Castrol, the Official Motor Oil Partner of the NBA and WNBA, unveiled a one-of-a-kind paint scheme for RFK Racing in a crossover partnership a few days ahead of the 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game took place on July 19. Inspired by six-time WNBA All-Star Alyssa “The Engine” Thomas, the livery design celebrates the relentless drive for excellence and a collective commitment to performance, company officials from Castrol stated in a press release.
“Castrol is uniquely positioned to bridge worlds where leaders across categories can unite under a shared banner of pushing boundaries,” said Andreas Osbar, CEO of Castrol Americas. “Progress isn’t achieved in isolation, and we’re excited to show what happens when being ‘trusted by the best’ is truly seen and celebrated.”
The custom paint scheme, designed in collaboration with Thomas, blends powerful symbolism with bold design, noted the release. A basketball-patterned base sets the tone, with Thomas featured prominently on the hood. On the side panels, an infinity symbol donning a crown sits alongside two chess pieces representing stability, strength and strategy—core elements of Thomas’ game. Purple chrome No. 60 emblems appear on the sides and roof, while a subtle XV Roman Numeral nods to her legacy as the “Triple-Double Queen.” Thomas’s signature and nickname, “The Engine,” are displayed on the hood and trunk lid, an official stamp of her imprint on every detail.
“It’s an amazing opportunity to bring my career accomplishments and passion for design to a totally unexpected platform like racing,” said Thomas. “Teaming up with Castrol was a natural fit because we’re both known for our ability to keep pushing, our commitment to perfection and our ability to innovate.”
RFK Racing & Castrol Working Together To Celebrate the WNBA
For RFK Racing, the livery represents another moment to showcase the team’s connection with Castrol while finding new and different ways to elevate its status on and off the track.
“It’s great to have a partner like Castrol who is always pushing the boundaries,” said RFK Racing driver Ryan Preece. “It’s an honor to have Alyssa Thomas’ legacy and mindset represented on our No. 60 car. Her ‘Engine’ mentality is all about pushing limits and delivering under pressure—something that resonates deeply with me as a driver every time I’m on the track.”
The latest activation from Castrol furthers its pledge to celebrate players and fans in its role as the Official Motor Oil Partner of the WNBA. The No. 60 Castrol “The Engine” car was on the track at the Auto Trader EchoPark Automotive 400 at Dover Motor Speedway on Sunday, July 20, and will be on the track once again at the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday, July 27.
