"It's great to have Advance join us in welcoming the return of
NASCAR-sanctioned grassroots racing," said Ben Kennedy, vice
president, racing development, NASCAR. "Advance’s commitment to our
Weekly Series will develop some of the brightest NASCAR talent
across North America. Advance has a long history in racing, and
we’re thrilled to see its expanded presence from the grassroots all
the way through our national series.”
The NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series is one of the oldest
series in NASCAR, where champions are crowned at NASCAR-sanctioned
Home Tracks. The NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series was paused
in mid-March due to COVID-19 and recently returned with sanctioned
events at select tracks beginning June 6.
The series is run at nearly 60 NASCAR-sanctioned Home Tracks
throughout the United States and Canada. NASCAR Home Tracks are a
group of local short tracks sanctioned by NASCAR.
“Drivers and race fans in North America have not been able to
attend their local tracks due to COVID-19. We are excited to be
partnering with NASCAR and the NASCAR Weekly Series to support
tracks, drivers and fans as they resume live racing this year,”
said Jason McDonell, Advance’s chief marketing officer. “We are
committed to helping our customers advance in our stores, online
and with this multiyear partnership with NASCAR. We are passionate
about advancing local communities where we serve, and through this
sponsorship we’ll be able to help grow racing at the grassroots
level while supporting the next generation of champions.”
