Lansing's Own Auto-Owners Boosts NASCAR Sponsorship

Lansing-based Auto-Owners Insurance has agreed to sponsor Martin Truex,Jr. and the #78 car for more NASCAR races in the 2017 and 2018 seasons. And, after being the primary sponsor for three races last year, Auto-Owners will now be the primary sponsor for six races in the next two seasons. One of those races will be the June race at Michigan International Speedway. The other five will be at Kansas, Indianapolis, Richmond, Charlotte and Phoenix.

As you may remember, Martin won the Southern 500 in Darlington last year in the Auto-Owners car. Hopefully, he can get another win this year in the Auto-Owners' car. And that means he'll probably be visiting Auto-Owners World Headquarters sometime this year, too. Tell him we said, "hey".

Here's the press release from Furniture Row Racing.
