Brad Keselowski has unveiled his throwback Castrol paint scheme for the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway on May 12.
Keselowski, picking between three iconic Castrol paint schemes, went with one inspired by the TOM’S Super GT, a car made famous in the top level of Japanese sports car racing.
With a new paint scheme on his No. 6 Ford, Keselowski will hope to continue his success at Darlington. Keselowski won at Darlington in 2018 and has finished P7, P4 and P6 in his last three starts at the racetrack. The 2012 Cup Series champion is riding a 109-race winless streak dating back to 2021, though he has been close to snapping the streak this season.
Keselowski finished P4 at Phoenix, P3 at Bristol, P2 at Texas and P2 at Talladega. He’s coming off a P30 result in this past Sunday’s Würth 400 at Dover. Keselowski fell out of a playoff spot after his disappointing run at Dover.
“I screwed up,” Keselowski tweeted after the race. “Should have finished top-10, but spun out and damaged the car. Learned some things, really excited to apply them over the next few weeks.”
Brad Keselowski growing frustrated with lack of speed this season
Keselowski said after Talladega that he’s frustrated with the lack of speed from his car this season.
“Honestly, I am more frustrated than anything because I feel like we have a great team and we don’t have the speed to go with it,” Keselowski said. “We are doing all we can do to overcome that. The driver in me is frustrated because I feel like these are races I am good enough to win but don’t have the speed enough to do it. The owner in me is mad as hell because it is my fault for not making the cars faster.
“I am still proud of the team that we have with the pit stops and strategy and execution to put ourselves in position to get a finish we probably didn’t deserve but earned with some never-give-up spirit. It was a good job of executing with what we had. It is frustrating. You can still get good finishes by running good smart days, executing on pit road, and having great strategy and I am proud of our team for doing that today.”
