  • KYLE BUSCH the New Green Machine
    KYLE BUSCH The New Green Machine HUNTERSVILLE, North Carolina (Feb. 26, 2020) – When Kyle Busch takes to the track at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California this weekend, Interstate Batteries will debut a sharp new “green machine’ paint scheme as the founding sponsor of Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) starts its 29th season riding along with one of the top teams in NASCAR. While there are many paint schemes created throughout the years, rarely does a driver and the chairman of a sponsor’s company collaborate on a scheme, and even more rare is a 34-year-old collaborating with someone from the Greatest Generation. However, that is exactly what happened with the new Interstate Batteries scheme debuting this weekend in the NASCAR Cup Series Auto Club 400.. Starting late last season, Interstate Batteries chairman Norm Miller teamed up with Busch on the new design. The end result is a powerful new green scheme that Busch will run this weekend in Southern California and during the remaining Interstate-sponsored races in 2020. Busch, driver of the No. 18 Interstate Batteries Toyota for JGR, would like nothing more than to repeat his Auto Club 400 victory from last March, which happened to be his 200th career victory in NASCAR’s top three series and 54th in the Cup Series. He’s since lifted those totals to 209 overall and 57 in the Cup Series. Meanwhile, the first two races of 2020 have not gone to plan for the 2019 Cup Series champion. An engine issue in the season-opening Daytona 500 and handling issues last weekend at his hometown Las Vegas Motor Speedway have been the culprits.

  • Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson Team up with Valvoline™ for Reinvention Project
    February 10, 2014 Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson team up with Valvoline™ for Reinvention Project Hendrick Motorsports challenges fans to re-create drivers' reinvented American classic trucks for a chance to win a truck of their own Lexington, Ky. (February 10, 2014) - Valvoline™ and Hendrick Motorsports today announced a first-of-its-kind consumer challenge called the Reinvention Project. Valvoline is working with NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. to secretly reinvent two classic Chevy trucks and will be keeping them under wraps to give fans a chance to get in on the action. Starting today, car enthusiasts everywhere can put their know-how to the test in an attempt to guess the various features of Earnhardt Jr.'s and Johnson's creations. A virtual garage hosted at www.ReinventionProject.com invites consumers to select the parts that the drivers hand-picked for their high-performance trucks, from Chevrolet Performance* engines, to American Eagle* wheels and Goodyear* tires. Clues and updates will be released via Valvoline's social media channels - with the hashtags #TeamJimmie or #TeamDaleJr - to help participants revisit and fine-tune their online truck builds along the way. "The opportunity to work with Valvoline on the Reinvention Project is one I couldn't pass up," said Johnson, driver of the No. 48 Chevrolet SS. "Having the flexibility to rebuild and reinvent nearly every part of my shop truck from the ground up is such a cool experience." "Working alongside Valvoline and Hendrick Motorsports, the automotive know-how is incredible," said Earnhardt Jr., driver of the No.
