As NASCAR heads to Phoenix this weekend, Bubba Wallace and 23XI Racing already have their sights set on Las Vegas.
The team has unveiled a brand-new U.S. Air Force paint scheme for next Sunday’s Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Announcing Wallace’s No. 23 Toyota’s new look, 23XI Racing posted on X, “The No. 23 team is gearing up for flight in Las Vegas. We are bringing stealth speed with Air Force this year in the new B-2 Stealth Bomber-inspired scheme.”
Fans Love Bubba Wallace’s New Paint Scheme
For the second straight year, Wallace is teaming up with the U.S. Air Force to drive an Air Force-inspired car in a Cup Series event.
Fans quickly took to social media to share their excitement.
Seeing the new paint scheme, one fan said, “Oh my god, it’s beautiful.”
Another fan, an Air Force veteran, shared, “As an Active Duty Air Force Veteran and current Texas Air National Guard member… This paint scheme is AWESOME!”

“This is so subtle but sick at the same time. The scheme captures the beauty of the B-2 so well. The U.S. Air Force sponsorship has created some incredible schemes for Bubba,”
added another fan.
“Gonna be so stealth on the track they won’t see him coming!!!” wrote one NASCAR fan.
Just bring it to Kansas in the fall as well, since that's the B-2's home track!

“Just bring it to Kansas in the fall as well, since that’s the B-2’s home track,” another commented.
Wallace’s History With the Air Force
Wallace has a long-standing relationship with the U.S. Air Force. Before his partnership with 23XI Racing, he drove an Air Force-sponsored car from 2018 to 2020 while racing for Richard Petty Motorsports. These patriotic tendencies run deep in the motorsports world, particularly NASCAR, so it’s no surprise to see fans across the sport appreciate his new look.
The partnership continued last year when Wallace piloted a similar black Toyota at Dover Motor Speedway in April 2024.
Much like the B-2 Stealth Bomber, Wallace’s Toyota Camry will be tough to spot on the track.
While the Air Force paint scheme didn’t bring Wallace much luck last April, he’ll be hoping to change that this time around in Las Vegas.
