Trevor Bayne and Roush Fenway Racing have unveiled the No. 6 AdvoCare Ford that will take the track at Darlington Raceway for the Bojangles’ Southern 500 (Sept. 4, 6 p.m. ET, NBC, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) on Labor Day weekend.
Bayne’s car will carry the same red, white and blue design that Mark Martin‘s Ford did during the 1996 and 1997 seasons in the sport’s top series. Martin won four races with the look in the two years.
“It’s an honor any time you are mentioned alongside Mark Martin,” Bayne said in a team release. “He obviously contributed a lot to Roush Fenway and this organization, so to carry a paint scheme that he ran for the second year in a row is really cool. Our team has been working really hard and running well this season, so I’m hopeful that we can make Mark proud.”
Last year at Darlington, Bayne honored a different paint scheme that Martin drove in 1998. You can see that paint scheme here.
“It’s going to be really cool to see that car on the track again at Darlington,” Martin said in a team release. “It’s always been one of my favorite paint schemes and we had a lot of good times taking that car to Victory Lane and leading a lot of laps during that time. I look at it as a tribute to all the guys that put the hard work in on those cars and gave us the opportunity to go out and compete each week.”
