Two bold looks, 18 races, one epic season—William Byron and the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports team are set to hit the track in style in 2025. Longtime sponsor Axalta and returning partner Raptor Coatings will split the paint scheme duties, giving Byron two distinct looks as he aims for another dominant season in the NASCAR Cup Series.
Axalta’s Signature Flames Return
Axalta, one of the most recognizable sponsors in NASCAR, will once again back the No. 24 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for multiple races in 2025. The iconic flame design, a nod to Jeff Gordon’s legendary schemes, is expected to make a return with a fresh new twist. Byron has already found success in Axalta colors, scoring multiple wins with the paint scheme over the past few seasons.
Axalta-backed races will include:
• Daytona 500 (February)
• Coca-Cola 600 (Charlotte)
• Brickyard 400 (Indianapolis)
• And more key events throughout the season.
Raptor Coatings Brings Tough, Sleek Look
Byron’s No. 24 will also feature Raptor Coatings, the durable protective coating brand that joined Hendrick Motorsports in 2023. Their sleek black-and-yellow scheme will return for select races, giving the car an aggressive, stealth-like appearance.
Raptor-backed races will include:
• Talladega (Spring and Fall)
• Martinsville Night Race
• Phoenix Championship Weekend (if Byron is in the Final Four)
Byron Aims for Another Strong Season
Coming off a career-best year in 2024, Byron and crew chief Rudy Fugle are expected to be championship contenders again in 2025. With two bold paint schemes, a fast No. 24 Chevrolet, and the momentum of Hendrick Motorsports behind him, Byron is set to make a statement every time he hits the track.
The question now: Which of these looks will take him to Victory Lane first?
