Discount Tire Continues Team Penske Partnership
Discount Tire and Team Penske are extending their partnership of nearly two decades.
Discount Tire will remain a top sponsor of Team Penske and will continue to serve as a primary partner of the No. 2 Ford Mustang Dark Horse, driven by Austin Cindric, 2022 Daytona 500 champion.
The tire and wheel retailer will also remain a primary partner of the No. 12 Ford Mustang Dark Horse, driven by Ryan Blaney, NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) champion, in select events and an associate partner across all three Team Penske NCS entries. New for 2026, Discount Tire will also serve as a primary partner for Joey Logano, three-time NCS champion and the No. 22 Ford Mustang Dark Horse for a single race.
"We look forward to celebrating many more victories on the track and activating our partnership in meaningful ways for our people, our customers, and all racing fans," says Michael Zuieback, executive chairman at Discount Tire.
Team Penske won three consecutive NCS titles, and a total of five NCS championships during Discount Tire's time as a partner. In addition to Cindric's Daytona 500 crown, Blaney has scored two consecutive Fall Martinsville victories (2023 and 2024) in Discount Tire colors, say company officials.
"We are proud of Team Penske's long-standing partnership with Discount Tire and the success we have had together, including multiple championships and a victory in the Daytona 500," says Roger Penske.
Discount Tire and Team Penske have teamed up to produce 38 race victories across NCS and NASCAR Grand National Series competition, with 12 combined championships celebrated during the partnership. The 38 wins represent the second highest total among all NASCAR primary sponsors in Team Penske history.
The partnership will also continue with Team Penske's winning NTT INDYCAR SERIES program. Discount Tire and Tire Rack will return as associate sponsors across the No. 2 Chevrolet driven by two-time Indianapolis 500 winner and two-time series champion Josef Newgarden, the No. 3 Chevrolet piloted by seven-time series winner Scott McLaughlin and the No. 12 Chevrolet raced by fifth-year series driver David Malukas.
Discount Tire's primary races for the 2026 NCS season include the Daytona 500, Circuit of The Americas, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Darlington Raceway, Bristol Motor Speedway, Kansas Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway, Michigan International Speedway, Sonoma Raceway, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Phoenix Raceway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Martinsville Speedway and Homestead-Miami Speedway.
