Another Cup Series season has come and gone, and the designers did not disappoint. From iconic throwbacks at Darlington Raceway to special themed schemes, the Next Gen cars looked stellar once again.
Before we completely bid adieu to 2024, let’s take a look back at some of the best paint schemes from this past season.
10. Ross Chastain, No. 1 Jockey Outdoors Chevrolet
Photo-esque designs can look great on a Next Gen car, especially when the extra space on the door is used well. Such was the case for Ross Chastain‘s No. 1 from the spring Talladega Superspeedway NASCAR Cup Series race. The Jockey Outdoors by Luke Bryan scheme was well thought out in the placement of each feature, like Bryan and his dog on the hood and the fish in front of the rear wheel.
The number on the door stands out without taking away from the design itself. Plus, “huntin’, fishin’ and lovin’ every day” is set well and readable on the rear bumper. It definitely was a beauty at the 2.66-mile track.

9. Ryan Blaney, No. 12 Advance Auto Parts Ford
From one drafting track to another, Ryan Blaney‘s Advance Auto Parts car at Daytona International Speedway was one clean machine. A black-and-yellow background looked great beneath the red number and white logo.
It also has a red stripe separating the black and yellow, which really made the two primary colors pop.
Blaney drove this design in three other races, including at Iowa Speedway when he won his first race of the year.

8. Zane Smith, No. 71 Jockey Outdoors/Luke Bryan Chevrolet
Jockey had some really good designs this year across multiple drivers, including Zane Smith. This particular one was run at Nashville Superspeedway and fit the theme of the city. The door had part of a guitar in the background, which suits the area well.
This race was a memorable one for Smith, and not just because of the design. He earned a career-best result of second, finishing just behind Joey Logano.
