Go Bowling is set to continue its long-standing relationship with Aric Almirola in 2024, serving as the primary sponsor of the Tampa, Florida-native’s Joe Gibbs Racing entry in NASCAR Xfinity Series events at Phoenix Raceway (March 9) and Watkins Glen International (September 10).
Almirola, who joins Joe Gibbs Racing for a partial schedule in the second-tier series for the upcoming season, will launch the partnership Saturday at the one-mile Phoenix Raceway, driving the No. 19 GoBowling.com Toyota GR Supra for Joe Gibbs Racing.

Almirola’s relationship with GoBowling dates back nearly a decade, to 2013 when the company also became the entitlement sponsor of the annual NASCAR Cup Series event at Pocono Raceway. Since then, the 39-year-old driver has run a GoBowling entry between multiple teams, most recently Stewart-Haas Racing.
“I’m excited to have Go Bowling on our car for these two races,” said Almirola. “It has been a great partnership and I look forward to having great success with the Go Bowling team both on and off the racetrack this year.”
GoBowling has installed a pair of professionally certified bowling lanes inside “The Barn” at Phoenix Raceway where the PBA All-Star Weekend competitions will be staged. On Friday (March 8), Almirola will join Kyle Troup to defend their championship at the Go Bowling PBA / NASCAR Invitational event at Phoenix Raceway.
