NASCAR Origins 560x28070 years ago, in 1949, the NASCAR Strictly Stock Series debuted, featuring eight races and a total of 33 drivers throughout the season, which ran from June through mid-October. Some of the world-famous tracks from today also debuted during that season. Charlotte, Daytona Beach, Martinsville, and North Wilkesboro were four of the tracks that are still around today. North Wilkesboro ended its NASCAR run in the late 90’s.

The vehicles in 1949 were not anywhere close to the modified racing machines that they have now become. Back then, if you drove a 49′ Lincoln, that is literally the vehicle you brought to the track. In fact, the term stock car refers to a vehicle that has not been modified from its original factory condition or configurations. Of course, that would change over time. Drivers would actually drive the race cars to the track since they were legit stock cars.

HD Nascar 560x280Over time, stock cars would become more regulated and customized while also adding a ton of safety features like the HANS device, fire suits, and safer safety belts. As far as the safety side of the vehicle, those additions were huge upgrades for NASCAR. But the one of the most noticeable improvements to stock cars through the years is the paint schemes.

Sponsored paint schemes in NASCAR have become such a big part that a driver might have several different paint schemes on their vehicles throughout the season, usually for the bigger races like the Daytona 500 and special events like holidays or anniversaries.

As the 2018 NASCAR season approaches us, we decided to rank every single paint scheme that has been released to the public. If there are any we missed, they were special schemes that were added later on. Enjoy.
