Big Brown is Going Gray

Donna Barrett, Public Relations Manager at UPS, is a Guest Blogger shedding some light onto UPS Freight.

The No. 6 Ford Fusion is going gray for Richmond.

The No. 6 Ford Fusion is going gray for Richmond.

NASCAR fans everywhere know Richmond, VA is home to the Richmond International Raceway. But did you know that Richmond is also home to UPS Freight – the “big truck” and “big load” arm of UPS?

This week David is in Richmond for The Russ Friedman 400 on May 2, and to celebrate the No. 6 Ford Fusion is getting a new look.

Created just for this week’s race, this special edition UPS Freight paint scheme features the gray of UPS Freight with new gold and brown racing stripes. And to make sure the car looks even better when it’s running under the lights Saturday night, the gray paint is mixed with crushed glass that makes it sparkle.

It’s a new look for the No. 6 Ford Fusion but we think UPS Freight is worth celebrating. With more than 215 locations, UPS Freight is busy delivering the heavy stuff throughout North America, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Full truckload or less than truckload – UPS Freight handles it all. Check it out at ltl.upsfreight.com/bestchoice.

If David ever wanted to drive a big rig for UPS, he’d have his pick of more than 6,300 trucks! Think a coast-to-coast run pulling a trailer would challenge David? No way!

This is an awesome paint scheme. The yellow looks really cool on the gray. It will look really good under the lights. I hope that David can pull it into victory lane at the end of the night!
