Black’s Tire & Service is partnering with Down East Heating & Air Conditioning Inc. and TRICON Garage on Tanner Gray’s No. 15 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Ecosave 200 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
The race, taking place Oct. 9 in Charlotte, continues the partnership between Black's Tire and Down East while celebrating "a relationship built on serving customers, supporting their communities and taking care of people," according to officials.
“Some of the best parts of our racing program are the opportunities to share it with the customers and friends who help make our business what it is,” says Rick Benton of Black’s Tire. “Jason and the Down East team are part of our extended family. We’re proud to have them back on Tanner’s truck at Charlotte and put a spotlight on the people and service behind their company.”
“Seeing Down East on the No. 15 truck is a proud moment for our entire team,” says Jason Humphrey, president of Down East Heating & Air Conditioning Inc. “Our employees work hard every day to take care of our customers, and this partnership gives us a chance to celebrate them on a bigger stage. We’re grateful to Black’s Tire for bringing us into their racing family and excited to cheer on Tanner and TRICON at Charlotte.”
“Charlotte Motor Speedway is always a good track for our TRICON team, and I’m really looking forward to getting back there with Black’s Tire and Down East Heating & Air,” says Gray. “We had a lot of speed back in May and brought it home eighth, so I am optimistic that we can put together another solid run and contend for a top five on Friday night."
"Black’s Tire’s longstanding support of Gray and TRICON connects its racing program with the customers, team members and communities that have supported the company for nearly a century," say Black's Tire officials. "Bringing Down East back as a primary partner extends that connection and gives another Carolina business an opportunity to share its story with NASCAR fans."
The Ecosave 200 at Charlotte Motor Speedway is scheduled for 5 p.m. ET on Oct. 9.
