SALISBURY, N.C. (WBTV) - In commemoration of John Andretti, Salisbury-based StarCom Racing is entering a replica of his Ford Thunderbird RCA paint scheme in the Official Throwback Weekend of NASCAR at Darlington Raceway May 7-9.
In its seventh year, the weekend pays homage to NASCAR Hall of Famers, legends, team owners, and valuable sponsors throughout the racing industry. The 2021 Official Throwback Weekend is not era-specific, which has paved the way for the inspired John Andretti throwback car while bringing awareness to the #CheckIt4Andretti foundation.
