Seven Races;
GameStop Returns for Seventh Season with 10
Races
Joe Gibbs Racing announces today that Reser’s Fine Foods and
GameStop will return in 2014 to sponsor Matt Kenseth in the No. 20
Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota NASCAR Nationwide Series Toyota.
Reser’s Fine Foods will appear on JGR’s No. 20 Toyota seven
times during the 2014 season starting with the season opening race
at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday, February 22.
Meanwhile, GameStop will return for their seventh season with JGR
in the Nationwide Series with 10 races that start in Las Vegas on
March 8 and conclude with the season finale at Homestead on
November 15.
Last season Kenseth returned to drive in the NASCAR Nationwide
Series for the first time since a single race in the 2011 season.
Kenseth made 16 total starts in 2013 and recorded two wins, seven
top-five and 14 top-ten finishes. He gave each of his sponsors a
trip to victory lane, winning the July Daytona race with GameStop
and giving Reser’s Fine Foods its first ever win in October at
Kansas.
“It’s exciting to have GameStop and Reser’s Fine Foods back on
board with us this season,” said Kenseth. “They are tremendous
partners and I am looking forward to working with Kevin (crew chief
Kevin Kidd). Hopefully we can provide a few celebrations for each
of them in victory lane this season.”
The No. 20 Reser’s Fine Foods Toyota will appear in seven races
in 2014 beginning with the season opener in Daytona on February 22.
The seven race schedule for Reser’s Fine Foods is as follows:

“We applaud the determination and winning drive Matt and JGR
displayed last year,” said Mark Reser, president and CEO of Reser’s
Fine Foods. “Sponsoring this championship caliber team helps us
increase the visibility of our brands and reach new customers in
key markets across the country. It’s a win-win partnership.”

2014 beginning in Las Vegas. The complete schedule for GameStop is

"Our GameStop team is thrilled to have Matt back as our driver
and for him to be wheeling the No. 20 Toyota again for us," said
Bob Puzon, senior vice president of merchandising for GameStop.
"I've been a fan of NASCAR for more than 20 years, and the
excitement surrounding Matt has never been higher. Of course, it
also doesn't hurt that he is also a huge gamer. I hear he tells
people gaming is his 'homework' since GameStop is his sponsor. Not
only is Matt great for NASCAR, he's great for GameStop. We look
forward to a very successful year with the No. 20 team."
