MILLER DEALERSHIPS JOIN FORCES WITH VF IMAGEWEAR ON NO. 3 CHEVROLET CAMARO DRIVEN BY TY DILLON FOR NASCAR XFINITY SERIES 300 AT KENTUCKY SPEEDWAY (July 6, 2015) SALT LAKE CITY, UT – For the second consecutive year, Alsco, a worldwide leader in the rental of linen, uniforms, healthcare garments, and washroom products, has teamed with VF Imagewear to fuel the No. 3 Chevrolet Camaro driven by Ty Dillon in the XFINITY Series 300 at Kentucky Speedway on July 10. This opportunity is made possible by Richard Childress Racing’s (RCR) partnership with VF Imagewear brand Red Kap. “Like Alsco, RCR is a family-run business. With Richard Childress’ grandson, Ty, driving the No. 3 car, coming on board with a first-class organization like RCR is a no-brainer,” said Jim Divers, Director of Sales and Marketing at Alsco. “Just having our brand connected with this team is a tremendous benefit. Our thanks go out to our great partner, VF Imagewear, for helping put us together.” Ty Dillon finished seventh in last year’s XFINITY Series race at Kentucky Speedway and earned the Sunoco Rookie of the Race award.

    Stewart-Haas Racing: NASCAR Timeline During a media session at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway, Tony Stewart acknowledges that he has April 25, 2008 offers from other teams to drive that include acquiring an equity stake in the organization when his contract with Joe Gibbs Racing comes to an end. Stewart and Joe Gibbs Racing officials announce that they will part ways at the end of the 2008 July 9, 2008 NASCAR Cup Series season. In a press conference at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Illinois, Stewart announces that in 2009 he will serve as driver/owner of Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR). The team will be co-owned by Stewart July 10, 2008 and Gene Haas, founder of Oxnard, California-based Haas Automation, which owned Haas CNC Racing. The team will receive chassis, engines and technical support from Hendrick Motorsports. Stewart announces he will drive the No. 14 Chevrolet in 2009 with sponsorship from Office Depot July 25, 2008 and Old Spice. The press conference takes place at the IMS Productions studios across from Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In a press conference at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Stewart announces that Aug. 15, 2008 Ryan Newman will be his teammate at SHR and drive the No. 4 Chevrolet beginning in 2009. Stewart announces on SIRIUS’ “Tony Stewart Live” that Newman will drive the No. 39 Chevrolet instead of the No. 4. Aug. 19, 2008 Morgan-McClure Motorsports, which had used the No. 4 for several years in NASCAR competition, asked to keep the number for future use. Stewart and Newman opted for No. 39, the number Newman used to score his first United State Auto Club (USAC) victory.
