Over the period of a NASCAR Cup Series season, the cars often go through a number of livery changes. The Hendrick Motorsports team is no different, and neither is Kyle Larson. Recently, the driver spoke about what his favorite livery of the season is. This is largely because he has raced in quite a few resplendent cars.

He said, “We got a lot of cool paint schemes this year. I think, with the meaning behind it, our main Hendrick Cars scheme has been probably my favorite. Just to be able to honor Rick Hendrick in his legacy and to get some wins in that car has been really cool. Our Valvoline paint scheme has been really cool, and looking forward to running one in a couple of weeks.”

What kind of paint schemes did Kyle Larson run?

The standard Hendrick Motorsports #5 livery has blue as the primary color and white as the secondary color. Aside from that, the car also boasts of red edge decals as the tertiary color. For the Coca Cola 600 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, Larson had a new sponsor called MetroTech. Naturally, this prompted another livery change or white, sky blue, and dark blue.
