A week after his Team Penske teammate Brad Keselowski revealed his Darlington throwback look on FS1's RaceHub, Joey Logano has done the same.
The scheme honors the first paint scheme that Shell had when Bobby Labonte piloted the No. 44 to the company's first NASCAR victory in 1996 at Nashville Speedway in what is now known as the NASCAR XFINITY Series. Interestingly, Labonte drove the same paint scheme to Victory Lane at Darlington in 1998 in the same series.
"I think it's a no-brainer to help celebrate Shell’s 20th anniversary of NASCAR involvement and run this cool paint scheme at Darlington on Labor Day," Logano said in a team release. "It's pretty neat that Shell is celebrating 20 years in NASCAR and even cooler that Bobby (Labonte) won at Darlington Raceway with this car, so it's a huge honor for myself and everyone at Team Penske to run this look.
"Heritage is a main theme in everything we're doing this year and it's been great to have the support from Shell-Pennzoil in running paint schemes to help us commemorate the heritage of our team and the heritage of our sport."
This marks Darlington's second straight year -- in a five-year plan -- hosting a throwback-themed event for the famed Bojangles' Southern 500 (Sept. 4, 6 p.m. ET, NBC, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
