Kubota Tractor Corporation has signed a multi-year contract extension with NASCAR Cup Series organization Trackhouse Racing. The extension will see the brand continue sponsoring the team through the 2027 season.
As part of the extended partnership, Kubota will remain the Official Tractory Company of Trackhouse Racing, as it has since 2022.
Last season, Kubota served as a six-race primary sponsor of Chastain in the NASCAR Cup Series, which included a victory in the September 29 event at Kansas Speedway.
“It’s awesome to continue an authentic partnership with a world-renowned brand like Kubota,” said Ross Chastain, driver of the No. 1 Chevrolet. “Kubota’s support of Trackhouse Racing and agriculture means the world to me, and I hope to get them back to Victory Lane this year.”
In 2025, Kubota will return for another six-race stint aboard the No. 1 Chevrolet, beginning at Phoenix Raceway in March. The company will return to Las Vegas, Homestead, Sonoma, New Hampshire, and Kansas.
The company will also serve as a one-race primary sponsor of Chastain’s teammate a Trackhouse Racing, Daniel Suarez, at Texas Motor Speedway.
“It’s great to have a brand like Kubota supporting our race team,” said Suarez. “I think their continued partnership says a lot about them and Trackhouse Racing and how to build a successful relationship.
A new element to the partnership this season is the brand’s support in one NASCAR Xfinity Series event for Shane Van Gisbergen. The Auckland, New Zeavland-native will run the No. 9 Kubota Chevrolet for JR Motorsports at Watkins Glen International.
“I’m an outdoorsy guy and it’s great to be connected with a brand like Kubota,” said Van Gisbergen. “I’ve already put their equipment to use building out a racetrack at my house, so the timing has been perfect. I’m looking forward to driving the Kubota car in the Xfinity race at Watkins Glen and going for the win.”
For the third consecutive year, Kubota and Trackhouse Racing are putting the partnership in overdrive to support farmer veterans. In the races, Kubota serves as a primary sponsor, and a $10,000 donation will be made to the Farmer Veteran Coalition for a top-10 finish.
The Farmer Veteran Coalition (FVC) is a non-profit organization that assists military veterans and currently serving members of the Armed Forces to transition into careers in farming, and since 2015, Kubota has partnered with FVC on the “Geared to Give” program which has provided more than $1 million to the coalition in the form of organizational support, grants to veterans and 46 pieces of donated equipment. Chastain’s top-10’s throughout the last two seasons have generated a total of $70,000 in donations.
“After incredible seasons with Ross, Daniel, and the Trackhouse team, we’re excited to keep the momentum going through the 2027 season,” said Todd Stucke, President of Kubota Tractor Corporation. “Seeing Ross win at Kansas in the Kubota car and Daniel’s fifth-place finish right here in our backyard at Texas Motor Speedway were big moments for all of us in Kubota Country, and now with Shane on the team, we’re looking forward to many more this year and beyond.”
The No. 1 Kubota Chevrolet will debut on track at Phoenix Raceway on Sunday, March 9 at 3:30 PM ET on FOX, MRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
