Farm Bureau Insurance To Sponsor Six NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Races in 2009

Joe Gibbs Racing has announced that Farm Bureau Insurance will serve as the primary sponsor for six NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races during the 2009 season.

Farm Bureau will be carried on the No. 11 Toyota driven by Denny Hamlin twice during the upcoming season including the May 9 race at Darlington and the September 6 race at Atlanta. In addition Farm Bureau will be on the No. 20 Toyota driven by Joey Logano at the October 25 race at Martinsville. Both Fed Ex and The Home Depot will still be represented on their respective cars at each of those races.

Farm Bureau will also sponsor a fourth JGR entry at three races in 2009 on the No. 02 Toyota at the October 17 Charlotte race, the November 8 Texas race and the November 22 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series finale at Homestead. The driver for those three will be announced later.

“Farm Bureau has been an outstanding partner with us on our Nationwide Series program and we’re thrilled to have them on these six Cup races this year,” said Joe Gibbs Racing President J.D. Gibbs. “We were able to generate a lot of excitement for them last year on the Nationwide side and we’ll work hard this year to provide their agents, members and customers a program to be proud of now in our Cup program.”

In 2008 Farm Bureau Insurance made its initial entrance into NASCAR as a primary sponsor of Joe Gibbs Racing and the Number 18 Nationwide Series team.
