NASCAR team Roush Fenway Racing announced earlier today that the organization will show its support for Breast Cancer Awareness through out the whole month of October by running special pink numbers on its Ford Mustangs.
The special pink numbers will start this weekend at Dover International Speedway when the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series rolls into the Monster Mile for Sunday afternoon’s Drydene 400.
Ryan Newman’s No. 6 Acorn and Ricky Stenhouse Jr’s No. 17 Fastenal Ford will both sport pink numbers.
“We’re always proud to support Breast Cancer Awareness month,” said team president Steve Newmark. “We know so many families have been impacted by breast cancer, and our team and our partners are passionate about trying to bring more awareness to the cause.”
In addition to the pink numbers, Roush Fenway Racing will sport pink “Driven for a Cause” ribbon decals on the C-post for the entire month of October.
Furthermore, Wyndham Rewards, Fifth Third Bank and SUNNYD Fords will all carry special pink numbers and ribbons throughout the month of October at races at Dover International Speedway, Talladega Superspeedway, Kansas Speedway and Martinsville Speedway.
The Drydene 400 from Dover is set for Sunday October 6 at 2:30 PM ET on NBCSN.
