Roush Fenway and with AAA for a couple of seasons. Now the proud red, white, and blue of Roush Fenway is upon us once again with Trevor Bayne behind the wheel of Roush Fenway's No. 6 Advocare Ford Fusion this week at Daytona International Speedway.
It has been 72 races since Roush Fenway pulled out the No. 6 Ford Fusion at Homestead-Miami Speedway with Ricky Stenhouse Jr., running a Fifth Third Bank sponsored car in that event. Bayne will be running full-time with backing from Advocare this season as his primary sponsor.
David Ragan ran the No. 6 Ford from 2007 to 2011, until UPS pulled the plug on their sponsorship and went to just 1 race a season with the No. 99 team. So now we're back to seeing Roush's primary number back on the track after a few years of absence from the scene of Sprint Cup Series race. Bayne's Advocare Ford looks much like Mark Martin's No. 6 AAA Ford from 2005 in his final season with Roush Fenway Racing. This will be Bayne's first full-time season behind the wheel of a Sprint Cup Series car, after running part-time with the Wood Brothers organization for a few seasons, that amounted up to 54 starts in the Sprint Cup Series with the oldest running team in NASCAR. Bayne said that he didn't feel that he had to fill Mark Martin's legacy at Roush because David Ragan once had already tried that, he felt that it was the Roush Fenway legacy he had to carry on in the No. 6.
