The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season is almost here and that means two hot and fresh paint schemes for Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick. These schemes are straight out of the fryer and ready for your eyeballs to consume.
Last year, the Bubba Wallace scheme was lackluster. The weird grey color they put on it just felt… uninspired. This year, they are bringing another dark scheme, but using black instead of grey. The difference is night and day.
Meanwhile, Reddick is getting the red-and-white scheme. So you have the french fries for Bubba and the ketchup from Reddick. It’s a pairing unlike any other.

23XI Racing has two drivers who seem to have fun with one another. They are always willing to do the goofy and fun things that their team asks of them. When it comes to being McDonald’s drivers, you kind of have to be fun and silly.
The black is an improvement over the grey of last year. However, I think Reddick gets the win over Bubba Wallace for the best McDonald’s scheme in 2024. Maye on the track, things look different. For now, that’s how I’m going to rank these two against each other.
In his career, Bubba Wallace has finished P2 at the Daytona 500 twice. That is probably the worst feeling for any driver. To come up so close in The Great American Race but so far from it.
This year, I think Wallace has a better chance of knocking down that door and getting his 500 win. Now, it isn’t as easy as I’m going to make it sound. Anything can happen between the green flag and the checkered flag.
Looking at the additions that Toyota has made this year gives me a little more confidence in these cars. Legacy Motor Club gives Toyota three more cars to draft with this season. Those new front ends are supposed to help these drivers succeed on these drafting tracks as well.
Really, it isn’t just Bubba with improved chances, it is all of the Toyota drivers. Going from six cars on the track to nine is a big deal. That is if Jimmie Johnson qualifies his way into the big race, which he should.
Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick have their focus on Daytona. They are hoping that one of them ends up in Victory Lane by the time the race comes to an end.
