"What The Dale Jr. Foundation has been able to accomplish since we started in 2007 has exceeded my expectations," Earnhardt Jr. said. "Thanks to the generosity of many people, we've been able to make a difference and donate to a lot of great foundations. I'm especially grateful to the folks at Diet Mountain Dew and National Guard who have given the Foundation this paint scheme again. It means a lot to me to have their support."
Richard Petty Motorsports has added a new backer for the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. The latest addition to the sponsor lineup is Transportation Impact, which will make its NASCAR debut as the primary sponsor of the #43 team and driver Aric Almirola in the Pocono 400 at Pocono Raceway on June 10.

Transportation
Impact is a parcel spend management firm headquartered in Emerald Isle, NC. The
company comes to NASCAR for the first time, to help high-volume parcel shippers
reduce cost through innovative audit and negotiation services, helping
companies identify and obtain savings they can use to fund new initiatives,
retain employees or hire new ones. The company was co-founded by Travis Burt
and Keith Byrd; both of whom say they are anxious to work with the team.
"When
people see the Richard Petty brand, the first things that come to mind are
being the best and doing so with integrity," said Burt. "As a
business owner, I always want my company to be the best, but only as long as
success doesn't interfere with doing the right thing."
After serving as the
primary sponsor of David Ragan's No. 34 Ford at Daytona and Texas, Al's Liner will back the Front Row Motorsports No. 38 Ford
driven by David Gilliland in
Saturday's Sprint All-Star Showdown.
Clayton Tomasino,
President and Owner of Al's Liner and Scorpion
Coatings commented on his company picking up an additional race, saying,
"NASCAR has been a great B2B tool for us so far. Front Row Motorsports is
a terrific partner for our Al's Liner and Scorpion Brands. We will be pulling
for David Gilliland to race his way into the All-Star Race and join teammate
David Ragan."

Racing into the All-Star
Race is the goal for Gilliland, who finished eighth in last year's Showdown.
"Being a part of the All-Star Race would be very special to me. I'm happy
to have Al's Liner and Scorpion on board this weekend. Our No. 38 Ford team has
had strong runs the past two weekends. Making it into the All-Star Race would
really give this team some momentum heading into the summer stretch of the
schedule."
David Ragan, meanwhile, will pilot the No. 34 U.S. Shredder Ford in this Saturday's NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race. Ragan
said he is happy to be racing at Charlotte again, a track where he has posted
three career Top-10 finishes, including a victory in last season's Sprint
All-Star Showdown and an eighth-place effort in last year's NASCAR Sprint
All-Star Race.
"Charlotte has been
a good track for me throughout my career,” said Ragan. “I had a strong showing
here last season in both the All-Star Race and the 600. We are still working to
take our intermediate program at Front Row up to the next level, but Charlotte
is a track where Fords and Roush Yates Engines have been strong."
The race will mark U.S.
Shredder's first foray into NASCAR. The company, which headquarters its sales
team in Trussville, Alabama, noticed Ragan's strong run two weeks ago at
Talladega and decided to come on board. "We saw David and Front Row
Motorsports running well, and that there was space available on David's car. We
contacted Front Row Motorsports and are glad we could work something out,"
said President, Bill Tigner.
U.S. Shredder is a
supplier of equipment and parts to the Scrap Industry. The company supplies
equipment, parts, castings, wear parts and service to essentially any aspect of
the Scrap Metal Recycling Industry throughout the world. The industry is a $180
billion dollar per year industry and directly employs over 137,000 workers. The
company is a member of the ISRI, the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries,
which U.S. Shredder has invited to share space on the hood of the No. 34 car.

Jamie McMurray’s No.
1 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet is sport
a new look for Saturday night’s Sprint Showdown at Charlotte, trading in its
familiar orange livery for a white-and-camouflage
paint scheme with orange numbers.
The National Wild Turkey Federation and its
flying turkey logo will grace the quarter panels of Tony Stewart’s No. 14 Stewart
Haas Racing Chevy in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series All-Star Race. The NWTF sponsorship
is a part of the Conservation Fund's "Racing for America's Wildlife"
program, designed to engage the NASCAR community in conserving America's
hunting and fishing heritage through habitat protection, restoration,
education, and outreach.
"We
are very proud to partner with our good friends at Stewart-Haas Racing and
Richard Childress Racing in this tribute to the NWTF and their work in
conservation and education," said Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris.
"All of us at Bass Pro Shops, SHR and RCR are happy to donate these special
paint schemes as a tribute to this great conservation organization and their
thousands of grassroots volunteers who are also NASCAR fans."
The
NWTF will also appear on Richard
Childress Racing's #3 Chevy Silverado driven by Ty Dillon in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
