The No. 16 3M Ford Fusion will be sporting a\u00a0Bondo\u00ae Brand paint scheme, and the No. 16 crew will be ready with gallons of Bondo\u00ae\u00a0Body Filler and Putty, all part of 3M\u2019s family of automotive products, for any body repairs needed between the green and checkered flags.<\/p>\n<p>With countless races and more than a dozen wins under his belt, Greg Biffle is no stranger to performing on the track. That\u2019s why he relies on Bondo\u00ae Body Fillers \u2013 an industry staple for more than 60 years \u2013 to keep his car functioning in top form when he needs it most.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRacing at Bristol always means a lot of dents,\u201d says Greg Biffle, driver of the No. 16 3M Ford Fusion. \u201cThat\u2019s why Bondo\u00ae Body Filler is a great solution. If I brush the wall in practice, we can repair the damage quickly without having to replace the body panel. And, if our sheet metal doesn\u2019t quite fit the NASCAR\u00ae templates, we use body filler to fill out the area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And with a new track surface being put to the test, there\u2019s no telling what to expect. An estimated 215 gallons of Bondo\u00ae Body Filler will be used by NASCAR\u00ae Sprint Cup Series\u2122 teams this weekend to repair damage quickly and ensure sheet metal panels fit the tight NASCAR\u00ae templates.<\/p>\n<p>For the No. 16 3M Team, Bondo\u00ae Body Filler is a lifesaver that saves time and money at the track. And since not all dent and ding repairs are Bristol-sized, new Bondo\u00ae Filler Single Use products make it easy and economical for Biffle \u2013 and car owners \u2013 to repair dents, dings and rust spots on a variety of surfaces.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>^ Use<strong>\u00a0Bondo<\/strong>\u00ae<strong>\u00a0Body Filler to\u00a0<\/strong>quickly and easily fill dents, scrapes, chips, cracks and rust holes on wood, metal, aluminum, fiberglass, masonry, and concrete.
