U.S. Cellular Extends Its Iowa Speedway Sponsorship Through 2019

U.S. Cellular has extended its sponsorship agreement with Iowa Speedway through 2019. The wireless provider has served as the U.S. Cellular 250 title sponsor since 2009 and has been the Newton track’s official wireless partner since ’06.

“U.S. Cellular has proudly said ‘drivers…start your engines!’ to kick off the previous eight U.S. Cellular 250 races at Newton’s fast 7/8-mile oval, and we are excited to extend our title sponsorship,” said Mike Adams, U.S. Cellular’s director of sales for Iowa and Nebraska. “At U.S. Cellular, we strive to build a connection with our communities that extends beyond our business by supporting community events that enhance the neighborhoods where we live and work. We look forward to another exciting season of Iowa Speedway events.”

The U.S. Cellular car also returns to Iowa Speedway this summer with a familiar face. Brendan Gaughan will again race Richard Childress Racing’s No. 62 U.S. Cellular Chevy Camaro during the July 29 NASCAR XFINITY Series U.S. Cellular 250 presented by American Ethanol. Gaughan’s car also will carry U.S. Cellular’s sponsorship during the June 28 American Ethanol E15 250 presented by Enogen at Iowa Speedway.

Gaughan finished 12th in last year’s driver standings to earn a berth in the inaugural NASCAR XFINITY Series Playoffs. The 41-year-old Las Vegas native posted a career-high 16 XFINITY Series top 10 finishes in 2016.

“I am looking forward to having U.S. Cellular on board again this summer,” Gaughan said. “To work with a company so engrained in NASCAR is a real honor. I hope we can bring the U.S. Cellular Chevrolet to victory lane. I can’t wait to get to Iowa Speedway for the U.S. Cellular 250.”
