Rheem Manufacturing
Company today announced that it will serve as primary sponsor for RAB Racing's
No. 99 Toyota Camry driven by James Buescher.
Rheem will be onboard
the No. 99 for 27 races, starting with the season opening event at Daytona
International Speedway on Feb. 22. Rheem partnered with Buescher during the
2013 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season and is one of the few sponsors in
the sport today that has visited Victory Lane in each of NASCAR's national
series, including the Daytona 500.
"The Rheem family
of quality brands is proud to continue our support of James Buescher by
realigning our sponsorship for the 2014 season," said JR Jones, Rheem
President and CEO. "In the past year, James has exemplified the core
values of Rheem which are reliable, quality performance with a commitment to
leadership and continuous improvement. We trust that James will continue to
drive our message of quality, innovation and consistently reliable performance
as he competes full time in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. We look forward to
working with Robby Benton and his entire RAB Racing organization as they strive
to deliver the same professional and quality results that Rheem is known for
worldwide. We can't wait to see James in the famed red and black Rheem machine
competing for the 2014 NASCAR Nationwide Series championship."
RAB Racing announced
last month that Buescher would join their team to compete for a NASCAR
Nationwide Series championship in 2014. Buescher is coming off his third
full-time season in the NCWTS. During a breakout season in 2012, Buescher
recorded his first NASCAR championship. Buescher followed up his successful
four win season in the NCWTS in 2012 with two victories in 2013. He has also
recorded one NNS win, taking the checkered flag in the 2012 series' opening
race at the famed Daytona International Speedway.
"I'm really excited
that I can continue my relationship with Rheem," said Buescher.
"Rheem is a very high quality global company with highly respected brands
and innovative technologies. I love that I can represent them both on and off
the race track. I was fortunate enough to give them a taste of victory last
season, and I hope that I can follow that up by delivering many more wins and
possibly a championship."
Buescher will first take
to the track in the No. 99 Rheem Toyota Camry at Daytona International
Speedway, competing in the DRIVE4COPD 300 on Feb. 22, 2014.
