Richard Petty Motorsports announced that Walmart along with consumer brands, Blue-Emu, SlimFast and Natrol, LLC have aligned to serve as sponsors of the #9 Ford Fusion driven by Sam Hornish Jr. in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series race at the Chicagoland Speedway. Blue-Emu and Walmart were partners with RPM earlier this year which led to an expanded partnership with Walmart for the Chicagoland Speedway event. Walmart is a well known retailer to the NASCAR fan base as millions visit its retail locations on a weekly basis. And, while in the Chicagoland area for the race, NASCAR fans will be stopping in at the local Walmart to stock up on the requisite weekend supplies. SlimFast and Natrol, LLC are new partners in the NASCAR platform with RPM. Walmart has over 5,000 stores nationwide and reaches the millions of NASCAR fans who are among the most loyal of any sports fans.(Richard Petty Motorsports)
