    Joe Gibbs Racing announced today (8/19/21), that longtime partner Auto-Owners Insurance have extended their sponsorship deal with driver Martin Truex, Jr. The length of the contract extension is unknown, but they will continue to be a primary sponsor on the No. 19 Toyota Camry through at-least the 2022 season.

Auto-Owners is based in Lansing, Michigan and offers multiple lines of insurance, including life, home, auto and business to customers in 26 states. They are also one of the nation’s largest insurers writing more than five million policies annually, has been a longtime supporter of Martin Truex, Jr. dating back to 2016 at Furniture Row Racing and joined Joe Gibbs Racing with Truex in 2019. The combination has proved to be a winning one as Truex has wheeled the Auto-Owners Camry to multiple wins, including a dominant victory at Darlington Raceway earlier this season.

In addition to supporting Truex on the track, the company has also become a key partner supporting the Martin Truex Jr. Foundation through multiple initiatives such as “Ride With Martin”, a fundraising program started by Auto-Owners that allows company associates to have their names placed on the hood of Truex’s race car in exchange for a donation to the Martin Truex Jr. Foundation. This weekend at Michigan International Speedway, Truex’s Auto-Owners Camry will feature the names of 2,061 associates who contributed to the Martin Truex Jr. Foundation.
