As it turns out, the articles in this series might number over a dozen by the time we’re done. I’m trying real hard to not make these obnoxiously long, which becomes an issue for certain seasons that had a bunch of movie schemes (see several years in the 2000s, which had nine to 10 each). So I’m trying to keep that in check and not publish articles that require loads of scrolling for y’all. We’ll keep things going with 2000 through 2002, where we had nine movies promoted via stock car livery.

This is an idea I had years ago, but I’m finally putting pen to paper — or, rather, keyboard keys to computer screen — on it. I wanted to create a sort of living document of NASCAR movie schemes, especially after undertaking a full-on research project in the summer of 2020 to dig up as many as I could (I was very bored) and unearthing a good 100+. By my count, after 2024, there have been 115 movies represented on paint schemes to some extent or another.

It seems only apt that the first big-budget, serious racing movie in a while — excluding Ford v Ferrari for reasons I’ll explain — comes out in a year where quite a few motorsports movies are celebrating anniversaries. I’m talking about F1, of course, which had a TV spot air during Super Bowl LIX and projects the biggest mainstream star power in a motorsports movie since Days of Thunder did it with Tom Cruise 35 years ago.

The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season is here. Cars will take to the track this weekend for the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium on Feb. 2, and the 67th running of the Daytona 500 is less than three weeks away. With a wide array of driver and team changes from the offseason alongside more minor personnel tweaks — or even a few lineups that stayed exactly the same — there’s a lot to discuss as the Cup Series moves into the fourth season of the Next Gen era.
