NAPA Auto Parts is expanding and extending its sponsorship of Chase Elliott’s Hendrick Motorsports team, it was announced Tuesday.

NAPA Auto Parts will continue to sponsor Elliott’s team through the 2020 season. The company will increase its sponsorship of Elliott’s team from 24 to 26 races beginning this season and through the contact extension. NAPA Auto Parts will be the team’s sponsor in the Daytona 500 in each of those seasons. NAPA Auto Parts will be an associate sponsor in races it is not the primary sponsor.

“The relationship with NAPA has been a major part of my career starting in 2014,” Elliott said in a statement from the team. “Their support has been huge for me, and I’m very thankful for what they’ve done for our whole team at Hendrick Motorsports. They’re a committed partner, and it’s been a pleasure meeting the people involved with their business all over the country. I’m proud to represent all of those folks and look forward to having them part of our No. 9 team for many more years.”

“NAPA made an incredible commitment early on in Chase’s career, and that has only grown over the years,” said Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports. “They’re passionate about our sport, but the real key is that racing works for their employees, their customers and their overall business. The No. 9 team and all of us at Hendrick Motorsports are dedicated to NAPA’s success, and we look forward to working together and continuing to deliver in every aspect of our program.”
