Special scheme for Truex at Richmond:

Martin Truex Jr. will climb behind the wheel of the #56 NAPA Ultimate Tune-Up Toyota for Saturday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Richmond. The special scheme launches NAPA AUTO PARTS’ big May promotion which gives consumers up to $75 back when purchasing specific NAPA “tune-up” related products. Qualified purchases can be made at NAPA stores or installed at NAPA AutoCare Centers or participating installer shops. NAPA Racing will host Honorary Pit Crew Member Marvin Gurganus. He is the general manager of the Colony Tire parts division in Edenton, N.C. He will be honored in NAPA pre-race festivities and have his name decaled on the #56 Toyota. Crew chief Pat Tryson on Preparing for Richmond: “The NAPA team tested in Orlando, Fla., at Walt Disney World Speedway on April 12-13. We wanted to try some different stuff with the rear bar and some front suspension packages to dial in the short tracks like Richmond.”(MWR), see an image of the car on my #56 Team Schemes page.(4-27-2011)
