Richard Childress Racing (RCR) announced today that Menards , the third-largest home improvement store in the United States, has signed a multi-year partnership renewal of the #27 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) entry driven by Paul Menard. Menards first partnered with RCR in 2011 and enjoyed a top-10 finish in the Daytona 500. Later that year, Menard scored his first NSCS victory by claiming the prestigious Brickyard 400 checkered flag at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. ‘It is great to have Paul Menard back in the #27 Menards Chevrolet as our driver’ said Richard Childress, president and CEO of RCR. ‘He has shown his ability to be consistent, competitive and win on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series level. He did that in the Brickyard 400 (2011) with us at Indy. Having ‘Slugger Labbe (crew chief) and the entire crew coming back gives us something to build on to win more races, make The Chase and contend for a championship. We are very excited to continue our partnership with Menards. They are a great organization with strong customer service values who successfully use their racing program to promote their business. We couldnt be prouder to represent them as part of our race team and future.” ‘My family, all of our great team members at Menards and I are excited to extend our partnership with Richard and Richard Childress Racing’ said Menard. ‘Being part of a family-owned and operated business I can relate to the teams goals and objectives. We will continue to grow together and build our relationship, achieving even greater accomplishments in the future.”( RCR )
