NASCAR: The 10 Most Ridiculous Paint Jobs of 2010

Brian ShannonSep 27, 2010

Ridiculous paint jobs have been a part of NASCAR for some time now, and this year is no exception.

Many sponsors want to leave their mark with their television audience and at the race track, so what better way to do that then make their drivers car as colorful as possible.

Here are the 10 most ridiculous paint jobs in NASCAR of the past year.

David Gilliland

Gilliland's No. 38 has a lot of things wrong with it, but the pink is at the top of the list, and that is why the Taco Bell Ford starts the rankings off.

David Reutimann

Reutimann's No. 00 has a lot going on to begin with, but it's his orange numbers that puts his car over the top.

Mark Martin

LOUDON, NH - SEPTEMBER 18:  Mark Martin, driver of the #5 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet, drives through the garage area during practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on September 18, 2010 in Loudon, New Hampshire.

Mark Martin and his No. 5 GoDaddy.com vehicle is bright, that is the only way to describe it. Martin's car looks like it belongs under a black light, not on the race track.

Kevin Harvick

Harvick's car doesn't have the neon colors that Martin's does, but it definitely stands out on the track. It's not a bad looking color scheme, just a little too much yellow.

Jamie McMurray

DOVER, DE - SEPTEMBER 26:  Jamie McMurray, driver of the #1 McDonalds's Chevrolet, races Mark Martin, driver of the #5 Delphi/GoDaddy.com Chevrolet, during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway on September 26, 2010 in Dover

Did you ever think you would see the golden arches on the race track?

Well, now you can, when Jamie McMurray takes to the road. The color has nothing to do with this car making the list, it is all about the giant McDonalds logo on the hood.

AJ Allmendinger

BROOKLYN, MI - AUGUST 13:  AJ Allmendinger, driver of the #43 Insignia HDTV Ford, drives on track during practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series CARFAX 400 at Michigan International Speedway on August 13, 2010 in Brooklyn, Michigan.  (Photo by Rusty Jar

There are worse looking cars on the track than Allmendinger's No. 43, but not many. Allmendinger's car is a funky green color, that definitely stands out, for the wrong reasons.

Carl Edwards

Carl Edwards' car isn't all that bad, until you notice that the blue trim and the same funky green that graces Allmendinger's car is also on the No. 99.

Edwards would have been better off with just the black and blue, but there are too many colors going on and its making the duck nauseous.

Scott Speed

Scott Speed looks like a giant Red Bull can when he is racing around the track in his No. 82, and that is certainly good enough to get his vehicle on the list.

Travis Kvapil

The No, 38 car looks like something out of a cartoon or the sea as a Pirate might prefer. Either way, Kvapil's car has one of the most ridiculous paint jobs in NASCAR.

Regan Smith

Now we come to the most ridiculous paint job in NASCAR, and it belongs to the No. 78 of Regan Smith.

It has every color you could ever want on a car, but no color seems to be featured any more prevalently than another.
