RFK Racing set to run Ken Block tribute scheme at Phoenix test

RFK Racing has announced that it will run a familiar paint scheme paying tribute to legendary motorsports pioneer Ken Block on the No. 6 Ford Mustang of Brad Keselowski when the team hits the track Tuesday for a test at Phoenix Raceway. Block, a staple in the motorsports community, died on Jan. 2 in a snowmobile accident at the age of 55.

The RFK Racing paint scheme pays homage to Block’s dazzling 2020 FIA World Rallycross Championship (World RX) car that boasted bright colors and his familiar Hoonigan logo. Last week, Ford Performance also announced that each of its race teams across all series will honor Block with a special decal to start the season. During his lengthy motorsports career, Block raced under the Ford banner for 11 years.
