The shiny-looking green-and-black color scheme on his No.5 Chevrolet will be sponsored courtesy of NationsGuard, whose own logo sports similar shades. It also marks the Larson’s team’s first sponsor for the upcoming 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season.

A statement on the team website read, “Kyle Larson, who will make his Hendrick Motorsports debut in the Feb. 14 DAYTONA 500, now has his first paint scheme of 2021 for the No. 5 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE team.”
