LEXINGTON, N.C. (September 17, 2024) – For the second year in-a-row, Kaulig Racing and Food City are teaming-up for the Bass Pro Shops Night Race.
Daniel Hemric’s No. 31 Camaro ZL1 will showcase both PepsiCo’s Mountain (Mtn) Dew and Doritos® brands for the infamous night race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
“We’re excited to continue our great partnership with Food City at one of the most exciting races of the season,” said team president, Chris Rice. “For the second year in-a-row, they have been with us for both Bristol races, and we hope to continue this relationship for years to come.”
