HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. (July 11, 2023) – Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) announced today that Mavis Tires & Brakes will serve as the primary sponsor for Denny Hamlin and the No. 11 team for five upcoming NASCAR Cup Series races beginning this Sunday, July 16, at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Mavis, based in Millwood, N.Y., is the largest independent tire and service provider in the United States with more than 850 service centers in 22 states. Mavis recently acquired TBC Corporation’s NTB Service Centers and Tire Kingdom Service Centers, which yields more than 2,000 service centers under the brand umbrella in total.
“It is an incredible honor to team up with NASCAR, the largest spectator sport in America, and Joe Gibbs Racing with Denny Hamlin,” said David Sorbaro, Mavis co-CEO. “This union is a perfect fit – as the largest independent tire and vehicle service in the U.S., we are thrilled at the possibilities our partnership can bring.”
“Mavis was founded on value, excellent customer service and family,” said Stephen Sorbaro, Mavis co-CEO. “This is an exciting partnership that complements our dedication to the automotive industry and our connection to communities and neighborhoods around the country. We look forward to a great season with our customers and the Mavis family cheering on No. 11 for a win.”
In addition to Sunday’s race in Loudon, N.H., Hamlin’s No. 11 Toyota Camry TRD will also carry the Mavis colors at Pocono Raceway (July 23), Richmond Raceway (July 30), Michigan International Speedway (August 6), and Watkins Glen International (August 20).
