MT. PLEASANT, Mich. — Beard Motorsports announced FunkAway, a line of odor-eliminating products, will be the primary sponsor for its No. 62 Chevrolet and driver Parker Retzlaff for the Aug. 24 NASCAR Cup Series race at Daytona Int’l Speedway.
“Our NASCAR partnership has been a great experience and a natural fit for us at FunkAway,” said FunkAway co-owner Kyle Bolke. “We’ve had a wonderful collaboration with Parker, and coming together with him and Beard Motorsports again at Daytona in the NASCAR Cup Series is a no-brainer. Daytona is one of the most prestigious events in the world of motorsports and having FunkAway be a part of it will help fans that need our products. We are very excited for the races ahead and helping everyone smell great.”
The Coke Zero Sugar 400 will be the third race of the season for the No. 62 Beard Motorsports team after having made starts earlier this year in the Daytona 500 and the GEICO 500 at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway in April.
“The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season may very well go down as one of the most exciting for our family and this race team just because of the relationships we are having the good fortune to build,” said Amie Beard, executive vice president of Beard Motorsports. “We are very excited about this partnership with FunkAway. Being successful on the track is extremely important to our family, but equally important is making memories with our team and having fun in the process. FunkAway is a brand that marries well with our philosophy and approach to racing and we look forward to this partnership at Daytona.”
This Coke Zero Sugar 400 will be Retzlaff’s second career NASCAR Cup Series start and his first behind the wheel of the No. 62 Beard Motorsports Chevrolet. Retzlaff will make his Cup Series debut this weekend at Richmond (Va.) Raceway in the Cook Out 400.
“FunkAway has been a great partner for me the last couple years,” Retzlaff said. “They’re a great team of people and I’m really proud of that relationship. It’s an honor to have them support me and be there for this race. Superspeedway racing is something I really enjoy, and I can’t wait to get to Daytona with Beard Motorsports and FunkAway.”
