Hunt Brothers® Pizza,the nation’s largest brand of made-to-order pizza in the convenience store industry, will sponsor two of Richard Childress Racing’s NASCAR Nationwide Series teams as well as the No. 29 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team with Kevin Harvick through a multi-year partnership agreement that begins in 2012.
Hunt Brothers Pizza will be the primary sponsor for three NASCAR Nationwide Series races on the No. 33 Chevrolet Impala when Harvick is the driver: May 26 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C.; June 29 at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, Ky.; and August 24 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tenn. The No. 2 Chevrolet Impala, with driver Elliott Sadler, will carry the Hunt Brothers Pizza primary sponsor paint scheme for the July 22 NNS event at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill. In addition, the Nashville, Tenn.-based company will be an associate sponsor throughout the NNS season for the No. 2 and the No. 33 Chevrolet teams.
Hunt Brothers Pizza will also continue its season-long associate sponsorship of Harvick and RCR’s No. 29 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team, beginning with the Daytona 500 in February.
“We’re so excited to partner with one of the most legendary racing organizations in NASCAR for the 2012 and 2013 Nationwide Series,” said Scott Hunt, CEO of Hunt Brothers Pizza. “We’ve had an outstanding relationship with Richard Childress Racing this past year in the Sprint Cup Series and are ready to celebrate some more big wins together next year.”
The 2012 season marks the fifth year of Hunt Brothers Pizza as a NASCAR sponsor.
