Clean Harbors, a longtime partner of Thad Moffitt and the Petty racing family has signed on as a two-race primary sponsorship partner for Moffitt and the No. 46 Faction46 team in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
The company is excited to continue its relationship with Moffitt and the Petty family.
“Clean Harbors and Safety-Kleen have been involved with the Petty family and NASCAR for so long that we’re now family,” said Buddy Judy, Director of Motorsports, Clean Harbors. “The baton has been passed to Thad and he is carrying on the tradition for us. We are proud to continue to support his career and the Petty family legacy.”
The Safety-Kleen yellow will adorn the No. 46 Chevrolet Silverado this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway and August 10 at Richmond Raceway. In addition to the Safety-Kleen brand, which will serve as the primary sponsor for the scheme, Clean Harbors will feature Performance Plus Motor Oil, HPC Industrial, and additional Clean Harbors companies on the No. 46 machine.
Moffitt says that the goal will be to do everything in his power to represent his longtime partners well on track this season.
“I really want to thank Buddy and everyone at Clean Harbors for everything they continue to do for me and now for Faction46,” said Moffitt. “As a new team, we rely on our partners to get better on the track to compete for wins. Clean Harbors, Safety-Kleen and HPC Industrial are important for us to get better. We are working hard to represent them the best we can all season, and especially at Texas and Richmond.”
Lane Moore, Faction46’s team owner, is elated to see another impactful partnership for his upstart race team.
“It’s awesome to see our team continue to attract more partners and watching our partners grow the team,” said owner, Moore. “It is a true partnership and Clean Harbors and Safety-Kleen are staples in NASCAR. They are the leaders in recycling oil and keeping NASCAR a clean, green sport. We are really proud to carry their colors on the truck this year.”
It’s been a rough start to the 2024 campagin for the 23-year-old Moffitt and his race team. After six races, Moffitt ranks 29th in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series point standings, and has a season-best finish of 25th. Moffitt will look to improve that season-best finish this weekend with Safety-Kleen on his hood.
