Martin Truex Jr. is going to be driving a blue No. 78 Camry more often in the future.
Denver’s Furniture Row Racing announced Monday it has agreed to a multi-year primary sponsorship with Auto-Owners Insurance for Truex’s Camry in the NASCAR Cup Series.
Auto-Owners Insurance was a primary sponsor for three races in 2016. The company will double that in both 2017 and 2018. The six races in 2017 include: Kansas Speedway (May 13), Michigan International Speedway (June 18), Indianapolis Motor Speedway (July 23), Richmond International Raceway (Sept. 9), Charlotte Motor Speedway (Oct. 7) and Phoenix International Raceway (Nov. 12).
“Teaming up with Furniture Row Racing has been an outstanding fit for Auto-Owners, and we are excited to continue our partnership for the 2017 and 2018 seasons,” Auto-Owners senior vice president of marketing and sales Mary Pierce said in a news release.
With the blue Auto-Owners Insurance color scheme in 2016, Truex won the Southern 500, and finished seventh in Martinsville, Va., and eighth at the Brickyard 400.
