Sam’s Club, Member’s Mark Angus Beef and Castlewood Reserve to Sponsor No. 6 Ford Mustang For Three Races in 2012
Concord, N.C. (June 27, 2012) – Sam’s Club and its Member’s Mark Angus Beef and Castlewood Reserve brands will serve as the primary sponsor for three races during 2012 Nationwide season for the reigning 2011 NASCAR Nationwide champion, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and his No. 6 team. Sam’s Club logos will be featured prominently on the No. 6 Ford Mustang accented with Member’s Mark Angus Beef and Castlewood Reserve logos starting this weekend at Kentucky Speedway for the Feed the Children 300. The remaining two races of the sponsorship are slated for Indianapolis (July 28) and Kansas (October 20).
“I am thrilled to have Sam’s Club back on our Mustang this year,” said Stenhouse. “Cargill has been a huge supporter of our No. 6 team the past two years. We hope to bring recognition to Sam’s exclusive brands of Member’s Mark Angus Beef and Castlewood Reserve by putting them in victory lane.”

We are confident that the Roush Fenway No. 6 team will do everything they can to maximize that exposure by getting us to Victory lane.”
