Stewart Adds Burger King
Tony Stewart is adding another sponsor to his roster for next season.
Burger King has signed a two-race Sprint Cup Series deal to serve as primary sponsor of the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet. The deal, which is valued at $2.8 million, also includes sponsorship of Stewart's Eldora Speedway dirt track in New Weston, Ohio.
The fast food chain will serve as primary sponsor for the second races at Daytona International Speedway (July 4) and Dover International Speedway (Sept. 27).
"I've been using my team card a lot," Stewart joked at the announcement. "So I'm not starving by any means."
Stewart's primary sponsorship of his No. 14 Sprint Cup entry will be split by Office Depot and Old Spice.
