HARRISBURG, N.C. -- JTG Daugherty Racing on Wednesday announced that Bush Brothers and Company's Bush's Baked Beans brand will be a primary sponsor of Marcos Ambrose and the No. 47 Toyota team for five primary races and will also serve as an associate sponsor during the 2010 Cup Series season.

"We are proud to enter our ninth season as partners with JTG Daugherty Racing and thrilled to have Marcos as our driver," said Ray Kielarowski, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Bush Brothers and Company. "We look forward to kicking off the new season at the track and sharing the Winner's Circle with him in 2010."

Bush's Baked Beans will be positioned on Ambrose's No. 47 Toyota's hood for the Cup Series events at Talladega Superspeedway on April 25, Richmond International Raceway on May 1, Bristol Motor Speedway on August 21, New Hampshire Motor Speedway on September 19 and Dover International Speedway on September 26.

Tad Geschickter, co-owner of JTG Daugherty Racing, has been partners with Bush Brothers and Company for nearly a decade.

"Bush's Baked Beans is a great family brand," said Geschickter. "It fits really well with our partner Kingsford Charcoal. They've been tremendously loyal to us and this is their ninth season in sponsorship with JTG Daugherty Racing. They have committed more resources to their program for 2010 than they ever have to really step up their involvement. We are pleased they are seeing their program pay dividends. We are happy Bush's Baked Beans are going to be a bigger part of the sponsorship portfolio for our racing organization this year."
