AJ Allmendinger Returns with Black’s Tire Sponsorship for Richmond and Darlington NASCAR Races

AJ Allmendinger will once again compete under the banner of Black’s Tire Service, driving the No. 16 Chevrolet in upcoming NASCAR Cup Series races at Richmond Raceway and Darlington Raceway. These events, the Cook Out 400 on August 16 and the Cook Out Southern 400 on August 31, mark the continuation of Allmendinger’s partnership with Black’s Tire Service, highlighting the significance of the AJ Allmendinger Black’s Tire Sponsorship in his racing campaign.

Details of the Black’s Tire Service Partnership

Black’s Tire Service (BTS) is a family-operated tire retailer with more than 70 locations across North and South Carolina. Earlier in the year, BTS teamed up with Kaulig Racing and driver Christian Eckes in the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Darlington Raceway and Rockingham Speedway, while also supporting AJ Allmendinger in the NASCAR Cup Series at Martinsville Speedway. This ongoing relationship reinforces BTS’s commitment to NASCAR and their regional presence.

For the upcoming races, the No. 16 Black’s Tire Chevrolet will prominently feature the Boys and Girls Homes of North Carolina logo on the vehicle’s deck lid. This addition reflects BTS’s dedication to supporting families and communities, as they use their platform in racing to raise awareness for the non-profit organization.

Community Outreach and Charity Initiatives

Black’s Tire Service is actively promoting the Boys and Girls Homes of North Carolina through their NASCAR partnership and by organizing the BTS Boys and Girls Homes of North Carolina Charity Golf Tournament. The event is scheduled for September 18, 2025, at the Myrtle Beach National Golf Course, aiming to garner donations to benefit families in need across the region. Interested participants and donors can find more detail and registration on the Black’s Tire Service charity webpage.

Broadcast Information for Upcoming Races

Fans can watch or listen to the Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway on August 16 and the Cook Out Southern 400 at Darlington Raceway on August 31 through TV coverage on USA and radio coverage on MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Channel 90. These broadcasts will bring full race coverage, featuring AJ Allmendinger’s return in the distinctive Black’s Tire Chevrolet.

Significance of the Sponsorship Ahead

AJ Allmendinger’s continued partnership with Black’s Tire Service not only strengthens his presence in the NASCAR Cup Series but also highlights the importance of community involvement within motorsports. By integrating local charitable efforts such as the Boys and Girls Homes of North Carolina, the sponsorship goes beyond racing, emphasizing family support and regional engagement. This approach is expected to resonate positively with fans and communities across North and South Carolina.
