PITTSBURGH & MOORESVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PPG (NYSE: PPG) and Team Penske today announced that the iconic PPG livery will return for nine major races across the NTT® INDYCAR® SERIES and NASCAR® Cup Series as Team Penske celebrates its 60th anniversary. The PPG colors will be showcased with an expanded lineup of drivers from Team Penske, including Josef Newgarden, Scott McLaughlin and Austin Cindric. In addition, Josh Berry will represent PPG with Wood Brothers Racing, which maintains a technical alliance with Team Penske.

Josh Berry, driving the No. 21 PPG Ford Mustang Dark Horse for Wood Brothers Racing at the 2025 Brickyard 400, is set to return to the iconic race in 2026.

Back-to-back Indianapolis 500 Champion and two-time INDYCAR SERIES Champion Newgarden will pilot the No. 2 PPG Chevrolet in five INDYCAR events:

• Java House Grand Prix of Arlington on March 15 at Arlington, Texas
• Children’s of Alabama Indy Grand Prix on March 29 at Birmingham, Ala.
• XPEL Grand Prix at Road America on June 21 at Elkhart Lake, Wis.
• Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio on July 5 at Lexington, Ohio
• Streets of Markham on Aug. 16 at Markham, Ontario, Canada

McLaughlin will return to the PPG colors in the No. 3 Chevrolet for two INDYCAR events: the Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington, D.C. on Aug. 23 and the Milwaukee Mile Race 2 on Aug. 30 at West Allis, Wis. In the NASCAR Cup Series, Cindric will drive the No. 2 PPG Ford Mustang Dark Horse at the AdventHealth 400 on April 19 at Kansas City, Kan., while Berry will race the No. 21 PPG Ford Mustang Dark Horse at the Brickyard 400, presented by PPG on July 26 at Indianapolis.

“It’s awesome to be back in the PPG car,” said McLaughlin. “I first drove this livery in 2021 when we introduced the updated design, and it quickly became a fan favorite. Driving it again during Team Penske’s 60th anniversary season makes it even more special, and I can’t wait to represent PPG at both Washington, D.C. and Milwaukee.”

“We’re thrilled to be part of Team Penske’s milestone season and to see our colors on multiple cars and drivers,” said Bill Shaw, PPG global business director, strategic initiatives, Automotive Refinish. “This expanded lineup reflects the strength of our decades-long partnership and showcases PPG’s vibrant colors on some of the most iconic tracks in motorsports.”

PPG will also continue as an associate partner across Team Penske’s INDYCAR and NASCAR programs, reinforcing a relationship that began in 1984 and is one of the longest-standing partnerships in motorsports. In the INDYCAR Series, PPG will be featured on the No. 12 Chevrolet driven by David Malukas, who joins the team for the 2026 season. In the NASCAR Cup Series, PPG will appear on the No. 12 Ford Mustang Dark Horse, driven by 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney, and the No. 22 Ford Mustang Dark Horse, driven by three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Joey Logano.
