NNS: Trevor Bayne’s No. 6 Ford Mustang to feature Metal of Honor Recipient

Roush Fenway Racing announced on Wednesday, Nov. 5th that Trevor Bayne’s No. 6 AdvoCare Ford Mustang will feature a slightly different look this weekend at Phoenix International Raceway. Along with the signature red, white and blue colors of the USO, the name of Medal of Honor recipient Frederick Ferguson will be carried on the passenger door.

“I am very excited and honored to have the USO colors on our Ford Mustang this weekend as well as the name of Medal of Honor recipient Frederick Ferguson on our door,” Bayne commented. “Frederick’s story is incredible and I hope that we will be able to take our No. 6 AdvoCare Ford carrying his name to Victory Lane at the end of the day on Saturday.”

Ferguson received the Medal of Honor on May 17, 1969 following hiss service in Viet Nam. A month and a half earlier, Chief Warrant Officer Ferguson flew his helicopter through heavy enemy fire to rescue five soldiers.

Coming into this weekend, Bayne sits sixth in the Nationwide Series Points Standings with five top-fives and 20 top-10 finishes. In his nine previous starts at Phoenix, he has scored a single top-five finish and five top-10s.
