Hertz, one of the world\u2019s largest vehicle rental companies, has extended its sponsorship of 12-time NASCAR Cup Series champions Hendrick Motorsports and the No. 24 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 team of driver William Byron.<\/p>\n
As part of the new two-year agreement that runs through 2021, Hertz will continue as a primary sponsor of Byron\u2019s No. 24 team in four points-paying Cup Series races annually and as a full-season associate-level partner. In 2020, the company\u2019s primary events will be Auto Club Speedway and ISM Raceway in March along with the October playoff races at Talladega Superspeedway and Kansas Speedway.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are excited to continue our relationship with Hendrick Motorsports and look forward to building upon this winning partnership,\u201d said Hertz senior vice president Jayesh Patel. \u201cWilliam Byron is a great competitor, and we\u2019re proud to support him and his No. 24 team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hertz began its sponsorship of Hendrick Motorsports and the No. 24 team in May 2018 and has heavily leveraged the partnership, including collaborating to introduce\u00a0an exclusive line of Hertz-Hendrick Motorsports custom Camaro rental cars\u00a0that pay tribute to Byron\u2019s No. 24 car. Byron\u2019s 2020 No. 24 Hertz Chevrolet paint scheme, which is a reversed version of the custom Camaro design, was unveiled this morning in Charlotte during a promotional event for the Hertz-Hendrick Motorsports custom Camaro rental program. The new No. 24 team livery will debut this season at ISM Raceway on Nov. 10.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to see our partnership with Hertz continue,\u201d said Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports. \u201cFrom offering a special line of Camaros to rewarding high-performing employees with NASCAR experiences, Hertz has done a wonderful job with the program. In only his second year, William has shown he can run up front on any type of racetrack. The future of the No. 24 team is very bright, and we look forward to sharing that future with everyone at Hertz.\u201d<\/p>\n
Byron, 21, followed his 2018 NASCAR Cup Series rookie of the year season by earning his first career playoff berth in 2019. Through 32 of 36 races this year, he has posted five pole positions, which tie him for the series lead, and set personal bests in nearly all statistical categories, including top-five finishes (4), top-10s (12) and laps led (225).<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really excited to continue building on our relationship with Hertz,\u201d Byron said. \u201cThey came on board the No. 24 during my rookie season and have continued their awesome support as we\u2019ve grown as a team. We\u2019ve done a lot in a short amount of time, but there\u2019s so much more to accomplish. I can\u2019t wait to put the new No. 24 Hertz paint scheme on the racetrack and see what else we can do together.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
