TRICON Garage is set to join forces once again with long-time sponsor Black’s Tire for NASCAR’s return to the iconic Rockingham Speedway on Easter Weekend, the organization announced on Tuesday.
Black’s Tire and BTS Tire & Wheel Distributors will adorn the No. 15 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, driven by Tanner Gray, in the Friday, April 18 event at the 1.017-mile racetrack engrained into NASCAR’s history.
“On behalf of the over 1,000 team members at Black’s Tire & Auto Service and BTS Tire & Wheel Distributors, we are honored to continue our relationship with TRICON,” said Ricky Benton II, Vice President of Sales & Marketing with Black’s Tire. “We have a great relationship with Johnny, David and the entire TRICON team and we are excited to see what we can do together in our special event.”
Black’s Tire, which celebrated its 95th anniversary in 2024, has more than 70 locations spanning both North and South Carolina and to this day remains a local, family-owned and operated tire seller and wholesaler.
With several of those locations in the backyard of Rockingham, North Carolina, BTS is partnering with Rockingham Speedway to celebrate NASCAR’s first return in more than a decade.
The company will serve as the title partner for Friday’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event and a presenting partner for Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series event, taking place on April 18 and 19.
The premier tire dealer most recently partnered with Gray, 25, for three NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series events in 2023, accomplishing a best finish of third-place at Darlington Raceway.
National Finance Company (NFC), a family-owned and operated company founded in Rockingham by Bobby Hall, will join BTS as a sponsor on the No. 15 TRICON Garage entry.
“It is always great to have Black’s Tire on one of our Toyota Tundra TRD Pros,” said David Gilliland, partner, TRICON Garage. “Ricky and the Benton family have supported us and Tanner a number of times now, so we are excited to represent them in their race and try to give them another great run.”
After the opening five events of the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series campaign, Gray currently sits 12th in series point standings on the strength of one top-five and one top-10 finish — which came at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
The Black’s Tire 200 from Rockingham will take place on Friday, April 18 at 5:00 PM ET with coverage on FOX Sports 1, NASCAR Radio Network, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
