In addition, Bennett will have associate placement on the No. 3 Chevrolet for select NASCAR Cup Series races this season, further enhancing an already strong branding program that Bennett has been able to achieve through their relationship with Austin Hill and RCR’s No. 21 team in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
“Richard Childress Racing has been a world-class partner,” said Lynette Mathis, Vice President of the Bennett Family of Companies. “They have provided opportunities within motorsports to leverage customer relationships, develop new business opportunities and provide an avenue for recruitment among the sports’ passionate and dedicated fan base. We look forward to building on those successes this season by extending our relationship into the NASCAR Cup Series with Austin Dillon and the No. 3 team while continuing to activate around the successful program we have developed around Austin Hill in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.”
