On Wednesday, July 12, Joe Gibbs Racing announced that Mavis Tires & Brakes had joined Denny Hamlin’s 11 Toyota Camry as a primary sponsor for multiple races in the ongoing NASCAR Cup Series season.
According to a press release from the team, the Mavis Tires & Brakes will adorn the #11 Toyota in this weekend’s race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
As part of the announcement, JGR revealed the scheme that Hamlin will use in Nashville. His #11 car will feature a brightly-colored design with yellow door numbers and logos on both sides.
After New Hampshire, the light-blue and yellow scheme will then return at Pocono Raceway (July 23), Richmond Raceway (July 30), Michigan International Speedway (August 6), and Watkins Glen International (August 20).
In a statement, Mavis Tires & Brakes co-CEO David Sorbaro said they feel privileged to partner with NASCAR and are excited to work with JGR and Denny Hamlin.
Sorbaro said:
“It is an incredible honor to team up with NASCAR, the largest spectator sport in America, and Joe Gibbs Racing with Denny Hamlin. This union is a perfect fit — as the largest independent tire and vehicle service in the U.S., we are thrilled at the possibilities our partnership can bring.”
In a statement, Stephen Sorbaro, Mavis co-CEO, said:
“Mavis was founded on value, excellent customer service and family. This is an exciting partnership that complements our dedication to the automotive industry and our connection to communities and neighborhoods around the country. We look forward to a great season with our customers and the Mavis family cheering on No. 11 for a win.”
