Gordon's rainbow scheme

[@TheSuperSquad]

Some honorable mentions I would add would be Tony Stewart's Home Depot Schemes and Jimmie Johnson's Lowe's Schemes from the 2002-2009, you see lots of people who don't even watch NASCAR wearing Jackets/Shirts from the years those schemes ran, especially Stewart's Edit: You can also possibly throw in a few of Rusty Wallace's #2 Miller Light Schemes

[@Kerndog04]

Why is no one saying the silver bullet!?

[@skaldlouiscyphre2453]

God yes, the orange Tony Stewart car was one of the few I was aware of even when I had barely any interest in motorsports and zero in stock cars. It, the rainbow #24 and the black #3 might be about the first three casuals in that era would have known. Maybe add the Bud #8 and Jimmie Johnson if they've paid at least a few minutes attention, but those first three would almost be the defaults.

[@DixytheGoat9]

Not that I disagree with your list because I don't. But I would like to give a few honorable mentions the Texaco Havoline 28 car, Ford Quality Care Ford Credit 88 car, and the Miller Genuine Draft 2 car.

[@christianwitte9208]

Johnson’ Lowe’s paint scheme from 2002-20009 was always recognizable for me as a kid. Every time I went to Lowe’s I saw the banner above the door with the car on it and I knew who that was. I knew nothing about NASCAR at the time but I knew that paint scheme.

[@austinfletchermusic]

I'm really surprised the Lowe's 48 isn't on here at all. It's not the MOST iconic, but it's highly recognizable and very successful.

[@Twinspinner]

Maybe it didn't make sense to put it on here because of the fact that is changed little by little every year. By the time Johnson and Lowe's parted, the car looked nothing like it did in 2002.

[@lenninho5113]

[@danielfoster3642]

@@JimmyDean59 I was a Tony Stewart fan when he drove that orange Home Depot car. So that really became a paint scheme to remember. I don't like that he was replaced by Joey Logano, an inexperienced driver when he drove for Gibbs. Honestly, I would have liked Logano if he had waited his time in the Xfinity Series for another year or two. But he was rushed too quickly because of Tony Stewart leaving Gibbs. He has gotten better since he went to Penske, though.

Not successful, but Kyle Petty's old Hot Wheels ride from 97 to 2000 is iconic as hell. Any kid that grew up in the late 90s loved the paint scheme. I know I did. Hell, pretty much all of Kyle's rides wore some iconic paint schemes.

[@redflashpontiac]

That Dale Earnhardt scheme has 2 throw backs and 1 imitation that I know of. I think Jr ran a throwback scheme on the 8 car at Talladega in 2006. It was thrown back to again this year in the xfinity series at Talladega by Jeffrey Earnhardt. The imitation was when Kyle Petty painted his car like the 3 when he had a dispute with NASCAR about how Earnhardt raced him (I'm pretty sure you did a video on that one)

[@johnny5plays]

Reddick also threw back to the black 8 car that dale ran last year

[@nascarfan05]

And Josh Reume ran a throwback to it at Darlington this year

[@spenceroneil4747]

Reddick did a throwback as well and AD3 has a scheme that is very inspired by it. Just look at the car he won Texas in

[@Isaac_Arango]

And Jimmie Johnson also threw back to that scheme in 2020. It was a Throwback to Dale Earnhardt, Richard Petty and I also think himself.

[@Mizzoulord13]

Great list. My favorites are the two Jeff Gordon paint schemes as well as the The Intimidator. But I also love the paint scheme that Jimmie Johnson had for Darlington when he combined the paint schemes of Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt.

[@doctormodder]

You kidding? That scheme was a disaster. Anything Ally related to Jimmie Johnson is an absolute garbage scheme in my eyes. As far as I was concerned. Johnson retired in 2018 and that "Passing of the torch" thing from 2 years ago can go kiss my ass. Literally any current Hendrick Driver is more likeable, better performing, and less of a plot armored cheater than Mickey Elliott

[@LionManatic]

I know that Jimmie didn't throwback to only that specific car. But, if you want to be technical, Jimmie Johnson, is who I believe is the only one to have thrown back to the classic Black #3 as accurate as he can. Not using other colors as substitute, but using the exact colors! Of course, he had Petty's scheme on top. But, still paid tribute to it! I highly agree with this list, but as a Jimmie fan, I can never get over Jimmie's Lowe's scheme from like 06-08! With the yellow curve on the side, it looked so good! The blue just pops on the hood, such a good and beautiful paint scheme!

[@nascarfan05]

Actually last year at Texas Tyler Reddick ran a throwback to Earnhardt’s #3 and this year Josh Reume did a throwback to it as well.

That Petty 43 will always be the most iconic to me, but beyond that I agree with the rest with Dale Sr at #2 and Rainbow Warrior at #3

[@13Mizzou]

Some great ones I remember, the 4 Kodak, Quality Care 88, DeWalt 17, Home Depot 20, Lowe's 48, Havoline/Texaco 28, Kellogg's 5, and Miller Genuine Draft 2

[@RetroCarsForever]

I would add the MELLO YELLOW Kyle Petty/Days of Thunder paint scheme to this list!

[@briangriffinfamilyguyfan81]

This is going to be a very fun video to watch!

[@4b131]

Tide ride run by Ricky Rudd was my favorite. Also the Texaco Yates 28 and Mark Martin's Valvoline 6 were both clean designs.

[@johnvandeventer8668]

I wouldn’t make a list because there are a lot of paint schemes I love

[@tnwhiskey68]

The ones I see the most in random places are the 3, 43, 24, Coors car, Miller Cars (MGD and Lite), Valvoline 6, 42 Mello Yello car, black 28 and the 5 Corn flakes car.

[@paulmatthews463]

Bobby Allison's red and gold coca cola paint scheme deserves a spot over several others that were mentioned

[@DevontaTravis]

White #3, red outline with black background The Intimidator, The Kings STP paint scheme, Jrs Budweiser chevy, Jimmie Lowes scheme. The Blue duece, JG Rainbow & flames logo. Mark Martin Valvoline scheme. Tony Stewart Home Depot and 2 that are underrated are Green Bobby Labonte Interstate Batteries car & KB M&M scheme.

[@Jayhawk223]

The black #3 and the red #8. Two most iconic for me.

[@Rad0905]

Agree with everything. But I’d maybe switch out the grey ghost for the Blue Deuce or the matte black monster scheme

[@jduke93]

Love this video, it’s a shame the brightness and also knowing exactly who’s car it is when you turned on a race just isn’t there anymore with these newer cars and paint schemes

[@packisbetter90]

Only a couple usually stands out like Kurt's Monster Logo or Loganos

[@LRKarts33]

A lot of people out here forgetting how iconic the clam shell Pennzoil 22 is no matter who drove it

[@danielfoster3642]

Yeah, even though I'm not a Kurt Busch or a Joey Logano fan, I do love the paint scheme that car.

[@jasonreed3524]

Love The #9 Coors, #12 Mobile 1, & for sentimental reasons the Rob Moroso Crown Gasoline car since it was the first Cup car I ever saw in person at a Crown Gas station that has since been long gone.

[@SharpeRacing]

I was a Jeff Gordon fan at first because of the flaming DuPont scheme, but stayed a fan because of the legacy I learned of him and seeing him finish his career strongly. that's more than I could've asked for from the 4 time champ.

[@emili0r3y46]

as a kid i had jeff gordon’s flaming 24 in hot wheels form. i didn’t watch nascar and never really had an interest in the sport. but damn i loved that toy car. i wish i could have witnessed it in real time.

[@davelikesbacon]

Dale Earnhardt jr, Martin Truex and Paul Menard all ran the Dale Earnhardt paint Scheme at Talladega in 2006 I believe. Martin Truex won with it in the Busch series. I think some other recognizable paint schemes would be the Wrangler jeans machine ran by both Ricky Rudd and Dale Earnhardt in the '80s, Labonte's Kellogg's paint Scheme from the mid-90s, Interstate Batteries, the Valvoline paint schemes Mark Martin ran, the 28 Havoline, 88 Ford credit, the Home Depot paint scheme and so on. To be honest there's too many to list for a top 10. Personally though I wouldn't have added the gray ghost. It's not extremely iconic in my opinion although it is a great paint scheme.

[@TGUProductions]

In my opinion, these are some honorable mentions Furniture Row 78 (2016-2017, Truex Jr) McDonald’s 1 (2015, Mcmurray) Home Depot 20 (2001, Tony Stewart) Mountain Dew 88 (2014, Dale Jr) UPS 88 (Dale Jarrett) Auto Owners Insurance 78 (2016-2018, Truex Jr) And finally, Tide (in general)

[@brianhiedemansr2936]

The 20 Orange Home Depot . The 48 Lowes. the 15 Menards. All of the Michael Waltrip NAPA sponsored cars, and the Number 1 Bass Pro Shops car and Martin Truex’s Furniture Row cars.

[@Mister_Matt_X]

The Fabulous Hudson Hornet is the greatest paint scheme in early days of NASCAR and the Hudson Hornet crushed competition with Marshall Teague and Herb Thomas... I created a Pinewood Derby car replica almost similar to the Doc design when I was in Cub Scouts and I came in first place 4 times in a row from Wolf to Webelos 2 each year and got a trophy for the best car design when I got first place in Cub Scouts as a rank of Wolf... I raced that car I made until around 2012ish helping the Cub Scouts with the pinewood derby races and of course I wanted to use it again for the open class races but for a “Last Ride” tour to show the younger scouts what I designed back in the day I didn’t win the open class because they thought I “kept winning too much” which seems fair or maybe there was a better car being more faster... I still have both the car and the trophies with a few pictures here and there in a scrapbook filled with Cub Scout memories and adventures...

[@chrisguardiano6143]

When it comes to just NASCAR, the most iconic in my view is the black #3 of Dale Sr along with the #43 STP scheme that Richard Petty ran for years. Now when it comes to motorsports in general the top 5 most iconic in my view are the late 80's-90's Marlboro scheme Ayton Senna ran and won 3 world titles (& later used by Penske in CART/IRL), the Target scheme Chip Ganassi ran in CART from the mid 90's-2000, the Scuderia Ferrari red that Ferrari continue to use, Subaru's blue & yellow combo they ran in the WRC from 1993-2008 & #1 the Rothmans Williams scheme that Damon Hill & Jaques Villeneuve won back to back world titles in 1996 & 1997 which is the first racing car I saw as a 2 year old kid watching F1 for the first time back in 1997.

[@pooch7245]

For me some other iconic ones are the #9 Dodge driven by Bill Elliott, but most famously Kasey Kahne, and the Coors Silver Bullet. I'd also argue maybe the mid 2000s Jimmie Johnson Lowes scheme with the grey, blue, and yellow number.

[@skyewarren79]

I think what even sets the 3 apart more is the impact that scheme and the legacy it has had. Daniel Ricardo of f1 races with the number 3 because of Dale, and we’ve seen multiple times Danny Ric race with Dale inspired black helmets.

[@gothard5]

Ricciardo

[@matiasguisado4496]

Honorable mentions: Fedex car 2005-now, lowe's car 2002-2011, The home depot of Stewart, interestate batteries car, bass pro shaps car and maybe mc'donalds car trough the years.

[@johnny5plays]

Any of the pennzoil schemes Kevin harvicks or team Penske a pennzoil scheme is pretty iconic in my opinion

[@RazorSharp75426]

Speaking of Pennzoil cars, those two aren't as iconic as 'Yellow Submarine Pennzoil' cars from CART/IndyCar and the Pennzoil NISMO GT-R

[@ClassicNortheastAutoRacing]

Here are some of our favorites that didn't make the list: - The #2 Miller Lite “Blue Deuce” from the late 1990s into the 2010s (driven by Rusty Wallace, Kurt Busch, and Brad Keselowski) - The “Tide Ride” from the late 1980s through the 2000s (most notably driven by Darrell Waltrip, Ricky Rudd, and Ricky Craven) - The #33 “Skoal Bandit” of the 1980s and 1990s (most notably driven by Harry Gant and Ken Schrader) - The #4 Kodak Film Morgan-McClure car of the 1990s and early 2000s (most notably driven by Ernie Irvan, Sterling Marlin, and Bobby Hamilton) - The #28/29 Hardees orange-and-white car from 1983-1989 (driven by Cale Yarborough and Dale Jarrett) - The Texaco/Havoline schemes from the late 1980s through the 2000s (most notably driven by Davey Allison, Ernie Irvan, Dale Jarrett, Ricky Rudd, and Jamie McMurray) - The blue-and-white Wrangler car of the 1980s driven by Dale Earnhardt (and also for one year by Ricky Rudd) - The #18 Interstate Batteries green-and-black car of the 1990s and early 2000s (driven by Dale Jarrett and Bobby Labonte) - The #42 Mello Yello car driven by Kyle Petty from 1991-1994 (and inspired by Cole Trickle’s #51 in the movie Days of Thunder) - The Coors cars - in particular, Bill Elliott’s red-and-white Coors car of the 1980s and Sterling Marlin’s Coors Light “Silver Bullet” of the 2000s - The Kellogg’s Corn Flakes/Frosted Flakes cars of the 1990s and 2000s (most notably driven by Terry Labonte and Mark Martin) - The Valvoline cars of the 1990s and 2000s (most notably driven by Mark Martin, Johnny Benson, and Scott Riggs)

Definitely could've replaced Kulwicki and the Gray Ghost, with Yarborough's 28 and Martins Valvoline 6 (First die cast i ever got). Would've been no complaints from me, still a great video list

[@VladimirBlarp]

The Texaco #28 deserves a mention. Iconic for a few drivers, and has basically vanished from the world of NASCAR. I can't remember the last time that the #28 has graced the doors of a cup car, but it's been quite some time.

[@aaronthomas6155]

Robert Yates still owns rights to the #28 in NASCAR. The last time it was used in the Cup series was 2009.

[@Teh_Hats]

Number one couldn't be anything but the black number three. Most iconic car in NASCAR, period.

[@davidniehoff4267]

Harry gants skoal 33 was iconic.

[@MarbleFox162]

The thing about the black 3 is Dale Earnhardt’s family said, when the 3 was brought back with Austin Dillon, that they were okay with the 3 coming out of retirement, only if it isn’t black. That is the only reason it isn’t black, and also the reason it hasn’t had a throwback.
