Fifth Third Bank (NASDAQ: FITB) has renewed its relationship
with Roush Fenway Racing as primary sponsor on the No. 17 Monster
Energy NASCAR Cup Series Ford with driver Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. in a
multi-year deal.
“I’m so appreciative to continue racing with Fifth Third Bank on
the car. It’s great to have partners who believe in the sport and
are committed long-term to supporting the business of racing,” said
Stenhouse.
Fifth Third Bank came onboard with Roush Fenway Racing in 2012
and has served as a primary sponsor on the No. 17 Ford for the past
six seasons.
“We’re excited to extend our relationship with Roush Fenway
Racing and Ricky Stenhouse, Jr.,” said Matt Jauchius, chief
marketing officer for Fifth Third Bank. “To hear Ricky exclaim our
tagline, ‘that’s Banking a Fifth Third Better, boys’ when he
captured his first victory this season was incredible. We’re
banking on another successful run with him behind the wheel.”
Stenhouse captured his first two Monster Energy NASCAR Cup
Series wins while sporting the Fifth Third colors during the 2017
season. He will make his 173rd career Monster Energy Cup Series
start at Darlington Raceway in South Carolina on September 3, where
the No. 17 Fifth Third Ford will feature a throwback paint scheme
inspired by a Darrell Waltrip 1997 paint scheme.
“The Roush team has been an outstanding partner for the past six
seasons, and this goes beyond the race track. With their help,
we’ve become the preferred bank of the motorsports industry,
providing strategic financial advice and services to teams, tracks,
drivers, suppliers and corporate sponsors,” remarked Tom Heiks,
Group Regional President for Fifth Third Bank.
The Bank is actively involved within the racing industry,
serving on the North Carolina Motorsports Association (NCMA) board,
sponsoring the NCMA Industry Tribute Awards Banquet and exhibiting
at the Performance Racing Industry Tradeshow. Fifth Third also
supports numerous motorsports charities including the NASCAR
Foundation, Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation, Speedway Children’s
Charities, B.R.A.K.E.S. and Motor Racing Outreach.
“It’s a privilege to continue our relationship with Fifth Third
Bank,” said Steve Newmark, president of Roush Fenway Racing. “There
are few sponsors in NASCAR who have as deep of an understanding of
the industry and whose primary objective is to serve the wellbeing
of businesses and individuals in the sport.”
In addition to its partnership with Roush Fenway Racing, Fifth
Third Bank is the Official Bank of Daytona International Speedway
and the Daytona 500, and a partner with Rahal Letterman Lanigan
Racing in the IndyCar series.
