Garner Trucking will extend its partnership with Spire Motorsports by sponsoring the No. 7 Chevrolet in two crucial NASCAR Cup Series races during June 2025 at Nashville Superspeedway and Michigan International Speedway. This sponsorship highlights Garner Trucking’s continued commitment to the sport while celebrating the company’s 65th anniversary.
Garner Trucking’s Legacy and Partnership with Spire Motorsports
Founded in 1960 by Vern and Jean Garner, Garner Trucking remains family-owned and operated from its headquarters in Findlay, Ohio. Known for its strong emphasis on safety and punctual deliveries, the company has earned respect across the freight transportation industry. Currently led by second-generation owner Sherri Garner Brumbaugh, Garner Trucking has received accolades from organizations like the Truckload Carriers Association, Women in Trucking, and the Next Generation in Trucking Association.
Garner Trucking first aligned with Spire Motorsports in 2022, sponsoring a NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway with driver Corey LaJoie. The partnership deepened in the next season when Garner was named the Official Transportation Partner of the team, strengthening their ongoing collaboration.
A Milestone Sponsorship Featuring Justin Haley
For the 2025 season, Garner Trucking’s sponsorship of the No. 7 Chevrolet will cover two prominent events: the Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway on June 1 and a race at Michigan International Speedway on June 8. This will mark Justin Haley’s first appearance as the primary driver for the No. 7 car sponsored by Garner.
Haley’s past performances at Nashville Superspeedway include four starts with an average starting position of 21.0 and average finish of 23.5, with his best result being 13th place in the previous year’s race. His experience at the track combined with the team’s steady progress signals strong potential for the upcoming races.
Expressing Pride and Optimism from Garner Trucking and Spire Motorsports
Sherri Garner Brumbaugh shared her enthusiasm for the partnership:
The Garner [and] Spire collaboration has been a highlight of our 65 years in business,
she said.
Vern Garner, our founder, was a huge NASCAR fan. My dad would have enjoyed the thrill of sending our truck drivers as VIP’s to the races and seeing Garner on a premier NASCAR Cup Series car. It is in that spirit the entire Garner team enjoys being a part of Spire Motorsports. Trucks and NASCAR, we go together.
Justin Haley also expressed gratitude and anticipation, stating:
Everyone at Spire Motorsports appreciates the support from Sherri and the entire team at Garner Trucking,
he said.
Our trucks stand tall going up and down the road, and when they pull into the race track for the weekend. We’re looking forward to representing Garner for the next two weekends. I feel like our cars keep getting better, and Nashville and Michigan should be good tracks for us, so I’m definitely looking forward to seeing how we stack up.
Looking Ahead to Nashville and Michigan Races
The Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway will take place on Sunday, June 1, starting at 7:00 PM ET, broadcast on Prime Video with additional coverage from Performance Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90. Following Nashville, the team will head to Michigan International Speedway on June 8 for the next chapter of their 2025 campaign.
This ongoing partnership between Garner Trucking and Spire Motorsports not only celebrates the trucking company’s milestone anniversary but also brings a strong industry presence to two significant NASCAR Cup Series events. With Justin Haley behind the wheel and the combined support of both organizations, the races in Nashville and Michigan will be important opportunities to showcase growth and competitive spirit in the 2025 season.
