NASCAR fans love a good paint scheme, but no matter how flashy or colorful or sleek a paint scheme is, nothing compares with a driver racing around the track with their own face leading the way on the hood of a car.
And thanks to Corey LaJoie, the NASCAR world is getting treated to his face on his car… again.
For Sunday’s Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway — the fourth race of the 2021 season and first of this year’s abbreviated West Coast swing — LaJoie’s No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet features a light blue and gold paint scheme with the 29-year-old driver’s face planted on the hood. Specifically, he’s got a Built Bar in his mouth, advertising his primary sponsor for this weekend’s race.
It’s really something special.
My friends at @bar_built wanted a scheme that would POP. Now here we are again. Ready to let it rip at @LVMotorSpeedway this weekend! pic.twitter.com/RjxdjuBG9C

However, it’s still comfortably in second place behind LaJoie’s previous scheme with his face on it.
Back for the 2019 Daytona 500, he ran this spectacular look when he was driving the No. 32 Ford:
Come on! This scheme is fantastic, especially with the grille serving as LaJoie’s mouth. It’s basically perfect.
This time around, LaJoie probably hopes he has a better result with his second face scheme car. In the 2019 Daytona 500, LaJoie damaged his car early in the race and ultimately finished 18th and seven laps down.
Either way, we hope this isn’t the last of LaJoie’s face paint schemes, no matter what he says.
You don’t want to see version 3 and 4. https://t.co/bogxeaSmCm
