While a familiar partner for his Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) team, current NASCAR XFINITY Series point’s leader Daniel Suarez will represent a new sponsor in Saturday’s XFINITY 300 at Auto Club (Calif.) Speedway.

Interstate Batteries, who first established its sponsorship with JGR prior to the 1992 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season will back the Monterrey, Mexico driver in the first of two XFINITY Series races this season, CATCHFENCE.com has confirmed.

The Dallas-based company also sponsors reigning Sprint Cup champion Kyle Busch in select Cup races. They also backed Suarez’s XFINITY teammate Erik Jones two weeks ago at Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway. Other accolades during their 25-year partnership include the 1993 Daytona 500 victory by Dale Jarrett, the 2000 Sprint Cup championship with driver Bobby Labonte and multiple wins by Busch.

When NASCAR returned to the NBC Sports Group this past season, it wasn’t too much of a hassle to fill the spots needed to analyze and call Sprint Cup Series races.
