Team Penske and MillerCoors, which enjoy one of the longest-running sponsorship relationships in NASCAR, will celebrate the 25th anniversary of that partnership with a number of special paint schemes for 2015.
Brad Keselowski’s No. 2 Penske Racing Ford is carrying a commemorative 25th anniversary Miller Lite logo for the first time this weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

In addition, the team on Thursday announced two special “retro” paint schemes that it will use later this year:
• The black and gold Miller Genuine Draft paint scheme that appeared on Rusty Wallace’s car in the 1990s will be used for the Aug. 16 race at Michigan. Miller came aboard as a Penske-Wallace sponsor during the 1991 season.
