Daytona 500 2017: Who’s driving with which paint schemes?

Find out what company’s colors and logo will adorn the car of your favorite driver during the Daytona 500.

It wasn’t that long ago that you knew exactly what the car of any driver in the top NASCAR series would look like from week to week. Primary sponsors were in for the whole season, or pretty close to it, and they definitely wouldn’t miss the Daytona 500.

Times have changed, and with them the economic realities of the sport. Very few teams have sponsors on the hood for 30-plus races, and even some Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series superstars have two or more companies split the primary sponsor duties.

On top of that, the Daytona 500 field often features a few entries from teams running limited schedules that don’t even secure sponsorship until Speedweeks roll around. Add it all up and the first race of the season can be a confusing one in terms of who’s sporting which paint schemes.

With that in mind, a guide of sorts is in order. Here is the complete paint scheme list, in numerical order, for Sunday’s running of the Daytona 500:
