The start of the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season is just a few weeks away, and that means teams are beginning to release some of their paint schemes for the year.
But for now, we’re only interested in the schemes for the season-opening Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway’s iconic 2.5-mile track. It’s the biggest race of the year and is currently scheduled for Sunday, February 14.
However, between new sponsors and schemes and drivers with new rides, it’s all a lot to keep track of. So we’re here to help with a running list of announced (and teased) paint schemes for the 2021 Daytona 500, and we’ll continue to update it as more designs are released.
