Bayne, Roush salute Mark Martin with first win paint scheme

For the third year in a row Trevor Bayne will be honoring NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Mark Martin with one of its throwback paint schemes at Darlington Raceway next weekend.  This time it is a paint scheme with a lot of significance to the organization and driver as it was the same one Martin drove to Roush Fenway's first victory in 1989.

The race was the AC Delco 500 on October 22, 1989 at North Carolina Speedway in Rockingham when Martin finally broke the barrier in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series after 57 races together.  Martin would carry the paint scheme to that single win, 602 laps led and 28 top-ten finishes.
