JR Motorsports announced today that LINE-X, North America’s largest retail automotive aftermarket franchise and leading provider of high-performance spray-on bedliners, will sponsor Alex Bowman in the No. 5 Chevrolet for the upcoming NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Phoenix International Raceway on Saturday, Nov. 8.

LINE-X is recognized as the industry leader in spray-on bedliners and an innovator of versatile protective coatings. The company’s product line includes items that are utilized in commercial, industrial, agricultural, military and custom applications. LINE-X boasts more than 500 locations in 46 countries.

“We are very excited to get back on the track with the NASCAR Nationwide Series, and to make this return with Alex Bowman and JR Motorsports is truly an honor for us,” said Kevin Heronimus, CEO of LINE-X LLC. “As a company, we have followed Alex’s career since his days in the ARCA Racing Series. We are thrilled to join Alex and the JR Motorsports team for the race in Phoenix.”

The Phoenix race marks the 21-year-old Tuscon, Ariz., native’s second start for JR Motorsports. Bowman started seventh and finished 12th in his JRM debut at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Oct. 10. Over the past two seasons, Bowman has made 71 combined starts across NASCAR’s top-two series, posting two top-five and six top-10 finishes. He also recorded a pair of pole awards in Nationwide Series competition at Texas Motor Speedway in 2013.

“We were really impressed with how well Alex ran at Charlotte,” said JRM general manager Kelley Earnhardt Miller. “For LINE-X to also see that potential and come on board for Phoenix is exciting for our team. We feel like Alex is going to be a star in the sport and this is a great chance for him to show his talent in one of our cars.”

The No. 5 team has earned five wins this season – four with Kevin Harvick and one with Kasey Kahne. Josh Berry, Dale Earnhardt Jr. (renumbered as No. 88) and Austin Theriault have also driven the car this season.
