Last year, 3M came on board for 10 races in what turned out to be Jeff Gordon‘s final season in the car. Elliott takes over the ride in 2016 after two full-time seasons in the NASCAR XFINITY Series for JR Motorsports. NAPA Auto Parts (24 races) and Kelley Blue Book (two races) have already been announced as primary sponsors for the upcoming season with Elliott.
The 2016 campaign will see the 2014 XFINITY Series champion competing for Sunoco Rookie of the Year honors. Elliott made five Sprint Cup starts in 2015 in the No. 25 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.
