HORSEPOWER AND HOOPS: This weekend, the No. 48 Ally Chevy will don the iconic red, white and blue colors of the NBA’s Detroit Pistons. Ally, who is a partner of the No. 48 team and the Pistons, brought their worlds together for this Sunday’s race. Click here to check out all the angles of the fresh look for Michigan.
PISTONS VISIT: On Friday at the Henry Ford Detroit Pistons Performance Center, Bowman, crew chief Blake Harris and Ally influencer and Super Bowl champion Bernard Pollard will visit the Pistons facility. There, they will do basketball drills, play A-L-L-Y (Ally’s version of H-O-R-S-E) and then talk about what it means to have the NBA world crossover with NASCAR.
ALLY’S BACKYARD: Michigan is what the full season primary sponsor of Bowman and the No. 48 team consider to be its home track. Ally Financial is based in Detroit, approximately 78 miles east of the venue. Ally Detroit Center, formerly One Detroit Center, is a skyscraper located in the downtown area overlooking the Detroit Financial District. The 43-story tower is the tallest office building in the city and the second-tallest building in the state.
SAVE THEM ALL: Bowman and primary partner Ally are teaming up this year to bring back the Best Friends Animal Society donation effort. This week, the duo will make charitable contributions to the Animal Aid of Branch County, which serves the local community in Coldwater, Michigan. Bowman and Ally will donate $4,800 to Best Friends and the Animal Aid of Branch County. Ally will increase its donation to $10,000 if the No. 48 team wins on Sunday.
