DGM Racing announced that Mike Albert Fleet Solutions (Mike Albert), one of the nation’s top 10 fleet management companies, is revving up its sponsorship game by joining forces with NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Ryan Ellis. Mike Albert will adorn DGM Racing’s No. 71 Chevrolet as a year-long associate with a full primary at Daytona International Speedway.
“Ryan’s approach to racing is a lot like how we manage fleets—it’s all about smart data and peak performance,” Marty Kuhn, President of Mike Albert, said. “Just as Ryan relies on data to help maintain his car for optimum performance and safety, we do the same for the tens of thousands of vehicles in the fleets we manage. NASCAR is just plain exciting, and Ryan embodies that spirit of precision and passion.”
Ellis is equally pumped about the partnership. “Mike Albert gets it—I’m impressed with the volume of data that Mike Albert relies on to ensure the vehicles in their fleets are well cared for so that they operate efficiently and safely,” Ellis said. “They keep thousands of vehicles running smoothly, just like my race team, DGM Racing, does with my race car. It’s a perfect match!”
Race fans can catch Ryan Ellis in the No. 71 Chevrolet, proudly sporting Mike Albert’s colors, at the legendary Daytona International Speedway on Friday, August 22, at 7:30 p.m. ET. Mike Albert will be the primary sponsor of Ellis in the NASCAR Xfinity Series race.
Ryan Ellis is a third-generation race car driver from Northern Virginia. He’s won national championships and races in major series such as Grand-Am/IMSA, Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup, and many more.
Racing is in his blood—Ryan comes from a family of motorsports legends. Ryan’s grandfathers were both involved in motorsports, as was his father, Jim, who raced his whole life until ultimately passing the reins to Ryan in 1993. Ryan started racing quarter midgets at just four years old, and he’s been climbing the NASCAR ranks since 2012. With multiple national championships under his belt and a reputation for killer racing skills, Ryan is a driver to watch, gaining a following for his racing skills and passion for the sport.
