Martin Truex Jr.’s Colorado-based team will carry a special paint scheme on the hood of its #78 Furniture Row/Denver Mattress Chevrolet. The flat-black car will showcase the Colorado Freedom Memorial, which honors every fallen Colorado military veteran, dating back to the Spanish American war in 1896. Nearly 6000 names are printed on the glass panels of the Colorado Freedom Memorial, located outside of Denver in Aurora, CO. ‘We have a big race this weekend, but we can’t forget that this is also a weekend of reflection to remember all those veterans who have perished in battle to preserve our freedom,’ said Truex. ‘NASCAR has been a big supporter of the military over the years and I am happy that our owner Barney Visser donated the hood of our car to the Colorado Freedom Memorial.’(FRR), see an image of the scheme on the #78 Team Schemes page.(5-22-2014)
