Classic Brand looks to bring Sunshine to Thunder Valley
CONCORD, N.C. (April 11, 2018) – SunnyD will look to make its presence known this weekend as NASCAR rolls into the winding hills of eastern Tennessee and Bristol Motor Speedway. Not only will the iconic brand be featured on the No. 17 Ford Fusion of Ricky Stenhouse Jr., but the trendy orange and blue scheme will also be featured on Ty Majeski’s No. 60 Ford Mustang, as the highly regarded up-and-comer makes his Bristol racing debut.
“Bristol is one of my favorite tracks,” Stenhouse said. “I can’t wait to get this weekend started especially with SunnyD on our No. 17 Ford. We’ve been so close at Bristol so hopefully we can get this fan favorite scheme into victory lane and celebrate with some refreshing SunnyD.”
Stenhouse is coming off a strong performance at Texas, where he wheeled the SunnyD Ford all the way through the field and into first position, before a late mechanical issue cost him what looked to be a sure top-five finish.
Majeski will make his 2018 debut after scoring a top-10 finish in the season finale last season at Homestead.
“I’m very excited about running my first race at Bristol and about having SunnyD on the car this weekend,” said Majeski. “Bristol is one of those tracks that you circle on the schedule and you grow up dreaming of running there. We had a blast testing there a couple of weeks ago and I can’t wait to get back there and hit the track with that SunnyD Ford Mustang.”
Stenhouse’s No. 17 SunnyD Ford is widely regarded as one of the best-looking race cars on the circuit and the duo of SunnyD Fords on the track this weekend at Bristol will certainly shed light on an already bright and action-packed weekend at the World’s Fastest Half Mile.
