“Their focus on clean and renewable energy is something that I personally love. Even NASCAR’s own research shows NASCAR fans support climate change. More than four out of five fans (88%) believe the Earth is going through a period of climate change, and three out of four fans (76%) feel a personal responsibility to combat it. I am proud to bring in a sponsor that is focused shares that view.
“Our No. 08 Core Development Group Chevrolet Camaro looks spectacular and I can’t wait to get it on the track this weekend at Daytona International Speedway and have a good race to kick off our season,” added Graf Jr.

In addition, the NASCAR Xfinity platform overlaps nicely with our national client base. As we explored the partnership with Joe Graf Jr., we were so impressed with the media reach of NASCAR and its impassioned fan base. We are really excited about being part of this great sport,” added Cortes.
