Brad Keselowski and RFK Racing will be paying tribute to Ken Block, an icon in the motorsports world, during the two-day NASCAR Cup Series organizational test at Phoenix Raceway.
Keselowski, who pilots the No. 6 Ford Mustang for RFK Racing in the NASCAR Cup Series, will participate in Tuesday and Wednesday’s organized test session at the one-mile oval while carrying a livery that honors Ken Block.
The design is structured to resemble the Hoonigan Racing entry that Block made famous throughout his rallycross career, a scheme that is now cemented as part of his legacy.
A legend.
An icon.
An inspiration to millions.@keselowski's @Ford Mustang for this week's test at @phoenixraceway will pay tribute to the late @kblock43 ?? pic.twitter.com/OdlpiuQTOi— RFK Racing (@RFKracing) January 23, 2023
Block – a globally-recognized name in motorsports, and co-founder of Hoonigan and DC Shoes – was tragically killed in a snowmobile accident earlier this month, at the age of 55.
The announcement of a tribute scheme from Keselowski and RFK Racing comes two days after the announcement from Ford Performance, a long-time partner of Block’s racing efforts, that all of its teams across all series, will start the season with a decal to honor Block.
Ken, all of our race teams across all series are gonna bring you along for one final ride to start the season. We miss you. #43FOREVER pic.twitter.com/RgoBcZzi2f

At this time, it is unknown if Brad Keselowski and RFK Racing will bring this paint scheme honoring Ken Block to a NASCAR Cup Series event in 2023, or if this will be a one-off for the Phoenix test session.
