Legacy Motor Club has announced that Hertz has signed on as
primary sponsor of John Hunter Nemechek’s No. 42 Toyota Camry XSE for the
NASCAR Cup Series race at Dover Motor Speedway on July 20.
Hertz livery will make its NASCAR return on the high-banked
concrete mile at Dover—known as the “Monster Mile,” bringing international
motorsports synergy under the Knighthead umbrella.
Hertz Car Sales will
also be featured prominently on the racecar.
“We’re excited to see Hertz and Hertz
Car Sales on the No. 42 this summer at Dover,” said John Hunter Nemechek,
driver of the LEGACY MOTOR CLUB Toyota. “It’s awesome to represent such a
recognizable global brand, and even more special knowing it ties into the
broader Knighthead motorsport vision that spans NASCAR and endurance racing.”
Hertz’s entry into the NASCAR Cup Series complements its
sponsorship of Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA’s No. 12 and No. 38 Cadillacs in the
WEC. This cross-series sponsorship strategy, backed by Knighthead, exemplifies
a global approach to brand visibility and performance alignment across premier
racing platforms.
Gil West, Hertz Executive Officer said in a statement, “Hertz
has a proud legacy in motorsports and we’re excited to expand our presence by
partnering with LEGACY MOTOR CLUB and John Hunter Nemechek for the NASCAR Cup
Series race at Dover.
He added, “This collaboration not only highlights our iconic
brand on one of racing’s biggest stages, but also showcases Hertz Car Sales as
a trusted source of high-quality used vehicles. It’s an exciting opportunity to
connect with fans and customers through the thrill of racing.”
Fans can get their first look at the Hertz-branded No. 42
Toyota Camry XSE during practice and qualifying at Dover on July 19, with race
coverage airing nationally on TNT Sports.
