Gold Line: Josh Berry, 2025 PPG Ford

7/24/2026

Picture
Nascar first arrived at Indianapolis in 1994, and ever since the inaugural Brickyard 400, Nascar's history at the storied race track runs deep. Josh Berry's 2025 season began better than anyone could have hoped, with a huge win early in the year at Las Vegas, the entire 2025 season which also was the 75th anniversary of Wood Brother's racing was essentially icing on the cake. One of the best paint schemes of the season for the 21 car was this beautiful PPG scheme which hadn't been on a race car in some time. For a closer look, read on...

Gold Line: Shane Van Gisbergen, 2025 Jockey Chevy

7/4/2026

Picture
As the 2025 Cup season wound down, one of the best paint schemes  of the year for Shane Van Gisbergen was deployed at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Jockey has been an integral part of the success behind Trackhouse and while the race itself went poorly for the No. 88 team, the car they brought looked great and was a celebration of the New Zealander's mega success in 2025. This diecast was one of the first cars that Lionel distributed on the all-metal chassis which also has rubber wheels. Read on.

Gold Line: Ricky Stenhouse Jr. '2026 Jack Links' Chevy

Hyak Motorsports has gone through some significant changes in the past few years. Formerly known as JTG Doughtery Racing and at one point, a two car team. Now rebranded as Hyak Motorsports, Ricky Stnehouse Jr. has continued to carry the banner there since 2020. In that span he's won a couple of races, and continues to attract interesting sponsors like Jack Links jerky. Jack Links continues to sponsor Stenhouse in 2026, but last year, a special one-off paint scheme debuted at Daytona. Read on...

Gold Line: Corey Lajoie '2025 Take 5' Mustang

2/11/2026

Picture
Most race fans have heard the name Corey Lajoie before, son of the storied Nascar two time Busch Series champion Randy Lajoie. But not many people may remember that Corey bet his children's college fund, on himself, that he would be able to race his way into the Daytona 500. In a partnership with Rick Ware Racing, and sponsorship from Take 5 Oil Change, Lajoie was miraculously able to race his way into the 500. For a closer look at the 1/54 scale version, read more here.

Gold Line: Carson Hocevar '2025 Zeigler 50th' Chevy

1/9/2026

Picture
It's been a long time since a young driver has caused as much of a stir in the Cup series as Carson Hocevar has in his second year. After demonstrating noteworthy talent and speed as a rookie in 2024, the 2025 season will be one  where Hocevar was remembered as a constant belligerent who threatened to both win and wreck on any given weekend. The Zeigler Automotive Group has been dabbling in Nascar for several years. They've forged a strong relationship with Spire, and in 2025, they celebrated their 50th with this paint scheme.

2025 was a good year for Bubba Wallace. He matched his career best in wins, top 5s, and top 10s. He also led 378 laps on the season, the most of his career. Columbia has been a long time supporter of Bubba, even before he joined 23XL Racing. While Wallace is yet to bring Columbia to victory lane as a primary sponsor, they have been an integral part of his growth and success in 2025. Today's Photo of the Day takes a closer look at the primary Columbia scheme that Bubba Wallace raced twice in 2025 . For more, read on...

Dale Earnhardt Jr. has remained active in the Late Model Stock Car ZMax CARS Tour in 2025. With four races on his schedule, three of them were supported by Budweiser, and one was a continuation of what's been a fun and engaging campaign with Sun Drop soda. Dale Jr. brought his Sun Drop Chevy LMSC to Tri-County Motor Speedway on October 4th 2025. He qualified for the main even starting 24th, and was able to finish 12 on the day. Lionel developed their LMSC tooling late in 2022. For a closer look at this version from 2025, read on...

Daniel Suarez joined Trackhouse Racing in 2021 as the team began their ambitious launch into the Cup series. Over that period of time, he competed in 180 points paying races, and claimed two wins for the team. Freeway Insurance has been a close partner of Daniel and has been on his car at least once per season since he signed with Trackhouse. Suarez and Freeway Insurance are on the move in 2026 joining Spire Motorsports. So this is the final Freeway Insurance livery for Suarez on the No.99 Chevy. For a closer look, read on...

Gold Line: Denny Hamlin '2025 ampm' Camry

When it became clear that Fedex would no longer be Denny Hamlin's main sponsor in Nascar for the 2025 season, it left a void for new partners to take up coveted marketing slots on the JGR No. 11 Camry. Among other new Nascar partners, ampm, a west coast convenience store chain committed to be the primary sponsor of Denny four two west coast races during the 2025 season. The purple and black ampm Toyota raced at both Sonoma in July, and Las Vegas in October. For a closer look at the ampm Camry, read on...

Gold Line: Riley Herbst, '25 Sunny D' Camry

Riley Herbst has quietly gone about learning how to race in the Cup series in 2025. After 33 starts, he's got an average starting position of 27th, and an average finishing position of 26th. He's been greatly outperformed compared to fellow rookie, Shane van Gisbergen who has notched five wins, but comparing the two isn't remotely fair. That being said, Herbst has had some good moments, and many strong supporters including Proctor and Gamble who distributes Sunny D.
