SHANE van Gisbergen will carry the branding of American fast food giant Wendy’s in multiple NASCAR races this year.
The Cup Series Chevrolets of van Gisbergen and Trackhouse Racing teammates Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez will all have ‘associate branding’ from Wendy’s – which is no relation to the Wendy’s Milk Bar chain that operates in Australia.
The high-profile company will further step up into a naming rights capacity on SVG’s car at Talladega Superspeedway in April, as well as for one to-be-confirmed Xfinity Series race on his Kaulig Racing #97.
“Wendy’s is an iconic brand! It is really cool to move to the US and get to be a part of this partnership from the start,” said van Gisbergen.
“Between my racing schedule and my planned road trips to get to see as much of the United States as possible, I know when I’m looking for a bite to eat on the road, I’ll be making a pit stop at Wendy’s.
“Racing in NASCAR is a dream, so it is really exciting to have a sponsor who is supporting that dream for me.”
Van Gisbergen’s bumper 2024 campaign will begin with a Daytona double-header next month, where he will contest both the ARCA and Xfinity components of the famous ‘500’ event in Florida.
