Ullico is set to continue its relationship with Tyler Ankrum and McAnally-Hilgemann Racing in 2025, the organization confirmed on Friday.
The company, which provides financial security for unions and their members, will adorn the No. 18 Chevrolet Silverado RST in a pair of NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series events this season, beginning next weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway (April 11).
As they did last season, Ullico will also serve as a primary sponsor of Ankrum and McAnally-Hilgemann Racing at Nashville Superspeedway (May 30).
“It’s really great to have Ullico back on board for the third year in-a-row with us,” says Ankrum, driver of the No. 18 Ullico Chevrolet Silverado RST. “I am super proud to represent them not just at Bristol next weekend, but at Nashville as well. It has been an absolute pleasure working with them, and I look forward to continuing this partnership, hopefully for many years to come. We have had a stout year so fa,r and I know we can continue these top-five finishes and be in contention to get Ullico to Victory Lane.”
This season will mark the third year that Ullico has partnered with the San Bernadino, California-native in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, debuting with Ankrum at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in 2023, with a top-10 result.
Headquartered in Washington, DC, Ullico is a long-standing partner of the Laborers International Union of North America (LIUNA), a long-time sponsor of Ankrum’s efforts in the NASCAR Truck Series.
“We are thrilled to partner with Tyler Ankrum and the number 18 truck,” said Brian Hale, Ullico President and CEO. “As the only labor-owned insurance and investment company, Ullico has been a champion of the American worker since 1927. As a LIUNA member, Tyler represents our nation’s working people every race day, and we are honored to be a part of his team. On behalf of everyone at Ullico, we wish him continued success for the 2025 season.”
Ankrum, in his second season as a driver for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, is off a fantastic start, recording three top-five and four top-10 finishes, while sitting sixth-place in series point standings.
The 24-year-old driver is looking to end a long winless drought in the NASCAR Truck Series, having captured his sole victory in the series at Kentucky Speedway in 2019, nearly six years ago.
Ullico will hit the racetrack for the first time in 2025 on Friday, April 11 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Coverage of the event will be at 7:30 PM ET on FOX Sports 1, the NASCAR Racing Network, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
