Kaulig Racing announced today that Suburban Propane, a nationwide distributor of propane, renewable energy alternatives and related products and services, will serve as the primary sponsor of AJ Allmendinger’s No. 16 in the NASCAR Cup Series night race at Bristol Motor Speedway on Saturday, September 19.
Suburban Propane is one of the nation’s leading propane distributors, serving residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural customers across the United States. For nearly a century, the company has helped fuel homes, businesses and outdoor living experiences while expanding its commitment to renewable energy solutions and community engagement. As an Official Sponsor of NASCAR, Suburban Propane continues to connect with passionate race fans through one of America’s most recognizable sports.
“We are happy to welcome Suburban Propane to the Kaulig Racing family, and have them on board the No. 16 at Bristol,” said AJ Allmendinger. “It’s special to represent a brand with such a long history of serving communities across the country and helping meet America’s energy needs. Their connection with NASCAR makes this partnership a nice fit, and I’m really looking forward to helping showcase the products and services they provide.”
“We are excited to partner with Kaulig Racing and bring the Suburban Propane brand to NASCAR fans across the country,” said Nandini Sankara, Vice President of Marketing and Brand Strategy and Spokesperson at Suburban Propane. “This represents the perfect platform to connect with consumers who share our passion for outdoor living, family, and community. Whether it’s grilling with friends, enjoying a camping weekend, or gathering around the racetrack, propane helps fuel the moments that bring people together. We look forward to working with Kaulig Racing and AJ Allmendinger to showcase the many ways propane powers everyday experiences.”
At Bristol Motor Speedway, the No. 16 Suburban Propane driver has three top-10 finishes and led 78 laps in the NASCAR Cup Series. In the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, he has one win, one top-five finish and four top-10 finishes. He also has one NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series start. It’s a track that Allmendinger favors.
“I do think the Bristol night race is probably one of the coolest races that we have in NASCAR,” said Allmendinger. “I always tell people that. If you haven’t been to a NASCAR race, I would say this one is the most special.
“Bristol at night is a lot of fun and we have good memories there,” continued Allmendinger. “Winning the Xfinity (NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series) race and sitting on pole for the Cup race last year was special. I felt like in the spring there we were pretty good. We’re ready to go back there and build on what we learned earlier this year and bring home a strong finish for Suburban Propane.”
The NASCAR Cup Series Bristol Motor Speedway night race is scheduled for Saturday, September 19, at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast live on USA, PRN Radio, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (Ch. 90).
