Today's Paint Scheme Profile takes a look at some of the paint schemes that drivers will be racing this weekend at Richmond International Raceway. The Richmond races are always action-packed and competitive and being under the lights there provides sponsors a great opportunity to pull out some special paint schemes.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s #88 Chevrolet will be featuring a special Drive the Guard scheme. The Drive the Guard car features a red, white and blue color scheme and is promoting a National Guard initiative to assist applicants with earning an income through truck driving training.
Another team that will be running special paint is the #6 Roush-Fenway Ford of David Ragan. Ragan will be under the lights in a silver based scheme featuring UPS Freight. The UPS Freight scheme has a nice looking color combination. The silver base of the car should look great under the lights and should make the #6 one of the most visible cars in the field Saturday night.
The #47 of Marcos Ambrose will be running a special Bush's Baked Beans scheme on Saturday. Marcus cars' have a really great sponsorship package and this Bush's Baked Beans car will be another solid scheme for this team. The #55 of Michael Waltrip will be running a special scheme promoting the NAPA Adaptive One Brake Pads brand. Reed Sorensen and the #43 RIchard Petty Motorsports team will be running a special McDonald's McCafe scheme, promoting McDonald's new in-restaurant coffee shops.
A few other teams running special paint on Saturday night include the #31 of Jeff Burton (Prilosec), #41 Jeremy Mayfield (Small Sponsor.com), #11 Denny Hamlin (Fedex Ground), #5 Mark Martin (Cheez-it), #33 Clint Bowyer (BB&T), #19 Elliott Sadler (Stanley Tools) and #18 Kyle Busch (Combos). The #12 of David Stremme will also be running a special Star Trek paint scheme to promote the new movie that hits theaters next weekend.

Cher,
I mentioned Jeremy's scheme in the article but I did not have an image to use. If anyone has the image, I'll post it right away.
