HARRISBURG, N.C. — The Blue Buffalo brand will be represented on the No. 47 JTG Daugherty Racing car on March 26 at Circuit of the Americas in Texas and on July 23 at Michigan’s Pocono Raceway.
Blue Buffalo is the country’s leading natural pet food, making it a perfect match for driver and pet parent Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
“Blue Buffalo is thrilled to sponsor JTG Daugherty Racing as a co-primary partner as we deliver value to shoppers through the Kroger Racing program. Ricky is both an incredible driver and a dedicated pet parent, which makes him the perfect driver to represent BLUE and Kroger at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA),” said Rob Branham, national sales director at Blue Buffalo.
It’s obvious Stenhouse Jr. and his family have a special place in their hearts for animals.
The Olive Branch, Miss., native and his wife Madyson own Slide Job Ranch, which is home to a variety of four-legged family members and their beautiful Goldendoodle — Ruby. On February 19, the wavy-haired fur baby made her first appearance in victory lane at Daytona International Speedway.
”Yeah, we had Ruby in victory lane and that was special,” said the recently crowned Daytona 500 champion. “Madyson and I love animals and we know how important it is to have natural ingredients for your pets because they are a part of your family and you want them to live happy, healthy lives. We’re excited to have Blue Buffalo join JTG Daugherty Racing at COTA.”
