Those two drivers were the RFK Racing duo of Brad Keselowski and Chris Buescher.

“I don’t think this got enough credit, I think this was pretty cool,” Chase Elliott said about the seven-timer’s paint scheme while Ryan Blaney claimed, “It’s pretty gangster. Yeah, I mean, no one else can do that. No one else can combine those two schemes, because no one else is a seven-timer, he is the only guy to do it.”
