HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. – Joe Gibbs Racing announced Thursday that Sport Clips has grown its sponsorship support of the team to include Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr., joining Erik Jones and Denny Hamlin as Sport Clips drivers.
“Sport Clips has been a tremendous partner for us over the past 12 years and we greatly value the relationship we’ve built with Gordon (Logan) and everyone on his team,” said Joe Gibbs, owner of Joe Gibbs Racing. “We’re thrilled this year to have them expand their partnership to include Kyle and Martin in the NASCAR Cup Series as well as continue to sponsor Erik in the Cup Series and Denny in the Xfinity Race at Darlington. We’re proud of our association with Sport Clips and especially with the work they do in our communities and with our country’s veterans.”
Continuing their partnership with Jones, Sport Clips will back the No. 20 Toyota Camry team for five races throughout the season (The Clash at Daytona Int’l Speedway on Feb. 9, New Hampshire Motor Speedway on July 19, Darlington Raceway on Sept. 6, Talladega Superspeedway on Oct. 4, Texas Motor Speedway on Oct. 25).
Sport Clips first partnered with Jones in 2015 at Talladega Superspeedway in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and progressed with the 23-year-old to the Cup Series in 2017 during his rookie season. The pairing won the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway in 2019.
New to the Sport Clips family this year, 2019 NASCAR Cup Series Champion Busch will carry the Sport Clips colors on the No. 18 Toyota Camry for the Cup Series race at Phoenix Raceway on March 8.
Truex will showcase the Sport Clips red and white paint scheme on the No. 19 Toyota Camry for the Cup Series race at Dover Int’l Speedway on May 3.
Lastly, Sport Clips will continue their relationship with Hamlin for his lone NASCAR Xfinity Series race of the season, the Sport Clips Help a Hero 200 at Darlington Raceway on Sept. 5.
“We are especially thrilled with our partnership with Joe Gibbs Racing this year because we get to welcome two additional drivers to the Sport Clips team with Kyle and Martin joining Erik and Denny,” said Gordon Logan, founder and CEO of Sport Clips. “Together, these four drivers bring decades of NASCAR experience to the team and further strengthen our partnership with JGR. I know our clients will be excited to watch these guys hit the track and bring home some big wins this season.”
