352]

My ranking of these 1. Erik Jones Dewalt - Put this at the top by default from the start, and man I haven't found anything I like better. It's the perfect combination IMO, and if not the best definitely the best that was run more than a few times. Of all his schemes this year there isn't one I wouldn't put up high in this list. 2. Chris Buescher Sunny D - Still pops, still looks great, still has great theming. It's the SunnyD car. 3. Chase Elliott Hooters (Dark) - I agree that when first shown I didn't like it at all, but that matte black with the dayglo orange is one of the best combinations on a racecar. 4. Alex Bowman Planters - Simple but great looking. Sorta reminds me of a well-done throwback car. 5. Austin Dillon Bass Pro Shops - Pretty good, no real complaints but just other things that I like better. 6. Jimmie Johnson Ally (Silver/Final Ride) - Pretty good, but I feel like the contrast between the silver and purple/black just wasn't there, it didn't pop enough. I don't really know why, I just don't love it. 7. Kevin Harvick Busch (4th Of July) - Again pretty good, I feel like it has a bit too much going on and I also don't love the eagle. It is the most American thing you'll ever see though. 8. Matt Kenseth McDonalds (All-Star) - Way too much white, and I still don't love the arches going off the car. It's fine on some schemes but looks pretty bad on this. I do like the way they incorporated the set-back number though. 9. Kyle Busch Interstate Batteries - Looks cheesy, the smaller sponsor logos in solid colors on it (like M&Ms) are really annoying, why are there two Interstate logos on the hood. 10. Brad Keselowski Discount Tire - It'd be... fine... But the grey fading above the red line irrationally drives me nuts for endless reasons. Get rid of that and it might be like a 8 but with that it's a definite no.
