Bass Pro Shops has renewed its partnership with Richard Childress Racing as the primary sponsor of Austin Dillon and the No. 3 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Dillon is currently fifth in the 2010 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series point standings. The current leader of the Raybestos Rookie of the Year point standings, Dillon has earned two victories, six pole positions (a series rookie record), as well as seven top-five and 16 top-10 finishes in 24 races. The RCR/Bass Pro Shops partnership continues a relationship which began in 1998 when the nation’s No. 1 outdoor retailer signed on as an associate sponsor of RCR’s No. 3 Chevrolet with legendary driver Dale Earnhardt. The relationship has continued with Kevin Harvick and the No. 29 Chevrolet and a six-race schedule with Kerry Earnhardt, Dale’s eldest son, in 2004. Bass Pro Shops was named as the primary sponsor of the No. 3 Chevrolet Silverado when RCR returned to NASCAR Camping World Truck Series competition this year for the first time since the conclusion of the 1999 season. Bass Pro Shops was founded in 1972 and is headquartered in Springfield, Mo. The outdoor retail leader has 56 stores throughout the United States and Canada, serving over 110 million sportsmen a year.(Richard Childress Racing PR)(11-16-2010)
