HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. -- Joe Gibbs Racing announced Tuesday that the Farm Bureau Insurance Companies will serve as the primary sponsor for six Cup Series races during the 2009 season.

In addition Farm Bureau Insurance will be on the No. 20 Toyota driven by Joey Logano at the Oct. 25 race at Martinsville. Both FedEx and The Home Depot will still be represented on their respective cars at each of those races.

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