Top 5 standout paint schemes at the 2025 Phoenix NASCAR Cup championship race

The NASCAR Cup Series is set to return to Phoenix Raceway for its final race of the 2025 season this weekend. Hendrick Motorsports' William Byron and Kyle Larson joined Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin and Chase Briscoe in the Championship 4 last Sunday after the last elimination race at Martinsville.

Here are five of the standout paint schemes for Sunday's Cup championship race on the short track.

#5 Ricky Stenhouse Jr. in No. 47 Real American Beer Chevrolet

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will enter the Championship race with a blue, white, and red paint theme. The HYAK Motorsports No. 47 Chevy driver never disappoints with bold designs and will feature a "200% American" scheme by his Real American Beer sponsor for the Cup season finale.

Stenhouse Jr. missed the playoffs this season after making the postseason with two wins in the past two years.

#4 Chase Briscoe No. 19 Bass Pro Shops Toyota

Chase Briscoe got his first Championship 4 spot this season after moving to Joe Gibbs Racing's No. 19 Toyota. He will drive the classic Bass Pro Shops paint scheme this weekend.

"He's fishing for a big one this weekend," the team wrote on Instagram.

Briscoe collected his first NASCAR Cup win at Phoenix in 2022, but has the lowest average finish at the 1-mile oval in Arizona among Championship 4 drivers.

#3 William Byron No. 24 Axalta Chevrolet

William Byron and his Hendrick Motorsports Chevy will sport Axalta's red and blue colors this weekend. The Regular Season Championship winner won the Round of 8 elimination race at Martinsville last week and will enter the Phoenix finale with one previous win.

Byron ties with Kyle Larson and Briscoe with three Cup wins this season.

#2 Kyle Busch in No. 8's Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen Chevrolet

Kyle Busch and his No. 8 Chevrolet will sport a special Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen scheme for Phoenix. The Richard Childress Racing driver is yet to break his career-longest winless streak with a crew chief change earlier this month.

#1 Daniel Suarez in No. 99 Trackhouse Chevrolet

Daniel Suarez, who will compete in his last NASCAR Cup race in Trackhouse Racing's No. 88 Chevy, has the boldest paint scheme for Phoenix.

The Mexican driver joined Trackhouse as its first NASCAR Cup driver in 2021 and helped the team win two races. His car will feature Mexican artist, Juan Latapi's "Thank you Daniel" design for his 180th race with the team.

Daniel Suárez will move to Spire Motorsports in 2026.

Meanwhile, the 2025 NASCAR Cup Championship race will start at 3:34 pm ET on Sunday, November 2. A single-lap qualifying and practice session will take place on Saturday.
