The current scheme for Joey Logano’s 22 in 2016 is below, coupled with the Penske photo variation. The 22 scheme has remained virtually unchanged since, even surviving more than a few driver changes. The rear originally featured a set of red “spikes” on the bumper and would be permanently removed in 2013 with the Gen6 Ford. The scheme was sharp, and the colors were bright.
