Nascar, the US stock car-racing series, has signed a multi-year partnership with paint supplier Sherwin-Williams.
Under the deal, Sherwin-Williams has become the official paint of Nascar and will distribute Nascar-branded products. The company has also signed up as a contingency sponsor in the Sprint Cup Series, the Touring and Weekly Series and Grand-Am Road Racing.
Sherwin-Williams will also sponsor the fastest lap award in the Sprint Cup Series.
“We have invested in the sport at the team level since 2000, sponsoring about 85% of the teams in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series,” Sherwin-Williams chairman and chief executive Chris Connor said.
As part of the agreement, the company will become part of the Nascar Fuel for Business Council, which offers business-to-business opportunities for all companies who are partners of the series.
