The #42 Chevy of Juan Pablo Montoya will bear the 100th Anniversary paint scheme while the #47 Toyota of Bobby Labonte will sport a brown retro look, reminiscent of one of Cloroxs first bottles of bleach. Bobby Labonte, Driver, #47 Clorox Toyota Camry: ‘The Clorox Company has been a partner of JTG Daugherty Racing for over a decade and thats pretty special to Tad and Jodi (Geschickter), Brad (Daugherty) and the entire racing organization. The Clorox Company first sponsored a NASCAR Nationwide Series entered by JTG Daugherty Racing with driver Robert Pressley. Today, JTG Daugherty Racing is proud to celebrate Cloroxs centennial. Its neat we are celebrating their milestone as I reach a milestone of my own when I make my 700th NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career start Talladega weekend.” Juan Pablo Montoya, Driver, #42 Clorox Chevrolet SS: ‘It is always great to partner with great brands especially when there is as much excitement as there is this year with Clorox about their 100th Anniversary. I cant wait to get that car onto the track.” Tim Smith, Vice President, The Clorox Company: ‘The Clorox Company is honored to be a part of the NASCAR community, and we are thrilled to mark our 100th anniversary with two Clorox-themed cars on the Talladega track.
