While other Sprint Cup
teams – most of them based in the Carolinas -- are cheering for the Carolina Panthers
in Sunday’s Super Bowl 50, Denver-based Furniture Row Racing will be rooting
for its hometown team, the Denver Broncos.
"Denver is our town,
the Broncos are our football team and the excitement level is peaking at our
Furniture Row race shop for the big game," said team president Joe Garone.
"When we qualified for our Super Bowl -- the Championship 4 at
Homestead -- (Broncos executive vice president/general manager) John Elway sent
a tweet wishing us good luck. It's our turn to reciprocate."
Garone added, "We love
Charlotte, the racing hub of NASCAR, but for a few hours on Super Bowl Sunday
the NFL team from Charlotte will be our adversary. We won't divulge names, but
along with the champion Cup driver, there are some other rabid Broncos fans
residing in the Charlotte area."
In less than a week after
Super Bowl 50, Furniture Row Racing and driver Martin Truex Jr. will be back in
action with the opening race of Daytona Speedweeks – the non-points Sprint
Unlimited on Saturday night, Feb. 13. The Daytona 500 is set for Sunday,
Feb. 21.
Once again, Furniture Row Racing finds itself in a precarious position among the teams it competes with in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. elevate hyderabad
