TWO-YEAR PACT CONTINUES PRIMARY SPONSORSHIP OF WILLIAM BYRON

CONCORD, N.C. (Oct. 23, 2019) – Hertz (NYSE: HTZ), one of the world’s largest vehicle rental companies, has extended its sponsorship of 12-time NASCAR Cup Series champions Hendrick Motorsports and the No. 24 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 team of driver William Byron.

As part of the new two-year agreement that runs through 2021, Hertz will continue as a primary sponsor of Byron’s No. 24 team in four points-paying Cup Series races annually and as a full-season associate-level partner. In 2020, the company’s primary events will be Auto Club Speedway and ISM Raceway in March along with the October playoff races at Talladega Superspeedway and Kansas Speedway.

“We are excited to continue our relationship with Hendrick Motorsports and look forward to building upon this winning partnership,” said Hertz senior vice president Jayesh Patel. “William Byron is a great competitor, and we’re proud to support him and his No. 24 team.”

Hertz began its sponsorship of Hendrick Motorsports and the No. 24 team in May 2018 and has heavily leveraged the partnership, including collaborating to introduce an exclusive line of Hertz-Hendrick Motorsports custom Camaro rental cars that pay tribute to Byron’s No. 24 car. Byron’s 2020 No. 24 Hertz Chevrolet paint scheme (pictured above), which is a reversed version of the custom Camaro design, was unveiled this morning in Charlotte during a promotional event for the Hertz-Hendrick Motorsports custom Camaro rental program. The new No. 24 team livery will debut this season at ISM Raceway on Nov. 10.

“We’re thrilled to see our partnership with Hertz continue,” said Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports. “From offering a special line of Camaros to rewarding high-performing employees with NASCAR experiences, Hertz has done a wonderful job with the program. In only his second year, William has shown he can run up front on any type of racetrack. The future of the No. 24 team is very bright, and we look forward to sharing that future with everyone at Hertz.”

Byron, 21, followed his 2018 NASCAR Cup Series rookie of the year season by earning his first career playoff berth in 2019. Through 32 of 36 races this year, he has posted five pole positions, which tie him for the series lead, and set personal bests in nearly all statistical categories, including top-five finishes (4), top-10s (12) and laps led (225).

“I’m really excited to continue building on our relationship with Hertz,” Byron said. “They came on board the No. 24 during my rookie season and have continued their awesome support as we’ve grown as a team. We’ve done a lot in a short amount of time, but there’s so much more to accomplish. I can’t wait to put the new No. 24 Hertz paint scheme on the racetrack and see what else we can do together.”

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (October 17, 2019) – Team Penske and PIRTEK, the leader in hydraulic and industrial hose replacement service, today announced a multi-year partnership that will bring PIRTEK’s familiar blue and yellow colors to the NASCAR Cup Series as a primary sponsor with Brad Keselowski and the No. 2 Ford Mustang for two races during the 2020 season.

The new agreement builds on the existing relationship between PIRTEK and Team Penske that includes primary sponsorship of the team’s NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) program over the last two seasons. The PIRTEK colors will adorn the No. 2 for the first time at Dover International Speedway the first weekend in May, along with the final race of the regular season in August at Daytona International Speedway.

“We value the relationship with PIRTEK and the company has been a big part of our team across several of our racing programs,” said Roger Penske. “We are excited to welcome PIRTEK to our NASCAR Cup Series program with Brad (Keselowski) and the No. 2 Ford team next season and we hope to continue to build on the partnership with PIRTEK for the future.”

PIRTEK has been a valued partner in the Penske organization for several years, working with several Penske Corporation businesses, as well as the DJR Team Penske program that competes in the Virgin Australian Supercars Championship. PIRTEK and Team Penske first announced a NASCAR Xfinity Series partnership in 2018 and the companies have continued building their relationship with PIRTEK serving as both a primary and associate sponsor for the No. 22 and No. 12 NXS Team Penske Fords this season.

With an increased role in the NASCAR Cup Series next season, PIRTEK will continue to expand its marketing and promotional opportunities through the Team Penske NASCAR program, including at-track hospitality and social/digital engagement with the team.

“It’s important for quality companies to build and enhance their involvement with our team and we’re excited to see PIRTEK grow with Team Penske,” said Keselowski, the 2012 NASCAR Cup Series Champion.  “PIRTEK has helped build their brand with our team and we have seen their efforts pay off. It will be great to see the company expand to our NASCAR Cup program in 2020. That blue and yellow PIRTEK Ford will really stand out on the track and I can’t wait to represent them next year.”

HARRISBURG, N.C. (October 16, 2019) – JTG Daugherty Racing announced today a new driver to their two-car lineup by signing 32-year-old Ricky Stenhouse Jr. to a multi-year deal. A seasoned veteran in the NASCAR Cup Series, Stenhouse Jr. will enter his eighth full-time season and will kick it off with JTG Daugherty Racing beginning at the 2020 DAYTONA 500 alongside teammate Ryan Preece.

“We’re very fortunate to have Ricky join us next season to continue to elevate our racing program at JTG Daugherty Racing,” team owner Tad Geschickter said. “Ricky brings a lot of experience and talent to the team, and we know we can have two Playoff-contending teams next season with him and Ryan Preece at the helm of our cars.”

Stenhouse Jr. joins JTG Daugherty Racing following a 10-year tenure with Roush Fenway Racing.

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to join JTG Daugherty Racing next season,” Stenhouse Jr. said. “To be able to see what Tad, Jodi (Geschickter) and Brad (Daugherty) have built over the years says a lot about the team and the organization both on and off the track. JTG has grown from a small team in a barn to a two-car team with more than 100 employees, and I’m looking forward to joining the family. I’m grateful for the opportunity, and ready to go win races with the ultimate goal of making the Playoffs and competing for a championship.”

Stenhouse Jr., a two-time NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) Champion, has two wins, 15 top-five finishes, 34 top-10 finishes and two pole awards in 251 career NASCAR Cup Series starts. Competing for three years in the NXS from 2010-2012, he was Rookie of the Year in 2010 and won two NXS championships consecutively the following two seasons. Stenhouse Jr. earned the Sunoco Rookie of the Year award in the Cup Series in 2013, and brought home his first checkered flag finish at Talladega Superspeedway in 2017, going on to win his second race later that year at Daytona International Speedway.

Aside from his premier series accomplishments, the Olive Branch, Miss. native is highly decorated in the sprint car racing community. After his first Cup Series win at Talladega, he became only one of eight drivers to have won in NASCAR’s premier series as well as the USAC Silver Crown, National Sprint Car, and National Midget Series, joining drivers such as Mario Andretti, Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart.

Stenhouse Jr. will make his JTG Daugherty Racing debut on Sunday, February 16, 2020 at Daytona International Speedway. Sponsorship and car number will be announced at a later date.

Austin Dillon Pilots New Car During Two-Day Test at Richmond Raceway

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Oct. 9, 2019) — Following more than two years of development from concept to reality, NASCAR’s Next Gen car hit the track for the first time for a two-day test at Richmond Raceway.

The much-anticipated car, which is slated to debut at the 2021 Daytona 500, will honor stock car racing’s roots with bodies that resemble their street versions while incorporating new vehicle technology and innovation.

“This is an important milestone for the Next Gen car and the future of stock car racing,” said John Probst, NASCAR Senior Vice President of Innovation and Racing Development. “There are so many new systems on the car from the front to the back that our main goal with this test was to log laps and put miles on them. The test has met – and even exceeded – our expectations, and we are well on our way to developing the final iteration of the car.”

Austin Dillon was behind the wheel of the car, which was assembled by Richard Childress Racing in collaboration with NASCAR.

“I really enjoyed driving the car,” Dillon said. “I like the way that it looks, you can see the finished product down the road. The OEMs can make the body look really good, like a street car that you see on the road today. When it comes together and they all get their cars on the track, we’re going to have something to work with that also looks really good.”

The car is one of two prototypes currently built. The other was assembled by NASCAR and was tested in the wind tunnel for the first time on October 1. That car is scheduled to make its second trip to the wind tunnel later this week. Another on-track test is anticipated before the year concludes.

“We have a very comprehensive test plan,” Probst said. “We will be doing extensive wind tunnel testing to ensure liftoff speeds are appropriate before moving to larger tracks. As we move into 2020, we will begin testing on intermediate tracks, superspeedways and road courses.”

While many components on the current versions of the car will remain, some major elements – including each OEMs body design – are still in development.

NEW THREE-YEAR AGREEMENT GOES THROUGH 2023

CONCORD, N.C. (Oct. 4, 2019) – Less than 12 months after it first raced into NASCAR, Ally Financial has extended its full-season primary sponsorship of Hendrick Motorsports and the No. 48 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 team for three more years through the 2023 season.

The agreement all but guarantees that seven-time Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson will finish his legendary full-time NASCAR career with Ally as his primary sponsor. Johnson, who is signed with Hendrick Motorsports through 2020, will announce his future plans at a later date.

On Oct. 28, 2018, it was announced that Ally would become the sole primary sponsor of Johnson and his No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports team in 2019 and 2020. This season, the leading digital financial services company has executed numerous marketing campaigns around the program. The bold design of the No. 48 Ally Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, which was revealed on “Good Morning America” in January, has quickly made it one of the most recognizable cars in NASCAR.

“Our first year with Jimmie and the team at Hendrick Motorsports has been phenomenal,” said Andrea Brimmer, Ally’s chief marketing and public relations officer. “Jimmie’s the ultimate competitor, and Ally is proud to support him and the rest of the No. 48 team. We are thrilled to extend our contract and build on the incredible momentum we’ve established. This sponsorship goes way beyond just putting our logo on the car. It’s built on our shared values for doing right in the communities we race in, while growing our brand with passionate, new audiences. We look forward to many more exciting laps together.”

With a commitment to “do it right” for its customers, Ally, a leading digital financial services provider, is changing the online banking landscape with innovative digital experiences, 24/7 service, great rates and rewarding lending products. Ally is also one of the largest auto financing companies in the United States with extensive experience in the auto industry and an unmatched suite of products and services.

“Ally’s values are our values,” said Rick Hendrick, owner of 12-time NASCAR Cup Series champions Hendrick Motorsports. “Working with integrity, being accountable to one another, and leading in both the workplace and in our communities are all core beliefs that we share. This is a tremendous relationship on many levels, and to see it have success and grow so quickly is truly meaningful. Jimmie sets the standard and is a wonderful representative for Ally. Today is a great day for all of us.”

Johnson, 44, is one of the greatest champions in sports. His record-tying seven Cup titles, which include five straight from 2006-2010, are equaled only by NASCAR legends Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt. In 2009, Johnson became the first race car driver to be named Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year, joining the likes of Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan and Tom Brady. The El Cajon, California, native has earned 83 points-paying race wins and led nearly 19,000 career laps.

“The energy Ally has brought to the No. 48 team, Hendrick Motorsports and the sport of NASCAR is contagious,” Johnson said. “They have embraced our fans, activated their program in unique ways and supported me at every turn, from racing my No. 48 car every week to running the Boston Marathon. It’s a true bond – not just a business transaction. We care about each other’s success. I’m proud to be associated with Ally and can’t wait to see what they do in the future.”

DOVER, Del.: In their effort to support to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, officials from Rick Ware Racing (RWR) and Gotta Kill It To Heal It announced today a month-long campaign to raise money in support of the fight against ALL cancers affecting women through the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.

You can register your donation by clicking HERE. (Support.kayyow.com/rickware)
Gotta Kill It To Heal It creates apparel designed to generate awareness and financial support for the ongoing fight against cancer.

An outdoor brand, the mission of Gotta Kill It to Heal It is about killing cancer, NOT animals. Designs incorporate sealife and beach scenes while also representing the colors symbolic of the fight against ALL cancers affecting women. Their desire is to capture the beauty and majesty of each creature through design while honoring the memory of those that have lost their lives fighting this disease, and celebrating the courage of all survivors and fighters.

The Kay Yow Cancer Fund was founded on December 3, 2007, from the vision of Hall of Fame women’s basketball coach, Kay Yow, who fought her own battle with cancer for 22 years. To date, the Kay Yow Cancer Fund has awarded $7.53 million in support of scientific research and programs that serve the underserved.

The Kay Yow Cancer Fund is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization committed to be a part of finding an answer in the fight against ALL cancers affecting women through raising money for scientific research and related projects, assisting the underserved and unifying people for a common cause.

Beginning with this weekend’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Dover (Del.) International Speedway, RWR and Gotta Kill It To Heal It has pledged to support a campaign with the goal of raising $100,000 for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund by the Oct. 27 running of the First Data 500 at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway.

“We are very fortunate at Rick Ware Racing that our sponsor we had lined up for Martinsville, who wants to remain anonymous, decided to let us use the car for a campaign that coincides with Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” said Rick Ware Racing general manager Bryan Clodfelter.

“We have partnered with two quality organizations, the Kay Yow Cancer Fund and Gotta Kill It To Heal It, to help raise money to fight this deadly disease. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer this past year and I sat in the doctor’s office to experience firsthand what it is like to be given the news.

“It is very devastating to go through that and hopefully, with more donations and research, one day people will not have to experience that. We are all very proud at RWR to have the support and the ability to participate in this initiative with such great partners.”

Reaching out to the NASCAR community and their avid race fans, RWR will offer several opportunities for fans to pledge their support.

Donation Guidelines:
• For donations up to $250.00: Handwritten name on race car plus social media mention on Rick Ware Racing social media platforms.

“Cancer is not a seasonal disease,” added Andy Wolfe spokesperson for Gotta Kill It To Heal It. “It doesn’t start on October 1 and end October 31. It’s a 365 day a year battle that is 24 hours a day. We need help and support from everyone every single day of the year. We thank Rick Ware Racing and the NASCAR industry and fans for their tremendous consideration and support.”

Kay Yow Cancer Fund CEO, Stephanie Glance, commented, “The Kay Yow Cancer Fund is grateful for the opportunity to be the beneficiary of Rick Ware Racing’s campaign to fight cancer. It is always inspirational to see people use their unique platform to make a difference, serve others, and give hope. Ultimately, we know the greatest race is the race we are all in to end cancer — a race we are in together.”
