THIS AND THAT
We’re Back: Although Chip Ganassi Racing Teams (CGRT) has been a fixture in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS), the organization fielded NASCAR XFINITY Series teams from 2004 – 2008. Over those five years CGRT won six races, and amassed 32 top-five and 60 top-10 finishes along with nine pole awards.
ENEOS Returns: 2015 will mark the second year of a continued partnership with Japan’s largest oil company, JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corp., which will see its premium synthetic oil brand, ENEOS, as the primary sponsor on the No. 42 Chevrolet Camaro driven by Kyle Larson for eight XFINITY Series races. In addition, ENEOS will be a full-time associate sponsor for the No. 42 XFINITY Series team and the No. 2 Larson Marks Racing World of Outlaws sprint car team. Larson and ENEOS won in their first XFINITY Series start together at Charlotte Motor Speedway last May.
