Speedco Truck Lube and Tires, a national company that specializes in quick lubes and tire services for the trucking industry, will join the JR Motorsports team as primary sponsor of the company’s Late Model program and associate sponsor on its NASCAR Nationwide Series Chevrolets in 2012, JRM co-owner and general manager Kelley Earnhardt announced today.
Speedco joins the #88 late model team and 21-year-old Hendersonville TN driver Josh Berry. Berry was recently named the 2011 recipient of the Speed51.com/AR Bodies Late Model Most Popular Driver award, a competition which encompassed multiple Late Model drivers across the United States and Canada. His on-track performance last year netted one win, nine top fives, and 16 top-10 finishes.
Speedco is also returning for its second season sponsoring L.W. Miller in the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour. In addition to his driving duties, Miller will serve as crew chief and team manager for the #88 Late Model team this season.
“Having Speedco join JR Motorsports in support of all our racing programs is a privilege,” Kelley Earnhardt said. “Our company is greatly appreciative of their involvement. Speedco has been a phenomenal supporter of local racing, and now we’re proud to showcase their brand at both the local and national level.”
“I am thankful for the opportunity to continue working with Speedco and look forward to building a relationship with everyone at JR Motorsports and our Speedco Late Model driver Josh Berry,” said Darin Odle, director of motorsports for Speedco. “I especially want to thank my good friend, L.W. Miller, for helping put our program together for 2012." (1/31/2012)(JR Motorsports)
