Daytona car will also have country artist Chris Cagle on decklid
GAFFNEY, S.C. (February 14, 2012) – JD Motorsports will have a familiar look on their car for the season opener at Daytona with G&K Services returning to the fold for the 2012 season.
Mike Wallace will open the NASCAR Nationwide Series driving the No. 01 G&K Services Chevrolet at Daytona International Speedway. The following week, G&K Services will return as the primary sponsor and will do so for other races throughout the year. For races they are not a primary partner, they will be an associate throughout the season.
Also on board for Daytona will be country gold recording artist Chris Cagle. The singer has earned two No. 1 hits, seven top-10 and 12 charted songs. His sixth album is titled “Got My Country On” produced and released by Bigger Picture Group.
G&K Services is returning to JD Motorsports for the third season. What started out as a being involved for a handful of races in 2010 turned into a tripled effort in 2011.
“The people at G&K Services have really been great to work with and I’m glad they are on board with us again this year,” Wallace said. “The work they do with uniform services and their other initiatives is high quality all the way around. We look forward to giving them the results they deserve on the track, and off, this season.
“They know what a big deal Daytona is for me and we almost got them to Victory Lane last year at Talladega. We’re just going to do our best for them at Daytona and start the season off on a good note.
“It’s also going to be fun to have my friend Chris Cagle on our car. He’s an excellent country artist with songs everyone can relate to in life. Maybe we can inspire him to write a song about racing for us.”
