2016 Paint Scheme Review

Trevor Bayne ran several paint schemes through the 2016 season with AdvoCare as his only main sponsor on the No. 6 Ford Fusion in the Sprint Cup Series and the No. 60 Ford Mustang in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in one event this year.  AdvoCare has been the only primary sponsor on Bayne's No. 6 car since 2014, that will change next season when Liberty National Life joins the team.

The Primary AdvoCare Paint Scheme:
AdvoCare's primary paint scheme consisted of a blue and white paint scheme, with red numbering on the car; while it had a checkered pattern down the side of the car.  The paint scheme ran in all but five of the 36 races this season, Bayne collected his first top-five finish since winning the Daytona 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway in April driving this paint scheme under the lights at his home state track when the rain came in during the afternoon.  Bayne also scored a top-five finish at Daytona in July. 


AdvoCare/Seal Legacy Chief Warrant Officer (CW4) Jason McCormack paint scheme:  Trevor Bayne piloted a special blue, red, and silver AdvoCare/Seal Legacy Ford Fusion at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May in the Coca-Cola 600.  It was part of the "600 miles of Remembrance" at the 1.5 mile speedway. 

Bayne's car had Chief Warrant Officer Jason McCormack on the windshield of the car, and an American Flag and Blue hood.  Sgt. McCormack enlisted in the United States Army as a Ford Observer on June 21, 1995.   He died while conducting a training flight in South Korea on November 23, 2015.  He was survived by his wife, Sadie, and their two children son Cameron and daughter Addison.

Bayne finished 25th in the Coca-Cola 600 in the car.

No. 6 and No. 60 AdvoCare Blue Raspberry Spark 

AdvoCare gave fans and their distributors a surprise at Watkins Glen International in August when Trevor Bayne ran both events at the 2.45 mile road course in New York.  AdvoCare wouldn't let it out until the race weekend what was on their two cars for the weekend.  

On Friday afternoon, Bayne showed up with matching paint schemes at the track for AdvoCare's new flavor Blue Raspberry in Spark.  Bayne would qualify 32nd in the Sprint Cup Series side, and 7th in the NASCAR Xfinity Series side.  His qualifying efforts did not reflect his goals, as Bayne would finish fifth, even after an early incident with Brad Keselowski on Saturday.  On Sunday, he would finish ninth after starting back in the 32nd position with a little bit of strategy from crew chief Matt Puccia.

Mark Martin Throwback
For the second consecutive season, Roush Fenway Racing and Trevor Bayne paid tribute to their legendary Hall of Fame driver Mark Martin at Darlington Raceway.  This time with a paint scheme that reflected Mark Martin's 1996-1997 seasons, where he would record 3 wins and finish third in the points in 1997.

Bayne looked to have a strong race going at Darlington before the engine let go 161 laps into the event and he would finish in 40th.
 

 #AdvoStrong Ford Fusion
 AdvoCare gave fans a chance to have their image put on the paint scheme of the No. 6 #AdvoStrong Ford Fusion at Talladega Superspeedway in October.  Fans could submit their image and get it put on the solid blue Ford Fusion with white lettering and red numbers.  

Trevor Bayne would start the event in 11th and finish 17th while racing the paint scheme at the fastest and biggest track on the circuit.  


AdvoCare/Seal Legacy Ford Fusion
Trevor Bayne showed up to AdvoCare's home track with a special paint scheme honoring the Seal Legacy program at Texas Motor Speedway in November.  It was the second time during the season that AdvoCare & Seal Legacy had partnered together.

The paint scheme was a golden/yellow and blue with a shadow of a Navy Seal diver under the AdvoCare logo on the rear quarter panel.  The AdvoCare logo on the hood was shadowed in as well.  Bayne would pilot the car to a 30th place finish at the track.
