National Breast Cancer Foundation
· On Friday morning, AdvoCare will present a significant contribution to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NCBF) as part of their continued partnership with the NBCF. The NBCF was founded in 1991 and provides help by inspiring hope to those affected by breast cancer through early detection, education and support services.
· AdvoCare established its partnership with NBCF in November 2013, when the company donated $30,827 to the foundation through sales of AdvoCare Spark® Pink Lemonade and proceeds from a silent auction.
· NBCF arms women with tools such as the Early Detection Plan, which allows them to schedule reminders for self-exams and schedule clinical breast exams and mammograms, depending on age and health history. The foundation also offers a free, in-depth online guide called Beyond The Shock for women and their families to fully understand breast cancer.
· Roush Fenway Racing encourages female fans to download the Early Detection Plan app from the NBCF. For more information visit www.earlydetectionplan.org.
Recapping Charlotte
· Bayne took the green flag from the eighth position at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway and ran inside the top 10 for much of the 200-Lap event, ultimately earning a seventh-place finish. With the result, Bayne remains sixth in the NNS championship standings and trails leader Chase Elliott by 98 points.
QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on racing at Texas:
“Texas is a special place for me. It’s where I made my first Cup start and where I won my first Nationwide Series race. I’m ready to get back there this weekend after two weeks off with our No. 6 AdvoCare Ford Mustang. I’m confident Chad (Norris) and my guys will help give me a great opportunity to run up front. I’m also glad to be back behind the wheel of the No. 21 Motorcraft / Quick Lane Ford Fusion for the Wood Brothers on Sunday. Hopefully we’ll be able to have two strong runs this weekend.”
Crew Chief Chad Norris on Texas:
“We’re ready to get back at it this weekend in Texas after these two weeks off. All the guys are looking forward to getting back to the track and I know that Trevor will give our No. 6 AdvoCare Ford a great run this weekend.”
