Oh yeah baby. One of the best ever. Idk why people love the Hot Wheels paint scheme so much. I don't get the appeal of it at all. My top ten in no specific order 10. #18 Interstate battery Bobby Labonte being my personal fav version 9. #6 Valvoline 1998 8. #99 Exide Batt 1998-1999 7. #42 Mellow Yellow Kyle Petty 92 6. Darrel Waltrip Western silver and black 5. Dupont Rainbow Warrior #24 Jeff Gordon any year,and fav is the TRex paint job for all star 4. Kellogg's Corn Flakes #5 3. #28 Halvoline Davey Allison with gold numbers and white side 2. #3 Dale Earnhardt any paint schemes, but I loved the silver one off 1. #20 Home Depot 1999 Tony Stewart with the Rigid sponsor and the white side stripe. My favorite driver next to Davey Allison. Loved him from his first start. No one believed me back then he was gonna be great. And remember his first win at Richmond and telling everyone he is gonna have the best rookie season of all time and get two more wins and he ended up doing it right at end of year he got the 3rd. Won a title 3years later. Had a great career. Could drive anything with wheels. Shame he never got a 500 win. One of the things he could never check off the list. But only driver to race the Indy 500 and coke cola 600 same day and finish in top ten in both. I think he may have lead a lap in both as well but not sure. He was one of the last drivers around that spoke his mind, got fired up on and off the track which always made for entertaining fueds. Him and Harvick really last ones from a different generation. You can say Busch but he sounds more like a whiney baby than anything else. Everybody else is just too corporate and just tows the line for the company, never starting any controversy. Makes the sport boring
Someone PLEASE throwback to that Hot Wheels scheme some day. Had a pair of boxers with that scheme on them because they came with a 1:64 scale car LOL.
Kyle’s Hot Wheels care was my favorite especially the one in the video pic with the dark blue metallic paint. Having the track with the loop around the number was an awesome touch. Whoever came up with that scheme was brilliant.
That 44 ran like a turd but always looked incredible. I loved Terry Labonte's Kellogg's #5. That was the car that pulled me in as a kid watching my first race on tv. Pretty sure it was Bristol 1995 at that. Always been a favorite scheme. Adam Petty's Spree car was cool too, liked the Western Auto Waltrip scheme too.
Where to even begin. Pretty much all of them looked amazing then and I'm sure I'm leaving out a ton of others. I'll try though since these ones pop out most in my memory. 1- Dale Earnhardt late 90s especially the one with the big Plus on the hood he won the Daytona 500 in, Rusty's 95 Genuine Draft (really all of Rustys Miller cars were great), 3- Jeremy Mayfield's 12 Mobil 1, 4- Allison-Irvan's 28 Texaco Havoline, 5- Burton's 99 late 90s Exide (only time I've ever seen pink look good on a car), 6- DW's Western Auto car early 90s with the chrome number, 7- any of Spencer's 23 Winston No Bull or Camel Smoking Joes cars, 8- all of Martins Valvolines then were amazing but the 98 Black Eagle One was the all time best, 9- John Andrettis 43 STP schemes (I know Richard retired after 92) but John Andretti's may of looked even better, 10- any of the 4 Kodak cars from Ernie Irvan, Marlin, and Bobby Hamilton. Honestly, I was never a huge fan of Gordon's rainbow car. The flames schemes in the 2000s were way better
Very nice collection! I would have definitely included the late 90s Skittles car in one of these lists. Also, TH-cam pushed this pretty hard as a premier but it was not pushed at all after it was available to watch. I'm here thanks to a reminder on Twitter.
Your comments about the 90s babies were spot on. The hot wheels car was the pinnacle of my collection & as a broke kid stuck with mostly 99 cents store cars, the most durable. I never bought Corn flakes (or name brand cereal really) so I don’t think I acquired one but Jeff’s DuPont car was the pinnacle of badassery to me.
10. Jeff Burton Exide 1999 9. Harry Gant Skoal Bandit 1992 8. Sterling Marin Kodiak 1994 7. Alan Kulwicki Hooters 1992 6. Darrell Waltrip Western Auto 1991 5. Dale Jr AC Delco 1998 4.

Jeffs 1998 Rainbow dupont was such a Pretty car! It's definitely one of the most beautiful stock cars in nascar, the cars today look nothing compared to this beauty.
Ahh David... Nice list but my fav's are in no particular order 1.Michael Waltrip Pennzoil 91-95 2.Jimmy Spencer Camel 95 3.Mark Martin 92-95 4.Rusty Wallace 93 5.Geoff Bodine Exide scheme 94-95 6.Chad Little John Deere scheme 97-99 7.Jeff Gordon 8.Darrell Waltrip Western Auto scheme 92-97 9.Ernie Irvan 94-97 10.Ted Musgrave Family Channel scheme
The Cartoon Network sponsored car was my favorite one of the 1990s. It was driven by several different drivers and never had much success, but it looked good out on the track.
I am going to throw out what I think is an underrated scheme in the 90s... The John Andretti RCA #98 car from 1997. It's very simple, but I like the simple red and white scheme.
Jeff Gordon Dupont 1993-1999 Alan Kulwicki Hooters 1992 Rusty Wallace Miller 1996 and 1998 Dale Earnhardt Goodwrench 1995 Sterling Marlin 1995-1996 Terry Labonte 1995-1996 Mark Martin Valvoline 1998 Hut Stricklin Circuit City 1998 Ricky Rudd Tide 1995-1998 Jeremy Mayfield Mobil 1 1998 Ted Musgrave Primestar 1997 Darrell Waltrip Parts America Bobby Labonte/Dale Jarrett Interstate Batteries 1995-1996/1993 Dale Jarrett/Ernie Irvan Havoline 1995-1996 Ken Schrader Skoal 1998 Ernie Irvan Skittles 1998 Kyle Petty Mello Yello 1992 Joe Nemechek Bellsouth 1997-1998 Bobby Hamilton STP 1997 Kyle Petty Coors Light 1995-1996 Wally Dallenbach First Union 1997 Morgan Shepard Remington 1996 Joe Nemechek Burger King 1996 Dale Jarrett Ford Quality Care 1998-1999 Mike Wallace Helig-Meyers 1995 Mike Wallace Spam 1996 Bill Elliott McDonald's 1996 David Green Caterpillar Chad Little John Deere 1997-1998 Jeremy Mayfield/John Andretti RCA 1996-1997 Jeff Burton Exide 1997 There are just too many and plenty more not even listed
The Heilig-Meyers car was also driven by Dick Trickle. Underrated, because it was a small time team that never came close to winning, but a very good looking car.
@@RRaquello it was, but I couldn't remember if the scheme changed, so I kept it off the list. I also liked Dick Trickle's number 15 Ford Quality Care car in 1995. Different scheme from Jarrett's.
@@doiknowyousir The Heilig-Meyers paint scheme did change over the years. First, I think, was all-black with the logo on the hood. Then it became blue & black, front of the car blue, back of the car black. Both were good looking cars.
@@RRaquello it was teal and red numbers first when Bobby Hillin drove the #90, then it was the teal in the front and black in the back when Mike Wallace and Dick Trickle drove and it was all black in '98 the last season Heilig-Meyers sponsored the #90, drove by Dick Trickle. That car wasn't any more than a mid-pack ride at best when the Cup Series wasnt at Bristol or the plate tracks but yes damn nice looking paint jobs
I absolutely love just about every paint scheme from the 90's. Plus, the sponsors would be on the car the whole season. Making it easy to recognize where your driver and other drivers were on the track.
Great choices David. My choices are as follow in no particular order. Both of Kyle Petty's mello yello car and Hot Wheels paint scheme. Both Ernie Irvan's #4 Kodak (box) car and the #36 Skittles 'taste the excitement' paint scheme. Robert Pressley's cartoon network "the mystery machine" paint scheme. The Hollywood video paint scheme which I can't remember at this moment who drove that car. (Thinking it was Billy Standrige) Mark Martin's '98 valvoline paint scheme. Rusty Wallace '96 'wet paint' (Sam bass reference) Miller car. Ricky Rudd 'Tide ride' cars and the Darrell Waltrip's Western Auto paint scheme.
The 98/99 valvoline car was the used in the first run copies of Gran Turismo 2 for the ford taurus race conversion. However it was changed in subsequent printings and made generic.
* Jeff Gordon's 1996-99 Rainbow scheme is up there and then Neil Bonnett/Dale Jarrett/Morgan Shepherd CITGO Ford from 1989-1992, that white and red was a nice combo and it looked clean. * Tony Stewart's Home Depot Pontiac, I loved the orange and the white original scheme it was eye catching and it screamed home improvement because the white outline resembled the roof of a house. * Cartoon Network cars were always eye-catching when I was a kid * Davey Allison's Texaco scheme and later Ernie Irvan drove it. * Dale Jarrett's 88 Quality Care car was awesome and it got a lot of exposure with Dale winning the big events. * Derrike Cope/Ernie Irvan Skittles scheme on the 36 that was a beautiful car and even though Ernie never finished top 5 in it, it was a nice scheme and it got thrown back to last year. * ANY Valvoline scheme from that time was very sharp. Those were really the ones that caught my eye.
My favorite was Jarrett’s/Labonte’s Interstate cars. Petty’s Hot Wheels car was absolutely awesome as well. Waltrip’s Western Auto cars were also badass, as were the Tide rides.
I agree with everything, except no mention of Kenny Wallace 1998 lightening scheme. You took me down memory lane to my childhood with this video, I remember when all of those schemes ran.
Listening to this on my drive home, and I'm just patiently waiting for my dear Jeff Gordon to be mentioned and every time you announced the next I was like "Yeah but what about Gordon?" and I won't lie when you put him as number one I shouted "YESSSSSS!". Gordon was the reason I got into NASCAR.
This brought me back to my childhood and falling in love with cars and racing. Loved it. I loved Swervin’ Irvin’s #36 Skittles car too and of course my all time favorite, the car that to this day cemented my love for the brand, driver and racing, Ricky Rudd’s 1997 #10 Tide car. I’m almost 30 now and Ricky is still a hero of mine. I only use Tide detergent haha. It’s crazy what these schemes can do to you. What a time for nascar. So glad I was able to watch and grow up in this era of nascar.
1. Jeff Gordon's 1998 monte carlo (Dupont) 2. Ernie irvan's 1999 pontiac (M&Ms) 3. Bobby labonte's 1998 pontiac (interstate batteries) 4. Kyle petty's 1999 pontiac (Hot wheels) 5. Terry labonte's 1999 monte carlo (Kelloggs) Hope you enjoyed my list of my favorite liveries ranked!
10. Buckshot Jones #00 Aqua fresh Pontiac grand prix 1997-1998 9. Bill Elliott #94 McDonalds Ford Thunderbird/taurus 1994-1998 8. Rusty Wallace #2 Miller lite ford Thunderbird/Taurus 1997-1999 7. Ernie Irvan/Sterling Marlin/Bobby Hamilton #4 Kodak Chevy lumina/monte carlo 1990-1999 6. Richard Petty's #43 STP Pontiac grand prix 1990-1992 5. Michael Waltrip's #21 Citgo ford taurus. 1998 4. Ricky Rudd's #10 Tide ford Thunderbird/Taurus 1994-99 3. Davey Allison/Ernie Irvan #28 Texaco/Havoline ford Thunderbird 1991-1996 2. Ernie Irvan's #36 M&Ms Pontiac grand prix 1998-1999 1. Dale Earnhardt's #3 GM goodwrench Chevy Lumina/monte Carlo 1990-1999 Also loved the hotwheels 44, the kellogs 5, the interstate 18, the Dupont 24, the valvoline 6, the amoco 93, and the exide 99
I dont care at all anymore for nascar, not even sure why i was recommended this video, but i loved seeing all these schemes and cars that i remember watching. The old #6 Valvoline with Mark behind the wheel is always gonna be my favorite though.
I don't think you can argue with #1 even if you attempt to bring up Dale Sr's GM Goodwrench car since that scheme didn't originate in the 90's, that came about in the 80's, and Richard Petty's STP scheme was the 70's... I believe the truly iconic scheme died around the end of the second Bush administration-beginning of the Obama administration (not trying to be political, just using that as a reference point in American history) since we've seen less full-time sponsorships, also sponsors changing their designs every year, example being the Target cars, Juan Pablo Montoya's first NASCAR Target scheme wasn't the same as Kyle Larson's final Target scheme, I think the last iconic scheme was Jimmie Johnson's Lowe's cars
That Jeff Gordon commercial, brought back some memories. Another one was with Dale Earnhardt. When he turned into the Looney Tunes character Tasmanian Devil.
Jeff Gordon was/is/will always be my favorite driver. Mostly because of this car, and partially because we share a birthday(I was born on his 24th bday). Also, I still have that Mark Martin Valvoline scheme as my light switch cover in my room.
IDK that I could make a top 5 list, but I know my number 1 will always be the #5 Kellogs car. On the Mark Martin car, I never noticed that the design was made of V's until the throwback
It went through 2000. Georgia Pacific took over in 2001 on the 44. Kyle started 2000 in it and Buckshot took over after Adam's death when Kyle ran the 45 in Adam's honor.
I am a simple guy....Give me Earnhardt's 3 1990 to 1997 (before they put the Plus on the hood)....Gotta give a tip of the hat to Kyle Petty's NWO car and Steve Grissoms WCW car.....
Ready for every single NASCAR fan to hate me? No? Well I'm going to do it anyway! I think that Kyle Petty's mellow yellow paint scheme is better than Jeff Gordon's DuPont rainbow warrior scheme 😆
1: Gordon Jurassic Park 2: Dale Earnhardt rainbow 3: Marlin Kodak car 4: Kyle petty mellow yellow 5: Jeff Gordon rainbow 6: Ted Musgrave Family tv car 7: Terry labonte iron Man car 8: Dale Jarrett interstate 9: bill Elliot Mac tonight 10: mark Martin Valvoline
I remember a truck race, I think at Bristol, one of the trucks was painted with the identical Jeff Gordon Dupont paint scheme. That truck wins the race, and guess who climbs out at the end in victory lane to pick up the trophy? Terry Labonte, dressed up in one of Gordon's fire suits. It looked so weird and out of place. I think that was the only truck race he won.
I’m actually lucky enough to have a Kyle Petty Mello Yellow diecast. It’s an off brand version that had stickers on it, but it is partly hand painted and metal, so I count it. Your list is pretty similar to mine. I’d change some of the orders around, add the lightning Exide car instead of the purple-blue fade, and add in a Rusty Wallace blue-white Miller scheme and a Bobby Hamilton 43 scheme for Rusty’s own scheme and Jarrett’s scheme.
Awesome video , you got # 1 right but I would add the 1997 all star race paint scheme to the list Jurassic Park the ride DuPont Chevrolet Monte Carlo .
My top 10 are 1. Steve park reverse paint scheme where the base paint was black and the lones were yellow 2. Dale Earnhardt sr peter max car 3. Kyle petty hot wheels car 4. Jeff Gordon rainbow warrior car 5. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Bud car 6. Dale Jarrett interstate batteries car 7. Terry labonte kelloggs car 8. Dale sr silver secret car 9. Bill elliott McDonald's car 10. Dale sr atlanta 1996 car
1. Rainbow warrior. Always. 2. Cornflakes Terry 3. Mark Martin valvoline with the fuzzy/electrified 6 4. Blue Dale Jarrett with the red 88 5. Kyle petty mellow yellow 6. White n Blue deuce 7. KP hotwheels 8. Bill Elliott McDonald’s 9. Kenny Schrader skittles 10. Davey Allison black n red 28
I can’t argue with any of these choices. It also wouldn’t bother me if the 3 paint scheme, the Texaco scheme, and the wood brothers scheme was included.
Dude, I have a diecast of the Kyle Petty Mello Yello car. It's from the early '90s. He's my all-time favorite driver. P.S. I tweeted him a while back and asked him his favorite paint scheme that he ran.....it was the Mello Yello car! lol
He's mine too. I met him at the 2003 Rockingham spring race and I have him a die cast I'd painted that was half his Hot Wheels and half Adam's Sprint car. I have a photo of him and I with it. Afterward, I sent Austin a note saying if Kyle wanted to auction the car off for the Camp, I'm ok with that. He wrote back immediately and said he'd 'talk to dad." A few days later, I got a note from Kyle who said, "I'm keeping it. Thanks again."
Pretty fitting my 2 favorite cars ended up 1, and 2. BTW Johnny Benson also ran the valvoline paint splattered paint scheme in 01, but never won though, but at least the car looked good, lol
An awesome throwback for the #22 Shell car would be for them to throwback to a business partner from Australia Dick Johnson who has had Shell sponsorship since 1987
Allison’s Texaco/Havoline 28, especially with gold numbers is my favorite.
Oh yeah baby. One of the best ever.
Idk why people love the Hot Wheels paint scheme so much. I don't get the appeal of it at all.
My top ten in no specific order
10. #18 Interstate battery Bobby Labonte being my personal fav version
9. #6 Valvoline 1998
8. #99 Exide Batt 1998-1999
7. #42 Mellow Yellow Kyle Petty 92
6. Darrel Waltrip Western silver and black
5. Dupont Rainbow Warrior #24 Jeff Gordon any year,and fav is the TRex paint job for all star
4. Kellogg's Corn Flakes #5
3. #28 Halvoline Davey Allison with gold numbers and white side
2. #3 Dale Earnhardt any paint schemes, but I loved the silver one off
1. #20 Home Depot 1999 Tony Stewart with the Rigid sponsor and the white side stripe. My favorite driver next to Davey Allison. Loved him from his first start. No one believed me back then he was gonna be great. And remember his first win at Richmond and telling everyone he is gonna have the best rookie season of all time and get two more wins and he ended up doing it right at end of year he got the 3rd. Won a title 3years later. Had a great career. Could drive anything with wheels. Shame he never got a 500 win. One of the things he could never check off the list. But only driver to race the Indy 500 and coke cola 600 same day and finish in top ten in both. I think he may have lead a lap in both as well but not sure. He was one of the last drivers around that spoke his mind, got fired up on and off the track which always made for entertaining fueds. Him and Harvick really last ones from a different generation. You can say Busch but he sounds more like a whiney baby than anything else. Everybody else is just too corporate and just tows the line for the company, never starting any controversy. Makes the sport boring
I like all of Allison's I think my favorite was his white an black one in the 80s
This and the #4 Kodak deserved a spot on this list
Someone PLEASE throwback to that Hot Wheels scheme some day. Had a pair of boxers with that scheme on them because they came with a 1:64 scale car LOL.
I had a book bag in first grade with this and it came with a scale model of the car too!
dont jizz in it
I had a lunchbox.
Lol
they uh did for x finity
This out of the norm. A nascar video this year?? What are the odds??
I prefer Bobby Labonte’s Interstate Batteries Design. I know that was late 90’s early 2000s but I would say Jarret’s is a close 2nd
Matthew Hogberg I know right that paint scheme is why I became a NASCAR Fan
Kyle’s Hot Wheels care was my favorite especially the one in the video pic with the dark blue metallic paint. Having the track with the loop around the number was an awesome touch. Whoever came up with that scheme was brilliant.
The Jeff Gordon paintjob IS what got me into NASCAR as a kid. You are definitely right about how influencecal it was
This is my favorite paint scheme in the entire nascar
Jeffs design with the flames was sick tho
1. Kyle Petty's #44 Hot Wheels Scheme ('97)
2. Kyle Petty's #42 Mello Yello Car ('92)
3. Dale Jarrett's #18 Interstate Batteries Car ('93)
4. Jeff Gordon's Rainbow Warrior Car (that's right.)
5. Brett Bodine's #26 Quaker State Car ('90)
6. Darrell Waltrip's #17 Western Auto Car ('92)
7. Mark Martin's #6 Valvoline Car ('93)
8. Geoff Bodine's #7 QVC Car ('96)
9. Davey Allison's #28 Texaco/Havoline Car ('92)
10. Ricky Rudd's #10 Tide Car ('90)
Flip 1 and 2. lol
I'd flip 2 and 10. The Tide car is second best livery of all time to me. Otherwise, your list is spot on.
Not a bad list.
I like Geoff Bodine’s ‘94 car better
Mello Yello #1 for me, Skittles and M&Ms I think are quite cool
I understand your criteria was main schemes only, however, the Melling Racing #9 Cartoon Network car has to get an honorable mention.
That 44 ran like a turd but always looked incredible.
I loved Terry Labonte's Kellogg's #5. That was the car that pulled me in as a kid watching my first race on tv. Pretty sure it was Bristol 1995 at that. Always been a favorite scheme.
Adam Petty's Spree car was cool too, liked the Western Auto Waltrip scheme too.
Agreed, 90s and early 2000s had it with schemes. Hard to choose really
Where to even begin. Pretty much all of them looked amazing then and I'm sure I'm leaving out a ton of others. I'll try though since these ones pop out most in my memory. 1- Dale Earnhardt late 90s especially the one with the big Plus on the hood he won the Daytona 500 in, Rusty's 95 Genuine Draft (really all of Rustys Miller cars were great), 3- Jeremy Mayfield's 12 Mobil 1, 4- Allison-Irvan's 28 Texaco Havoline, 5- Burton's 99 late 90s Exide (only time I've ever seen pink look good on a car), 6- DW's Western Auto car early 90s with the chrome number, 7- any of Spencer's 23 Winston No Bull or Camel Smoking Joes cars, 8- all of Martins Valvolines then were amazing but the 98 Black Eagle One was the all time best, 9- John Andrettis 43 STP schemes (I know Richard retired after 92) but John Andretti's may of looked even better, 10- any of the 4 Kodak cars from Ernie Irvan, Marlin, and Bobby Hamilton. Honestly, I was never a huge fan of Gordon's rainbow car. The flames schemes in the 2000s were way better
all of Jeff Gordon’s paint schemes were amazing throughout his entire career
except the 3M... that was an oof...
The 3M only looked good on Biffles cars lol. It looked weird on Gordons and Chase's. Lucky they dont use it anymore
@@dshih199 I think I'd like the 3M scheme better if it was a bit more decorated
Very nice collection!
I would have definitely included the late 90s Skittles car in one of these lists.
Also, TH-cam pushed this pretty hard as a premier but it was not pushed at all after it was available to watch. I'm here thanks to a reminder on Twitter.

The Kellogs 5 was always one of my favorites. Along with any Bill Elliot McDonalds livery.

The Cartoon Network sponsored car was my favorite one of the 1990s. It was driven by several different drivers and never had much success, but it looked good out on the track.
Did you have a preference at all on Grissom's yellowish scheme or Pressley's purple scheme?
@@doiknowyousir I preferred the yellow paint scheme. I believe the Flintstones were on the hood.
@@bully3628 cool. Yeah, I think they were on that one and Scooby Doo was on the purple one.
I am going to throw out what I think is an underrated scheme in the 90s...
The John Andretti RCA #98 car from 1997. It's very simple, but I like the simple red and white scheme.
Kyle Petty had some pretty cool schemes in his day, that Mello Yellow 42 was awesome
Am I right in saying that Mello Yello was Coca Cola's answer to Mountain Dew?
Yeah I would say so, Mt. Dew released in 1964, M Y in 1979
the 42 Silver Bullet Coors were awesome too

Great choices David. My choices are as follow in no particular order. Both of Kyle Petty's mello yello car and Hot Wheels paint scheme. Both Ernie Irvan's #4 Kodak (box) car and the #36 Skittles 'taste the excitement' paint scheme. Robert Pressley's cartoon network "the mystery machine" paint scheme. The Hollywood video paint scheme which I can't remember at this moment who drove that car. (Thinking it was Billy Standrige) Mark Martin's '98 valvoline paint scheme.

What about the yellow Kodak car, that was a cool one
A version of that car sits at a Quaker Steak & Lube near Pittsburgh, at least it used to.
the Kodak cars are some of the most underrated ever
They’re iconic but I don’t think they look the best
I'm disappointed Jeremy Mayfields number 12 Mobil 1 car with the big beautiful Pegasus on the side wasn't mentioned. Still my favorite livery ever
* Jeff Gordon's 1996-99 Rainbow scheme is up there and then Neil Bonnett/Dale Jarrett/Morgan Shepherd CITGO Ford from 1989-1992, that white and red was a nice combo and it looked clean.
* Tony Stewart's Home Depot Pontiac, I loved the orange and the white original scheme it was eye catching and it screamed home improvement because the white outline resembled the roof of a house.
* Cartoon Network cars were always eye-catching when I was a kid
* Davey Allison's Texaco scheme and later Ernie Irvan drove it.
* Dale Jarrett's 88 Quality Care car was awesome and it got a lot of exposure with Dale winning the big events.
* Derrike Cope/Ernie Irvan Skittles scheme on the 36 that was a beautiful car and even though Ernie never finished top 5 in it, it was a nice scheme and it got thrown back to last year.
* ANY Valvoline scheme from that time was very sharp.
Those were really the ones that caught my eye.
I remember the Hot Wheels scheme, but Jeff Gordan really has sold it for me when it comes to visualizing a Nascar up front.
28 Texaco havoline cars in the 90’s are my favorites
Jimmy Spencer’s 1994 McDonald’s #27 was always my favorite. The crisp and clean red and yellow caught my eye and never failed to satisfy.
Rusty's miller scheme is pretty much the Colombian flag
Pretty good list. I totally agree with the 2, 88, 6, 24, etc. Missing, I think, is a Tide car. Those colors were great! Somewhat iconic.
My favorite was Jarrett’s/Labonte’s Interstate cars. Petty’s Hot Wheels car was absolutely awesome as well. Waltrip’s Western Auto cars were also badass, as were the Tide rides.
The Exide paint scheme was awesome
25 Budweiser. 24 Dupount. 5 Kellogg's. 28 Havoline. 3 Goodwrench. 88 Quality Care. 9 Cartoon Network. 44 Hotwheels. 10 Tide. 36 Skittles
what no Harry Gant Skoal Bandit or the Ken Schrader version,
or Spencer's 23 Winston or Camel smoking Joes cars.
I hope we see that mello yello scheme in diecast form someday
Jeff gordons 1999 rainbow monte carlo is a Beautiful race car! (In my opinion)
Like that Hot Wheels scheme.
I agree with everything, except no mention of Kenny Wallace 1998 lightening scheme. You took me down memory lane to my childhood with this video, I remember when all of those schemes ran.
Listening to this on my drive home, and I'm just patiently waiting for my dear Jeff Gordon to be mentioned and every time you announced the next I was like "Yeah but what about Gordon?" and I won't lie when you put him as number one I shouted "YESSSSSS!". Gordon was the reason I got into NASCAR.
Rainbow 24 got me into motorsports
This brought me back to my childhood and falling in love with cars and racing. Loved it. I loved Swervin’ Irvin’s #36 Skittles car too and of course my all time favorite, the car that to this day cemented my love for the brand, driver and racing, Ricky Rudd’s 1997 #10 Tide car.
I’m almost 30 now and Ricky is still a hero of mine. I only use Tide detergent haha. It’s crazy what these schemes can do to you. What a time for nascar. So glad I was able to watch and grow up in this era of nascar.
I don't think you could have done a better job on that Top 10. The nostalgia was through the roof
Please do the 2000s next. It's always great to see what paint schemes people like

And yet in the very first and very last picture you showed the one you missed. The Texaco car. ouch....i loved that look.
I don't know how he didn't have it on here
Straight up, I'm a NASCAR fan today because as a toddler I was enamored with the rainbow warrior car
I dont care at all anymore for nascar, not even sure why i was recommended this video, but i loved seeing all these schemes and cars that i remember watching. The old #6 Valvoline with Mark behind the wheel is always gonna be my favorite though.
I loved the Bobby Hamilton 1997 STP paint scheme.
David, in honor of throwback weekend you should do a diecast review as a throwback to your channel
The Exide Batteries and Mello Yello liveries just SCREAM 1990's. Also, I wasn't aware that BP own Amoco. Rule Britannia, indeed.
I don't think you can argue with #1 even if you attempt to bring up Dale Sr's GM Goodwrench car since that scheme didn't originate in the 90's, that came about in the 80's, and Richard Petty's STP scheme was the 70's... I believe the truly iconic scheme died around the end of the second Bush administration-beginning of the Obama administration (not trying to be political, just using that as a reference point in American history) since we've seen less full-time sponsorships, also sponsors changing their designs every year, example being the Target cars, Juan Pablo Montoya's first NASCAR Target scheme wasn't the same as Kyle Larson's final Target scheme, I think the last iconic scheme was Jimmie Johnson's Lowe's cars
Hard to argue that.
Ah the Corn Flakes Rooster...
And the Hot Wheels scheme is beautiful
Davey Blaney’s Amoco scheme was absolutely gorgeous. Great call.
I had a track car of the 44 Hot Wheels car. Thanks for the memory
Does it have to be Winston Cup? Cause I love Dale Jr’s 1998-99 AC Delco Busch Series paint scheme
I also like the Mello Yello car, too :)
That Jeff Gordon commercial, brought back some memories. Another one was with Dale Earnhardt. When he turned into the Looney Tunes character Tasmanian Devil.
Jeff Gordon was/is/will always be my favorite driver. Mostly because of this car, and partially because we share a birthday(I was born on his 24th bday). Also, I still have that Mark Martin Valvoline scheme as my light switch cover in my room.
surprised the Tabasco Fiasco car didn't make it.
IDK that I could make a top 5 list, but I know my number 1 will always be the #5 Kellogs car.
On the Mark Martin car, I never noticed that the design was made of V's until the throwback
You should do a video on one off paint schemes in the 90s please
Kyle petty had hotwheels sponsorship on the 44 right up to 2001, although Kyle ran the 45 in 01 after Adam passed and Buckshot Jones ran the 44
It went through 2000. Georgia Pacific took over in 2001 on the 44. Kyle started 2000 in it and Buckshot took over after Adam's death when Kyle ran the 45 in Adam's honor.
David C 2001 sponsorship wasn't full time but it was there images.app.goo.gl/NqZtHQp4h26wMEKf6
*raises hand* yessir, I was one of the kids who got hooked onto NASCAR thanks to the rainbows
Chad Little JohnDeere #1 paint scheme of all time
Liked your take on it David. Thanks for making this!
Them late 90s bodies 😍
You should do top 25 non-primary schemes of the 90s!
I loved all the Robert pressley paint schemes he was my favorite..
all the jasper 77 cars were good
i also like the city chevy car and the superflo scheme from days of thunder ward burtons Hardee's scheme looked pretty good
I am a simple guy....Give me Earnhardt's 3 1990 to 1997 (before they put the Plus on the hood)....Gotta give a tip of the hat to Kyle Petty's NWO car and Steve Grissoms WCW car.....
I actually liked the Plus version, but Dale was definitely better with the regular GM logos.
All of Earnhardts cars were amazing
I have the dale jarret interstate battery race car as a model
Jeff Gordon's Dupont rainbow warrior car is the first car I think of when I think of Nascar
Ready for every single NASCAR fan to hate me? No? Well I'm going to do it anyway! I think that Kyle Petty's mellow yellow paint scheme is better than Jeff Gordon's DuPont rainbow warrior scheme 😆
Not bad man nice list
1: Gordon Jurassic Park
2: Dale Earnhardt rainbow
3: Marlin Kodak car
4: Kyle petty mellow yellow
5: Jeff Gordon rainbow
6: Ted Musgrave Family tv car
7: Terry labonte iron Man car
8: Dale Jarrett interstate
9: bill Elliot Mac tonight
10: mark Martin Valvoline
I think Dale Earnhardt's car was badass
I didn't know the Rainbow Warrior scheme ran on another car other than Jeff Gordon until now.
I remember a truck race, I think at Bristol, one of the trucks was painted with the identical Jeff Gordon Dupont paint scheme. That truck wins the race, and guess who climbs out at the end in victory lane to pick up the trophy? Terry Labonte, dressed up in one of Gordon's fire suits. It looked so weird and out of place. I think that was the only truck race he won.
Scott Lagasse in the 24 Dupont truck and Terry Labonte in the 5 Dupont truck.
Gordon's scheme is why I, as a 6-year-old, decided to tune into NASCAR.
I’m actually lucky enough to have a Kyle Petty Mello Yellow diecast. It’s an off brand version that had stickers on it, but it is partly hand painted and metal, so I count it. Your list is pretty similar to mine. I’d change some of the orders around, add the lightning Exide car instead of the purple-blue fade, and add in a Rusty Wallace blue-white Miller scheme and a Bobby Hamilton 43 scheme for Rusty’s own scheme and Jarrett’s scheme.
Awesome video , you got # 1 right but I would add the 1997 all star race paint scheme to the list Jurassic Park the ride DuPont Chevrolet Monte Carlo .
My top 10 are
1. Steve park reverse paint scheme where the base paint was black and the lones were yellow
2. Dale Earnhardt sr peter max car
3. Kyle petty hot wheels car
4. Jeff Gordon rainbow warrior car
5. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Bud car
6. Dale Jarrett interstate batteries car
7. Terry labonte kelloggs car
8. Dale sr silver secret car
9. Bill elliott McDonald's car
10. Dale sr atlanta 1996 car
What about the #17 Western Auto car of Darrell Waltrip?
My all time favorite is Jeff Burtpns 1994 Cup series Raybestos Brakes car. Justin Haley threwback to it during yesterday's Xfinity race.
That's a rooster Dave.
Jeff Gordon didnt look like a superhero, he is a superhero
10. Ted Musgrave '96

6. #2 Miller
5. #20 Home Depot
4. #18 Interstate

5. Kyle petty mellow yellow
6. White n Blue deuce
7. KP hotwheels
8. Bill Elliott McDonald’s
9. Kenny Schrader skittles
10. Davey Allison black n red 28
Damn forgot Jeff Burton exide. Honorable mention
I can’t argue with any of these choices. It also wouldn’t bother me if the 3 paint scheme, the Texaco scheme, and the wood brothers scheme was included.
The green yellow green #46 city Chevrolet sponsored car is 1 of my all time favorite paint schemes
My first experience with NASCAR was with the ps1 videogame back in 2002, the car in the box? Jeff Gordon 24, with Dupont and flames
Dude, I have a diecast of the Kyle Petty Mello Yello car. It's from the early '90s. He's my all-time favorite driver.
P.S. I tweeted him a while back and asked him his favorite paint scheme that he ran.....it was the Mello Yello car! lol
He's mine too. I met him at the 2003 Rockingham spring race and I have him a die cast I'd painted that was half his Hot Wheels and half Adam's Sprint car. I have a photo of him and I with it. Afterward, I sent Austin a note saying if Kyle wanted to auction the car off for the Camp, I'm ok with that. He wrote back immediately and said he'd 'talk to dad." A few days later, I got a note from Kyle who said, "I'm keeping it. Thanks again."
Pretty fitting my 2 favorite cars ended up 1, and 2. BTW Johnny Benson also ran the valvoline paint splattered paint scheme in 01, but never won though, but at least the car looked good, lol
#1. Jeff Gordon flame DuPont #2. Dale jr Budweiser #3. Tony Stewart Home Depot
An awesome throwback for the #22 Shell car would be for them to throwback to a business partner from Australia Dick Johnson who has had Shell sponsorship since 1987
