LEXINGTON, N.C. — Charge Me will join Chandler Smith as a sponsor during the NASCAR Xfinity Series season for Kaulig Racing.
Charge Me will serve as primary sponsor, adding associate sponsors Spend Me, Quick Tie and others for multiple events during Smith’s rookie season, the first being the Production Alliance Group 300 at Auto Club (Calif.) Speedway.
“We at Charge Me and Spend Me could not be more excited to take on this journey with an amazing driver and young man again,” says Charge Me Executive Vice President Bill Marr. “As this is our second year in NASCAR, moving up to Xfinity and seeing Chandler compete on this stage with a race team like Kaulig is an honor. We are proud to be a NASCAR family member and support this amazing sport. A huge thank you to Matt Kaulig and Chris Rice to welcome us and support us on this 2023 championship path.”
Kaulig Racing previously announced in the fall of 2022 that Smith would compete full time in the team’s No. 16 Chevrolet Xfinity Series entry as part of a multi-year agreement.
“I can’t thank Bill and Charge Me enough for believing in me and my growth in NASCAR,” said Smith. “We’ve had quite a bit of success together, and I feel so blessed to have the support of an amazing partner heading into 2023 at Kaulig Racing.”
Prior to signing with Kaulig Racing, Smith found success in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, accruing five wins, 23 top fives and 34 top-10 finishes.
After securing a spot in the round of eight during his first playoff berth of 2021, Smith went on to advance to the championship race in 2022, ultimately finishing third in the series’ points standings.
“We are extremely excited to have the opportunity to work with Charge Me this season,” says Chris Rice, president of Kaulig Racing. “We see so much potential in Chandler and hope that we are able to see success during the upcoming season with Charge Me as a driving force.”
