NASCAR® Nationwide Series driver Jeffrey Earnhardt is looking to 2013 as a big year. In addition to continuing his sponsorship with Uponor for at least six more races, he is also going for the Rookie of the Year title. Earnhardt will drive the #79 Go Green Racing Ford Mustang for the Drive4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway, which kicks off the 2013 NASCAR Nationwide Series season Feb. 23 on ESPN.
“I’m really excited to start the season with Uponor in Daytona,” says Earnhardt. “2013 is going to be the biggest year of my career and Uponor and their customers are going to enjoy a great ride.”
Earnhardt began his partnership with Uponor last year with several races in the NASCAR Nationwide Series along with appearances at some local industry trade shows. This year, Earnhardt will be making an appearance with his race car at the Uponor booth (C5907) at the International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Las Vegas on Jan. 22 and 23 from 2 to 4 p.m.
“Last year we met some Uponor contractors at the races, and had a good time,” Earnhardt says. “I look forward to seeing everyone at the Vegas show and sincerely appreciate the support.”
