The NASCAR Cup Series season continues on Sunday with the Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, which is available on fuboTV with a free trial. This race will serve as the third straight trip to Florida for the drivers and yet another opportunity to secure a spot in the playoffs. The high-profile event will also provide them with even more opportunities to show off bright and colorful paint schemes.

Sunday’s race will feature several unique designs, a few of which reflect new partnerships in motorsports. There will be advertisements for chocolate whiskey, hot dogs, and delicious candy treats. Even the pole-sitter in Denny Hamlin will go away from his standard FedEx paint scheme for this race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Here are some of the best designs that will (hopefully) travel 400 miles on Sunday under the Florida sun.

Denny Hamlin

The driver of the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Camry, Hamlin will lead the field to the green flag after winning the Busch Pole. He will do so while showing off a new paint scheme. The car will feature the FedEx colors like usual, but the design will highlight the small business grant contest that the shipping company is currently running. One lucky owner will win $50,000 to help grow their business.

Ryan Newman

Ryan Newman, the driver of the No. 6 Roush Fenway Racing Ford Mustang, has a prominent sponsor in Oscar Mayer. The hot dog company has partnered with the veteran driver for standout designs in the past, and the trend will continue at Homestead-Miami. Newman will drive the mustard-colored car that features a hot dog sitting in a bun.

Quin Houff

The driver of the No. 00 StarCom Racing Chevrolet Camaro, Quin Houff recently landed a new sponsor in 8 Ball Whiskey. Now he will show off a liquor-inspired design while driving around the Florida speedway. The black and white scheme features an 8 ball on the hood, as well as a bottle on the rear fender.

Brad Keselowski

When Brad Keselowski heads onto Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday, he will do so in a fitting paint scheme. The No. 2 Team Penske Ford Mustang will feature a blue and white scheme that highlights Dent Wizard. This sponsor advertises smart repairs, something that many NASCAR drivers have needed through two weeks of the season. The Daytona 500, in particular, featured several pile-ups that completely changed the outcome of the season-opening race.

BJ McLeod

When BJ McLeod heads to Homestead-Miami Speedway in the No. 78 Ford Mustang, he will do so with the perfect paint scheme to fit the location. The Live Fast Motorsports car will feature a bright paint scheme that heavily features pink, a design that matches with the Dixie Vodka 400’s host city. The scheme also has some similarities to the Miami Heat’s neon Vice Wave jerseys.

Kyle Busch

Kyle Busch, the driver of the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Camry, showed off a new design in 2020. He unveiled the M&M’s Fudge Brownie car, which primarily featured a purple background. This design appeared during the 2020 Dixie Vodka 400 and will return for the 2021 trip to Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Ryan Preece

The No. 37 Chevrolet Camaro, driven by Ryan Preece, channeled an iconic wrestler for Sunday’s race. Instead of a primarily blue paint scheme, the car turned yellow as the race team snapped into a Slim Jim. The team also celebrated by posting a photo that showed the Homestead-Miami Speedway logo, as well as “Macho Man” Randy Savage holding some Slim Jims.
