Lucas Oil, the leader in high-performance lubricants and a long-time partner of Richard Childress Racing (RCR), will serve as a three-race primary sponsor for two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch in 2025.
The company’s blue, red, and white paint scheme will adorn the No. 8 Chevrolet ZL1 beginning with Sunday’s Cook Out 400 at Martinsville Speedway.
Lucas Oil will also have its iconic brand on board Kyle Busch’s entry during the inaugural NASCAR Cup Series race weekend at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez on June 15, and during the Bass Pro Shops Night Race on September 13.
“Our relationship with RCR is built on mutual respect, trust, and a shared passion for racing,” said Brandon Bernstein, Director of Partnership Marketing for Lucas Oil. “We’ve been working side by side with RCR and ECR Engines for over a decade, constantly developing and improving our products to meet the extreme demands of NASCAR racing. And Kyle Busch is not just one of the best drivers out there – he’s also part of the Lucas Oil family. We’re proud to back him and the No. 8 team, whether it’s on a short track, a superspeedway, or even in the sprint car world with his son, Brexton.”
The expanded partnership highlights the continued support of Lucas Oil to Richard Childress Racing and its technical alliance with ECR Engines, which has been in place for more than a decade. As the official lubricant provider for RCR and ECR, Lucas Oil develops proprietary race-day formulations designed to maximize engine performance and reliability under the most demanding conditions.
“Season after season, Lucas Oil has given us the technical support needed to run up front and win, and that is what makes this partnership so exceptional and why we are thrilled to have them back as the primary sponsor of the No. 8 Chevrolet,” said Mike Verlander, president of RCR.
In addition to the company’s partnership with RCR, Lucas Oil also served as the Official Oil for Kyle Busch and Brexton Busch’s micro and sprint car organization.
The Cook Out 400 will take place Sunday, March 30 at Martinsville Speedway. Coverage of the event will take place at 3:30 PM ET on FS1, MRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
