Matt Sullivan/NASCAR via Getty Images(DARLINGTON, S.C.) — Kasey Kahne is one of the drivers who will be turning back the clock this weekend at South Carolina’s Darlington Raceway.
Hendrick Motorsports Wednesday revealed a throwback paint scheme that will be featured on Kahne’s car. The red-and-white No. 5 HendrickRideAlong.com Chevrolet SS will pay homage to the car driven by Geoff Bodine in 1984, the first year Hendrick Motorsports — then known as All-Star Racing — participated in the Cup Series.
In a story posted on the organization’s website, Kahne says it’s “neat” to take part in the tribute.
“There has been so much history at Hendrick Motorsports with wins and championships, and to go back to when it started with All-Star Racing, Geoff Bodine and kind of that paint scheme — to drive that car is great,” he adds.
You can check out the paint scheme on Hendrick Motorsports’ social media sites or on HendrickMotorsports.com.
Many Cup teams are using throwback paints schemes this weekend to honor the move of the Bojangles’ Southern 500 race at Darlington back to Labor Day weekend.
