Company will sponsor Ryan Blaney, No. 21 car at Kentucky and Darlington
Ryan Blaney and his No. 21 Wood Brothers Racing Ford will have a new sponsor on the car for this weekend at Kentucky Speedway in the Quaker State 400 presented by Advance Auto Parts (Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET, NBC Sports Network, PRN, SiriusXM).
Snap-on Tools will also sponsor the car in the Bojangles’ Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway on Labor Day weekend (Sept. 6, NBC, MRN, SiriusXM). Check out the paint scheme.

“It’s a real privilege to be representing a company like Snap-on that has such a rich heritage of quality and craftsmanship,” team co-owner Eddie Wood said in a release provided by the team.
Blaney’s six starts this season so far for Wood Brothers have carried the sponsorship of Motorcraft/Quick Lane Tire & Auto Center. The 21-year-old’s best finish this season came at Talladega Superspeedway in May — he finished fourth.
Blaney and the No. 21 car did not make the 43-car field for last Sunday’s Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway with qualifying rained out and the field set by the NASCAR rule book, which meant by the speeds of the opening practice as well as based on the number of race attempts each team has made. It was the first time since 2008 that the Wood Brothers’ No. 21 car did not qualify for a race in which it was entered.
