As far as NASCAR paint schemes go, unless they’re flashy, different (like when one driver had his face on the car, twice) or designed by someone famous, it’s easy for all of them to blend together sometimes.
But Bubba Wallace’s No. 23 23XI Racing Toyota will surely stand out at Nashville Superspeedway this weekend for an awesome reason: His adorable dog will be on the car.
In a trend that we here at For The Win encourage other NASCAR teams to adopt, Wallace’s dog, Asher, will have his face on the side of the car just ahead of the No. 23 for Sunday’s Ally 400 (3:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN).

Wallace said it best. According to the 27-year-old driver’s Instagram, Asher recently made his TV debut appearing in a PetSmart/Door Dash ad, and now he’s on a race car.

And seriously, who wouldn’t want more dogs incorporated into paint schemes? Dogs on cars would probably attract more eyes and attention than dogless paint schemes, and including their likeness would *almost* be like driving around with your dog hanging out the car window.
Since Wallace will have Asher on his No. 23 car this weekend, here’s a look at the two pals:
And this might be one of the cutest dog videos ever:
