The U.S. Army will continue to sponsor drivers in NASCAR and the
NHRA next season.
The Army will be the primary sponsor for Ryan Newman in the
Sprint Cup series and Tony Schumacher in drag racing's Top Fuel
division.
Tony Schumacher has won five consecutive championships for
the U.S. Army and is currently leading the points. Next season will
be the Army's 10th as an NHRA sponsor.
The Army has been in NASCAR since 2003, but this season is
its first with Newman and Stewart-Haas Racing. Newman has two poles
this year and earned a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup
championship.
It is sponsoring Newman for 15 races in 2010.
The Army is only permitted to sign 1-year sponsorship
agreements.
