The company was founded in Southern California in 1978 and has grown to become a leading C-store across multiple states. ampm prides itself on introducing innovative technology to provide a faster and easier shopping experience for its customers no matter the time of day or meal they are looking for. This marks ampm’s first foray into motorsports sponsorship.
“We’re looking forward to introducing ampm to the motorsports world,” said Hamlin. “It’s exciting to have a first-time partner come on and be able to showcase their business to our fanbase. It’s a great looking paint scheme and I can’t wait to get it on the track at Sonoma and Las Vegas later this year.”
Hamlin is competing in his 20th full-time season in the NASCAR Cup Series. He is tied for 12th on the all-time wins list with 54 victories, including three wins last year.
