Valvoline and Hendrick Motorsports have extended their partnership through '27. The motor oil brand "will continue as sponsor of Kyle Larson (three races) and William Byron (two races), along with maintaining its status as the Official Lubricants Partner of Hendrick Motorsports and as a major associate sponsor for the team’s cars." The five annual primary sponsorships in NASCAR Cup races "represents an increase of three over the previous three seasons." For '22, the company also "added a sixth primary race and will be featured on Byron’s car for Sunday’s Cup race" at Nashville Superspeedway (NBCSPORTS.com, 6/21).
