The Haas Factory Team has unveiled a special livery in conjunction with Texas A&M University to pay homage to former Naval aviator and the 41st president of the United States, George H.W. Bush.

The team showed off the livery that they will run on driver Cole Custer’s No. 41 Chevrolet Camaro in Sunday’s Anduril 250: Race the Base, which is celebrating the U.S. Navy’s 250th anniversary.

Bush was one of the youngest Naval aviators during World War II, after enlisting on his 18th birthday. He served in the Pacific and even survived getting shot down in 1944.

The late president’s grandson says he would’ve appreciated the honor. “He often said that having a US Navy aircraft carrier named in his honor was among the proudest moments of his life,” Sam Bush LeBlond said.
