Air Force, Richard Petty Motorsports to again join forces in 2019

The Air Force and Richard Petty Motorsports will continue their partnership for the 11th consecutive year in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series in 2019. The Air Force will be a two-race primary sponsor of the famed No. 43 with driver Bubba Wallace, as well as a major associate throughout the season. "The Air Force continues to see benefits from our partnership with Richard Petty Motorsports and driver, Bubba Wallace," said Maj. Ross McKnight, chief, Air Force National Events Branch at Air Force Recruiting Service. "Wallace Jr. and his personality align well with our target audience's interests and the Air Force's commitment to teamwork and technology." As a partner of the No. 43 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 team, the Air Force colors will again be featured during the two most patriotic race weekends of the year: July 4 weekend at Daytona International Speedway and Veterans Day weekend at ISM Raceway in Phoenix. "The combination of Bubba Wallace and the iconic No. 43 provides a continuing sponsorship opportunity that reflects our Air Force core values of integrity, service and excellence, as well as has a positive impact on generating public awareness about the U.S. Air Force, our people and our mission," McKnight said. "Like NASCAR, much of our work is based on science, technology, engineering and math principles combined with teamwork and training. This sponsorship is a great way to highlight that connection."
