During the Official Throwback Weekend of NASCAR® at Darlington Raceway, Ryan Blaney will salute former Penske Racing driver Paul Menard and his 2003 ARCA Menards SeriesTM win. A young and untested driver in 2003, Menard partnered with Andy Petree in the World 300 at Talladega Superspeedway to win his first – and only – ARCA Series race. Menard, who had never driven on the historic Alabama track before, led the last 52 laps. Blaney’s Southern 500 livery is inspired by the car Menard raced to victory that day, and the official Lionel Racing die-cast of his car is now available.
