UniFirst is a proud partner of Chase Elliott and Hendrick Motorsports

UniFirst is a primary sponsor of NASCAR’s four-time Most Popular Driver and 2020 Cup Series champion Chase Elliott^© and the Hendrick Motorsports^© No. 9 race team. UniFirst is also the official workwear provider for Hendrick Motorsports and sister company Hendrick Automotive Group, the largest privately held automotive retail organization in the United States.

The 2022 NASCAR season marks the sixth year of UniFirst's multi-year partnership with Hendrick Motorsports, and it’s the third year that the company will serve as a sponsor of Elliott and the No. 9 team. During the first two years with Chase, he piloted the UniFirst Chevy to five top-10 results and three top-five finishes, including a high-profile win (and a $1 million grand prize) at the midseason All-Star race in 2020. Chase capped off that season winning NASCAR’s Cup Series Championship, and he returned to the Championship 4 during the 2021 campaign. Chase also finished each of the past four seasons as NASCAR’s Most Popular Driver (as voted by NASCAR fans).

The No. 9 UniFirst Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE will be hitting the pavement for two more NASCAR races during the 2022 season. The No. 9 UniFirst Chevy made its 2022 debut on March 13 at Phoenix Raceway. Chase led for 50 laps and finished second during the second stage of the race, leading to an 11th-place finish overall.

The new No. 9 UniFirst Chevy paint scheme will prominently feature the company’s distinctive signature green color and racing-inspired black and white contrasts. Refreshing and dynamic, the vibrant custom green designs are showcased throughout the exterior of the car. Elliott and the entire No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports race team will also sport fire suits that complement the new UniFirst car design and feature the company’s corporate color and logo.

In 2022, the newly designed “Next Gen” race cars have made their way onto the track for all NASCAR Cup Series teams. The UniFirst No. 9 has been upgraded to the new Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 design, which includes a number of visual and technological improvements. Aesthetically, the car features stylish new 18-inch aluminum wheels, a new aerodynamic hood, and a redesigned side skirt. Under the surface, NASCAR’s Next Gen car offers a new steel chassis, a reworked sequential transmission, a revised independent rear suspension, and an innovative refueling system. All together, they are the most noteworthy updates to NASCAR’s car designs in more than a decade.
