Food City will partner with Kaulig Racing for this weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series Food City Dirt Race at Bristol, as it will sponsor the No. 16 car of AJ Allmendinger and the No. 31 car of Justin Haley through laundry detergent brands Tide and Gain.

Last season Food City partnered with Petty GMS (now LEGACY MOTOR CLUB) in sponsorships at Dirt Bristol with the iconic laundry brands.

Realtree Camouflage will serve as the primary sponsor for Austin Hill and the No. 62 Beard Motorsports team in the upcoming NASCAR Cup Series GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway.

Hill, 28, finished 18th in his NASCAR Cup Series debut last season at Michigan and attempted to make the field for the 2023 Daytona 500, but ultimately missed the show. Hill has been a dominant force in the NASCAR Xfinity Series this season as he has won three races already in 2023.

There are a total of 37 cars on the preliminary entry list for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series Food City Dirt Race at Bristol Motor Speedway. The eighth event of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season.

The field for Sunday’s Food City Dirt Race at Bristol Motor Speedway – the third race for the NASCAR Cup Series on the dirt-covered half-mile facility – will consist of the same 37 teams from last weekend at Richmond, albeit with a couple of driver changes.

For the second straight weekend, Kaulig Racing will be fielding a third entry in the NASCAR Cup Series, with Jonathan Davenport behind the wheel this weekend, rather than Chandler Smith. Davenport will make his NASCAR Cup Series debut in Sunday’s event.
