Pocono Raceway and Axalta Coating Systems have announced a multi-year
entitlement agreement which includes the renaming of the annual June NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series race held at ‘The Tricky Triangle’ as the Axalta “We Paint Winners” 400.
“We are very excited to share this great news, in cooperation with everyone
at Axalta Coating Systems,” said Pocono Raceway President/CEO, Brandon
Igdalsky. “They have been a great addition to the Pocono Raceway family, and we
look forward to growing this relationship in 2015 and beyond. What makes this
even more special is the fact we get to work hand-in-hand with a true global
powerhouse who also calls the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ‘home.’”
“Axalta is proud of its 22-year motorsports partnership,” said Axalta Vice
President and head of its North America business, Nigel Budden. “As a leader
in the US refinish business, our paint graces race cars that burn rubber on the
track each season and we proudly support four-time NASCAR Cup
Series champion Jeff Gordon. Now, we are pleased to expand our racing
involvement as Pocono Raceway’s title sponsor of the upcoming race on June 7.
We look forward to cheering on Gordon as he vies for a seventh win at Pocono
Raceway.”
Axalta Coating Systems is “The Official Finish” of Stewart-Haas Racing and
Hendrick Motorsports, the two most recent NSCS championship organizations. They
also sponsor the No. 24 Axalta Coatings Chevrolet SS
driven by Jeff Gordon, who is the winningest NASCAR driver at Pocono with six
victories (June 1996, June 1997, July 1998, June 2007, June 2011 and August
2012).
