The NAPA No. 9 will continue with its blue/white color combination, but the big changes come along the door. After going almost fully blue in 2025, the car will bring back some white along the door while including a blue stripe with yellow outlines down the side of the car.

Chase Elliott has raced with backing from NAPA since he first entered the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts (formerly Xfinity) Series in 2014 with JR Motorsports. He won the championship that year, and went on to have tremendous success at the Cup level with Hendrick Motorsports. He's won 21 races at the highest level of the sport (14 of which came with NAPA as the primary sponsor), and became a champion in 2020.
Elliott was recently named the sport's Most Popular Driver for the eighth consecutive year. The 30-year-old ended the 2025 season eighth in the standings with two victories -- one at his home track in Atlanta and another in the playoffs at Kansas.
