Gold Line: Brad Keselowski 2024 'Castrol' Ford Mustang

In 2022, Brad Keselowski made perhaps, one of the biggest decisions of his life. After 11 years of full-time Cup racing, (all of which were out of the Team Penske garage) he would step away for a new opportunity. That move was an ownership role at the company formerly known as 'Roush Fenway,' now known as 'RFK' or 'Roush Fenway Keselowski racing.' Brad is a natural leader and his goal for winning as an owner-driver was finally realized after 110 starts. He won in dramatic fashion at the legendary Darlington Raceway in this epic livery. For more on this throwback livery, read on.

The RKF number 6 Ford Mustang Dark Horse throwback livery honors the Castrol TMD Toyota Supra GT. The Toyota part is a little unusual, but the steadfast partnership with Castrol is the main idea here. The car has a base coat of white. The Christmas red and green flourishes on the car perfectly mimic the style found on the iconic Supra GT. The numbers on the Mustang are chrome plated to stick with the usual numbering style of the RFK cars. The RFK Mustang also features a black splitter, black rocker panels, and a black spoiler. The finer features include the usual RFK team design on the bottom rear of the door panels, associate sponsors, like Goodyear, Sunoco, Fastenal, and Buildsubmarines.com are also visible and present. The car looks great, this copy is obviously not the 'race won' version.

Notes:
​Lionel did a nice job replicating the design. This is a top 10 RFK livery for 2024 in my opinion. It marks major moment in Brad's career, and with some of the rounder and swerve detailing, the car was carried out well. There are a few minor issues, but I'll get to them in the detailed review, which can be found here.
