Gold Line: Bubba Wallace '2025 Columbia' Camry

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...

Notes:
​I've written on several occasions about how much I like the new casting for the most recent Camry the the Toyota teams in the Cups series have been using. Both the 1/24 scale version, and the 1/64 scale clone pictured here are sharp, and detailed castings that do a great job accurately portraying the real life 1/1 version of the race car you see on track. This livery includes several tricky elements that must be challenging to recreate in this scale. Things like a slim headlight system, foil number boarders, and the speckled pattern that adorns the majority of the car indicate a high level of difficulty when translating the paint scheme to 1/64 scale. Lionel did a phenomenal job on this model, and this car is easily a top-10 paint scheme for the year in my opinion. The unique color palate, and high quality design take advantage of the car's natural contours. This is a top model for 2025.
