Yum Brands Inc. will continue sponsoring the Kentucky Derby through 2015 under an agreement with Churchill Downs.
Terms of the deal announced Thursday were not released. The Louisville-based parent company of KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Long John Silver's has sponsored the Derby since 2006.
Churchill Downs said in a statement that the sponsorship agreement will not change the Derby's $2 million purse. The agreement continues to add a portion of the sponsorship's revenues to race purses during the track's spring and fall meets.
