Marlin, a 30-year veteran of NASCAR racing said, “I always get asked about retirement. I’m not ready to call it quits just yet, but when I do, I’ll know where to go for expert advice and service. I look forward to having The Principal as our sponsor. We’re looking to have a good run this weekend.”
Nemechek, who has been racing in the Cup series full time since 1994, was equally excited about the double sponsorship between The Principal and MB2. “This will be pretty neat having two team cars with the same primary sponsor,” said Nemechek. “The only thing better is to have both cars running up front and give The Principal strong finishes in its debut race.”
MB2’s Principal Financial Group Chevrolets - Marlin’s No. 14 and Nemechek’s No. 01 - will make their first appearance on the Phoenix one-mile track during practice on Friday, November 10 at 11:35 a.m.
“We’re excited about the Principal Financial Group joining our team,” said Jay Frye, CEO and general manager of MB2. “The company has been involved in the past as a NASCAR sponsor and we’re elated about MB2 being selected for its first venture as a primary sponsor.
The U.S. Army, Nemechek’s main sponsor at 34 Cup races, will have an associate status on the 01 car in Phoenix. Marlin’s associate sponsors will be Waste Management and Ginn Clubs & Resorts.
