The Bennett Family of Companies will expand its partnership with Atlanta Motor Speedway in 2025 by becoming entitlement partner for the speedway's spring NASCAR Xfinity Series race.
After joining AMS as an entitlement partner for the qualifying sessions held earlier this weekend, Bennett will have its first NASCAR race entitlement in 2025. The McDonough, Ga., headquartered company will sponsor the Bennett Transportation and Logistics 250 on Saturday, Feb. 22, 2025, in the first year of a multi-year agreement.
"Having a race at Atlanta Motor Speedway with our "name on the grass" has always been a dream of ours," said Lynette Mathis, Vice President of the Bennett Family of Companies. "We have called Henry County, Georgia home for more than 50 years, and our relationship with Atlanta Motor Speedway has grown along with our company. We look forward to sharing the racing experience with our employees, truck drivers, freight agents and customers in an immersive brand experience. On the track, they'll be able to support our No. 21 Xfinity Series Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet driven by Georgia's own Austin Hill. Around the track, they'll see the Bennett Transportation & Logistics 250 as a symbol of our dedication to the industry. We look forward to joining the first winner in Victory Lane."
"Atlanta Motor Speedway and Bennett both proudly call Henry County home and share a passion for motorsports," said AMS Executive Vice President and General Manager Brandon Hutchison. "The commitment between our two companies has only grown as we've collaborated to engage race fans and increase awareness of Bennett's world-class family of companies. We're thrilled Bennett will be the entitlement partner of our spring NASCAR Xfinity Series event and look forward to working with them to deliver a race day experience that is second to none."
Along with next year's race entitlement, Bennett will continue to utilize facility signage and an exclusive hospitality area known as the "Bennett Truck Stop." The Henry County company has used this space overlooking the speedway from the Earnhardt Grandstand to host drivers, partners and employees during race weekends.
The official trucking and logistics partner of AMS will remain a fixture in the speedway's Fan Zone during race weekends, where it engages race fans and conducts driver recruitment efforts.
The first running of the Bennett Transportation and Logistics 250 will be part of Atlanta's same-day NASCAR doubleheader alongside the Fr8 Racing 208 during the 2025 spring NASCAR weekend. Now in its 11th year, Atlanta's fan-favorite doubleheader features more than 450 miles of NASCAR action across two races - all included with a single ticket on Saturday, Feb. 22, 2025.
