Chris Buescher and Front Row Motorsports will pay a stylistic homage to sponsor Love's Travel Stops at the the Bojangles' Southern 500 on Labor Day weekend at Darlington Raceway.
Darlington, of course, is hosting its second annual throwback weekend, and Buescher's Ford will carry Love's colors from 1981, the year the organization opened its first travel stop in Amarillo, Texas. Today Love's has more than 390 locations in 40 states and employs more than 15,000 people.
"The Darlington throwback weekend has become a pretty big deal, and it's cool to have Love's Travel Stops bring some of their history into the race weekend with their old colors," said Buescher. "Darlington is my favorite track, and I can't wait to get there and turn some laps in this special Love's Ford Fusion."
