XFINITY points leader to pilot No. 33 Chevy, will be sponsored by Nexium
Ty Dillon will have a new primary sponsor for his second 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series start in the Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan International Speedway on June 14 (1 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 1).
Dillon will carry primary sponsorship from Nexium 24HR as Richard Childress Racing has partnered with Pfizer Inc. The over-the-counter heartburn medication will be on Dillon’s No. 33 Chevrolet SS Circle Sport Racing entry at the two-mile venue.
“Nexium 24HR has helped my wife Judy and me improve our heartburn routines,” Richard Childress, the Chairman and CEO of Richard Childress Racing said in a release provided by the team. “The NASCAR schedule requires long days at the race track and Nexium 24HR gives me complete heartburn protection all-day and all-night so I can stay focused on our race team.”
Circle Sport is affiliated with RCR and the No. 33 team has used XFINITY Series regulars Dillon and Brian Scott for several starts the past two seasons. Dillon has made three previous starts in the No. 33 Chevrolet with his best finish coming in his Sprint Cup debut, a 25th-place finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway last Labor Day weekend.
Dillon is currently the points leader in the NASCAR XFINITY Series by a margin of eight over the defending series champion, Chase Elliott, heading into this weekend’s Winn Dixie 300 on Saturday, May 2 (3 p.m. ET, FOX) at Talladega Superspeedway.
