Nature Blast will be the primary sponsor on the No. 9 Ford at Bristol for Sunday's race (1 p.m. ET, FOX). The company served as associate sponsor for Hornish and the No. 9 team for the season-opening Daytona 500.

"For parents, like my wife and me, Nature Blast offers great cleaning products which are safe for our children to be around," Hornish, a father of three, said in a release provided by the team. "That's important and I trust them. I'm looking forward to having them back at the track in Bristol, and hopefully we can celebrate a good finish when it's all said and done."

Through the season's first seven races, Hornish is currently 29th in the point standings with his best finish, a 12th-place result, coming in the Daytona 500.
