competes at the highest level in NASCAR, and we couldn't be more
proud to be part of this thrilling journey."

UniFirst No. 9 Chevrolet with its signature green scheme. Looking
ahead, UniFirst is excited to continue its partnership with
Hendrick Motorsports next season,
serving as the primary sponsor for five races in total for the 2025
NASCAR Cup Series. Additionally, UniFirst will maintain its role as
an associate sponsor of Elliott and the No. 9 team throughout the
entire season.
"We've had a decent amount of success at the Charlotte ROVAL and
I'm hoping that continues this weekend with our No. 9 UniFirst
Chevrolet," said Elliott. "There is a lot on the line in this race.
We need to advance to the next round of the playoffs to be able to
continue our run for a second championship and I believe we're
fully capable of doing that."
