New Sponsor and New Paint Scheme Debut on the No. 6 Chevrolet
DENVER, N.C. (July 11, 2012) – Justin Lofton, driver of the No. 6 Eddie Sharp Racing Chevrolet, will be sporting a new paint scheme and a new sponsor at this weekend’s American Ethanol 200 at Iowa Speedway. Dawning a new blue paint scheme with J.D. Heiskell & Company’s logo, Lofton is looking to fight back to regain the top spot in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) championship point standings.
“We couldn’t be happier to have J.D. Heiskell & Company on board the No. 6 Chevrolet this week in Iowa,” commented Lofton. “They have been a supplier to our family business [Lofton Cattle] for many years. There is no better place to display J.D. Heiskell than right in the heartland of America.”
Saturday’s race at Iowa Speedway will be J.D. Heiskell’s first race sponsoring a NCWTS race team. The 125-year-old company will have their logo displayed on the rear quarter panels and bed top of Lofton’s No. 6 machine. Lofton is currently ranked second in the point standings, just four points outside the top position.
“We have high hopes and high expectations for both me and the team this weekend,” commented Lofton. “Iowa Speedway is a really fun track, and it’s a place where I’ve been able to run well at in the past.”
As part of the new look for the No. 6 ESR Chevrolet fans may notice the absence of College Complete from the hood of Lofton’s Chevrolet. After just eight races together in the 2012 season, Justin Lofton, College Complete and all parties involved have agreed to amicably part ways.
“I thank College Complete for their support,” Lofton continued. “The relationship exceeded expectations and I wish them all the best as they continue to move forward.”
The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will put on a primetime feature this Saturday night at Iowa Speedway. Live coverage of the American Ethanol 200 will be broadcast on SPEED, MRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, channel 90, beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, July 14.
