I think we can unanimously agree that JD Motorsport’s #6 OOTG chevy driven by Brennan Poole is the best scheme this year.
Heard
Seconded
That one for sure but the ghost car is a close second
Indeed
but Focus Factor tho
but Tootsies tho
but 3CHI tho
The Brad Keselowski Violet defense car not being on this list is criminal
Any Brad Scheme not being on this list is criminal
Chastain's Phoenix car not being here is criminal
I agree. That's honestly my favorite from this season
Tyler Reddick number eight white 3CHI car should’ve been up there
Also Blaney Wurth, Blaney Bodyarmor, Blaney Wabash
The numbers moving forward ended up going way better than I expected. There were only a couple schemes that I thought were legitimately bad. Almost all the schemes were actually really good. A lot even gave me 80s vibes with the styles.
Which ones did you find legitimately bad?
nice profile picture
Yeah I didn't dislike it nearly as much as I thought I would. I still don't think I prefer the forward numbers, but if this is the way it has to be I'm alright with it
@@IntellectualSavior1 Every single Stenhouse scheme. Its like they tried to make em look like shit.
What bout chastin darlington throwback ?
Trackhouse designers knocked it out of the park this year. Amazing job, guys. Take a bow.
I agree, Trackhouse was the best all year across the board.
Kyle Sykes.
They really did. I think Trackhouse, RFK, and 23XII have the best paint scheme designers in the Cup series right now.
I found them all to be extremely underwhelming. They all looked like the generic ones you'd get in an early 2000's Nascar game.
Brad's Violet Defense Scheme was one of my favs
Ikr, Its A Beast 💜🖤💛
Since eric loves purple cars i am really suprised to not see the violet defense car on the list. Im not a fan of purple but even i loved it, i even bought this car as my 1st diecast
@@Drewster327 Mine Was The 20 Dewalt
As wild as this year’s been I kind of forgot how much everybody loss their minds about the door numbers😂
Wow- when Eric said how much he loved purple back at the start of the list, I was 100% certain Brad K’s Violet Defense #6 was going to be No.1. The black and the purple is beautiful and that day glo yellow with the chrome purple number. It really is 🤌🏻
I didn’t realize how much I liked purple cars until I saw that car.
The Dale Sr and Dale Jr throwbacks. That trackhouse ran were awesome.
Honestly, the Bristol M&M's Crunchy Cookie scheme is a top 5 of mine. The sky/baby blue as the main color feels unique and just the right amount of vibrant. The door space was used up well and ofc seeing it in victory as Kyle's last win in the M&M's machine on Easter, and it being the first win from KFB that I saw myself settles it. But that's just me
Plus the crunchy cookie m&m's slapped
Waited it for this since the beginning of the season
Should have top 5 of trucks and Top 5 xfinity, then 10 cup and then put them all together, include all series multiple videos and then maybe do top 10 of the decades
Eric, are we going to get a Top 10 Worst Paint Schemes of 2022 since it's now with the Next Gen car?
that might be next video after that one
How many slots will be filled with JTG cars?
@@fubbaquestor what's wrong with the JTG cars
Most of those cars were beautiful from that season
@@briangriffinfamilyguyfan81 unnnnnntil you get to the hood. Kroger ruins a majority of those schemes.
Honestly remember the JTG test car that I think was at Daytona sponsored by Kroger I did not like that the number was not slid forward
Keselowski’s Violet Defense and Kohler schemes are my favorites. Surprised neither of those made it into the top 20
I actually really like Byron's Raptor Scheme this year
Me too
Glad I aint alone in that!
Nice to see Bowman going back-to-back
The Noah Gragson Wendy’s car was really cool.
Reminded me of sterling Marlines usa flags 40 scheme
The Moose one is my favorite! I grew up in an orphanage that the Moose Fraternity runs in Chicago and is the reason why I followed and got hooked on this wonderful sport this year and your channel among others. The new car, the drama, and the Moose sponsorship all came together to allow me to enjoy NASCAR! Go Ross Chastain and to Christopher Bell whom is from my original Hometown!
Kurt Busch had a monster green monster colored spoiler in the spring talladega race I believe
One of my favorite and one of the most underrated schemes of 2022 in my opinion was Kyle Busch’s Peanut Butter M&Ms Indy RC car. 90% sure it’s based off his 2013 peanut butter car, but I just love how the red M&M on the side has peanut butter for hair and also the M&M on the hood you can see the chocolate and peanut butter layers in the M&M. It was a great scheme and not many people know about it.
My favorite 2022 schemes in random order (I love all of them):
-Kyle Busch - M&M's peanut butter & throwback
-Kimi Räikkönen
-Daniil Kvyat - (Cup Series)
-Kevin Harvick - Busch Bingo
-Christopher Bell - Yahoo!
-Chase Elliott - Hooters
-Ty Gibbs - McDonald's (Cup Series)
-William Byron - throwback scheme
-Joey Logano - AAA Insurance & plain yellow scheme
-Tyler Reddick - red Lenovo car
I don't care if you hate or love Bubba, his McDonalds scheme will always look better than what half the field has.
Like, BRUH😳😲!! I remember commenting under his IG post of its 1st reveal: "Your McDonald's schemes, while on 23XI, actually have the strong potential to become absolutely ICONIC over the years." .. And yep, this is my favorite ever McDonald's car of his!! (Plus, it tends to be SUPER fast😍.)
Just started the video… but the number 6 castrol scheme FTW!!! Lol
Ryan Blaney's Advanced Autoparts black scheme reminds me of early 90's Rusty Wallace #2 Miller car. Just missing that blue.
The out of the groove paint scheme from the #6 Xfinity car was my favorite paint scheme
How in the heck did Bowman's DC comics car not make this list even as an honorable mention?? That car was absolutely amazing!
Oh yes it was, those colours just popped.
my favorite is either the discount tire from cindric, or the menards blue def scheme from ryan blaney. something about that bright yellow is just so cool to me
Awesome to see one of my favorite Chastain cars get #2 on your list! My personal favorite scheme of 2022 was Ross Chastain's season finale car, because I got to see it in person and black camo works very well in my opinion.
The Advance car at #5 was a throwback to the Miller Genuine Draft car driven by Rusty Wallace in the early '90s.
Was going to comment this. When I saw it I went back to the early 90's.
Happy Birthday Eric!
Idc what anyone says , Harvick's graphics / paint scheme team is top tier ! They had so many amazing schemes and they never disappoint when they debut a new creative one
Eric: When a car is on camera, that first thing you see is the front bumper.
Daytona and Talladega: hahaha, hold my beer.
I can't believe the M&M Crunchy Cookies scheme wasn't any where on the list
Ong
Blaney's BodyArmor Edge scheme at Talladega was my personal favorite -- gave me a Macho Man Randy Savage vibe. On the same line of bright colors, I also really liked the Cole Custer Dixie Vodka Miami scheme too.
Chase Briscoe's Ford Performance scheme always seems solid as well.
Logano also had a painted spoiler on the pennzoil car that wasn’t a playoff scheme like the Sunny D car. You gotta do the top 20 schemes from now on, too many great schemes don’t get looked at otherwise! Loved the vid Eric! 😎
1. Brad had the best schemes by far
2. THAT BLANEY ADVANCE SCHEME MAKES ME GET INTIMIDATOR VIBES AND I LOVE THE SIMPLISTIC CLASSY LOOK
The Blaney car kinda reminds me of Davey Allison
The chrome #20 with the reflection of the black and yellow of the track is what got ya Eric.
Eric explaining the Sunny D car with the lines and the V.......no worries from dad if he was straight or not. 🤣🤣🤣
I got over the number placement pretty quickly. We still got some rockin' paint schemes. Trackhouse and 33XI routinely had my favorites.
Glad to see gradients making a comeback. For awhile they were synonymous with bad 90s design, but they can definitely be implemented in sleek and modern looking ways
That Hooters car this year is the first next gen car I’ve owned in diecast form!
The red Busch Light 4 car that won at Michigan looked great.
Can we talk about that old Mayfield car and how GENIUS angling the logo was? It's literally breaking the 4th wall in that photo and increases the sponsor's exposure.
Honestly, Lefty nailed it with the Hooters car this year, the light blue touches arguably in line with the Spirits line really help highlight against the orange
I'd say it's definitely the best along with Kulwicki's Underbird
A few notable ones that made my list: Bowman's DC Comics, Bubba's 9/11, Ty Gibbs Jordan car, Stenhouse Honey Nut Cheerios, Bubba Wheaties, Harvick Boosch, and The Money Team's paint schemes.
The 62 Noah gragson car looked great in person and funny to see Noah in a old Wendy's fit he was in
This isn't out of personal bias, but my favorite is Chase Elliott's NAPA car this year. They took full advantage of the extra door space and the extra stripe patterns make it possibly my favorite NAPA scheme ever.
I had to laugh at 13:05 Talking about Ty Dillon's car & how great the rays of sunshine look around the rear wheel. Meanwhile, the grille is bashed in & the hood is buckled!!!
I kinda feel Chases regular paint scheme should of even been in 22 spot just for it being so iconic this season
The paint schemes were top notch this year. Better then the last several years.
I'm glad Happy's Gearwrech car made the list, saw it in person at Vegas, that thing was sooo sharp in the sunlight. My top 5 schemes has to include Blaney's Body Armor and the RFK Violet Defense cars. Those 2 are the only 24th scale diecasts I ordered this year. Solid list though!
The chase briscoe mahindra tractors was the best in my opinion.
So glad you liked the harvick gear wrench car I loved that scheme it was the first next gen diecast I got and I plan on getting the 1;24
Blaney's Advance car has a definite Rusty Wallace vibe.
Harvick had some amazing ones this year…..the Route 66, the Busch bacon car, the boosch Halloween car, and his Busch apple car with the blue trim….all really nice cars…..and Brad k had some amazing ones….sad none of em won a race….
Agree with you about Joey's Pennzoil scheme. The Blaney Pennzoil scheme looks good too
I really liked Buescher's Fifth/Third Bank scheme and the Violet Defense schemes RFK used
Loved the Trackhouse American Flag car!
btw eric you're getting close to 200,000 subscribers on your youtube channel keep up the great work dude!
I love the Tootsie's livery of Chastain and Suarez and Gragson's Wendy's livery
Love the Advance #12 car. Makes me think of their Ed Vance commercials.
Denny's coke scheme had chrome numbers. And Joey's Pennzoil car had a yellow spoiler. I do like your list. Good variety.
At New Hampshire, the #34 of Kyle Weatherman in Xfinity had a gradient Blue and Teal EPM spoiler
That advance auto car gives me rusty wallace miller genuine draft vibes
I have the Advent Health diecast as it was just delivered on Friday and OMG.... I love it!!! Looks great in the display case.
Moving the door numbers forward took only a handful of races for me to get used to and it actually worked! There were so many good paint schemes this year that I liked, but it would be hard for me to make a case for many of them to beat out your list. (Maybe Chris Buescher's Fifth Third Bank car if they went with a better font). My top paint schemes have to be the 3 Penske Fords. Nobody looked more Next Gen than them. I would round out my Top 5 with McDowell's Love's scheme & Harvick's Subway scheme.
I’m not going lie, outside of JTG, not sliding the numbers for throwback weekend, and William Byron’s Raptor car, this was one of the best seasons I’ve watched where the overall paint schemes up and down the garage seemed flawless. I rarely looked at a car and didn’t like it. Although the branding isn’t as potent as the 90s and 2000s, the design level is almost matched. Either the race team designers went with a solid congruent style, or just completely was willing to risk it all with so much pop and bright colors and it worked more times than not. I wished the cars were painted like they were 20+ years ago, but this season tops last season without a doubt
Christopher Bell’s yahoo car, that thing was BEAUTIFUL at the Bristol night race in person, that color is so amazing
Good call on the McDonalds car w/burger & fries on the sides. That was my favorite all year long.
I was inches away from Chastains kubota car when they were wheeling it onto pit road in Miami….it was so nice…..plus I was inches away from dillons huk Miami car, Custers Dixie Miami car and I gotta tell that Custer Miami car was one of the best I’ve ever seen…and the 45 Columbia car that ran in Miami with the swordfish on it….the fact there’s no diecast of it is criminal……some amazing cars this year from Columbia and no diecasts….
There were definitely some good paint schemes this season one of my favs was the Monster Energy car and Harvicks Busch light primary
The spoilers on the Next-gens were painted for superspeedway races. Some had a white spoiler, some had blue, and a few red. But most were black
Favorite Post-Season Out of the Groove episode next to the Professor Estepp. Love these videos so much
For me 1, Martin Truex Jr Ovarian Cancer Roval car. 2,The 47 Kona Brewing car and rounding off the podium is Ty Gibbs Monster Camry as I know it’s just a black car but it’s simple and fits the Camry well just like the Furniture row car.
The Logano scheme had a yellow spoiler (Vegas and Primary) and same with Blaney schemes, Cindric’s Menards/Quaker State had a yellow spoiler, and Stenhouse Sunny D
I love Bowman's Nashville scheme, but I was kinda sad that his October Las Vegas scheme didn't even make the honorable mentions. I feel like that car didn't get talked about enough. The Ally logo was large and simplistic, and the pink lightning and white letters popped on the matte black. I'm also surprised that I didn't see Ty Dillon's Space Force #42 anywhere in this video. I thought that car looked absolutely incredible at Martinsville.
I think that Advance scheme is my favorite basic scheme in like 10-15 years. It's perfect.
My favorite livery of 2022 was The Clash scheme that Harrison Burton ran. Just the return of the Wood Brother's Racing gold door number.
Eric, changing the color of the spoiler would probably be considered "modifying a single-sourced part". Considering most cars are wrapped these days, it would be too easy to modify the wrap on the spoiler to provide an aerodynamic advantage. I'm assuming to avoid this, NASCAR no longer allows wrapping on spoilers. Remember Denny and and Kyle getting disqualified after the July Pocono race this season because of some tape under the wrap on the nose of the car to "soften the edges". Also, refer back to 2017 when Chase Elliott was docked 15 points for a piece of tape on the spoiler. I remember the spotters on Door Bumper Clear talking about putting razor thin cuts in the wrapping on the spoilers a few years ago to create an advantage. I just don't think wrapping a spoiler is allowed any longer especially because so much of it is required to be see through.
Awesome schemes you added! I made my list of my favorite schemes from each driver a few weeks ago and I've seen some amazing schemes this year! My favorite one I can think of this year is Ross Chastain's GoPro scheme, I absolutely love it!
My favorite was the Leidos Scheme for Bubba Wallace. Like the purple with hints of other colors.
I really liked Austin Cindric's black and blue Freightliner scheme he ran in the Clash.
I agree. It was my personal favorite this year
22:20 the design on the A post represents the grips on the bottle
A lot of cars had colored spoilers this year. Blaney’s BodyArmor had a yellow one. I know the Toyota’s like Kurt had green spoiler at the superspeedways.
Chase Elliott hooters better be on this
Hooty? LMFAO, idky but that cracked me up.
Well done. Nice job! Can you please do one for the Xfinity series as well? Also do a driver grade for Xfinity drivers? That series doesn't seem to get enough love, yet it's the most exciting to watch. Oh, and I guess we are calling them wrap schemes now, since no paint is really involved anymore?
Byron's dark grey Raptor paint scheme is top 5 by far, possibly No.1. The way that the grey and highlighter yellow complement each other and the raptor eye peeking through the claw slashes is amazing. I am surprised and disappointed it was not at least on the honorable mentions.
the 43 at times this year had the side skirts painted to match the car. Aso late in the year. They had the spoilers painted the blue of the car. Including the Cook Out Southern 500 winning car.
Most of Harvick's cars are sharp. Faves were the Pegasus Mobil 1s and the Gearwrench, which simply glowed.
I know there may be bias but Austin Dillon's Huk paint scheme from Miami was brilliant and fit for the vibe of Miami just like Cole Custers car that same weekend
I think honestly once I saw a full race with the forward placed numbers, I got used to them. The test cars looked strange as hell, but once full sponsor decals were added, I think it looks rather normal considering that the proportions of the next Gen are kind of different from previous years.
Ross Chastain’s Worldwide Express was my favorite of 2022, with his and Daniel Suarez’s Jockey cars a close second
I'm still pissed off at Lionel for canceling Ross Chastain's GoPro diecast in 1/64 like what were they thinking?
Whoop whoop NG made the top 20!!! Love the Wendy’s car.
One of the paint schemes I really loved was Chase Elliott’s children’s foundation car. Not a great result, but a really nice looking paint scheme.
Eric apparently left Nashville with souvenir Carrie Underwood legs 😂
The Michael Jordan livery, Coca Cola and the Harvick desert liveries were some of my personal top 5, I’d even put them in some of my favourites ever
I know it’s a throwback but the Ross polar bear car has to be the best one. 😂
From what i noticed the gibs cars ran different color spoilers at the superspeedways. Great video btw
Being an aeronautics major listening to Eric say “more aerodynamic” …. It’s all good fun though. :D
I liked a lot of William Byron's #24 schemes mainly the Raptor one.
