Boyd takes P5 in first race of the craftsman truck series
It’s the first race of the year and it’s the biggest weekend in motorsports. And that’s just the normal part!
The main sponsor for the team at this race, Tibbetts Lumber, is one of the largest independently-owned lumber and building materials suppliers in the Southeast USA to the professional contractor. CEO and Vice Chairman, Russ Hallenbeck, commented on the partnership, “I’m a life-long fan of NASCAR so this is a very special moment for me personally. Professionally, it puts Tibbetts Lumber out there like we have never done before. It is our first ever sponsorship in racing and Spencer couldn’t be a better representative for our brand. The type of work the yeoman does is exactly what our customers do, so the synergy is perfect.”
Kyle Hooker, Executive Chairman of Tibbetts Lumber, said, “Spencer and Freedom Racing stand for everything Tibbetts Lumber stands for, and we are honored to be a part of such a historic team and race!”
Headquartered in the Tampa Bay area since 1949 with 11 locations throughout Florida, Tibbetts designs and manufactures wood roof and floor trusses, lumber and building materials, custom interior and exterior doors, millwork, siding, windows, and offers installation services.
The new team brings back the familiar number 76 for Boyd and a bright orange paint scheme that won’t be missed on the high banks of Daytona.
Boyd continued about the relationship with Tibbetts, “This partnership is a long time in the making—almost a year. I’m elated that they chose me to drive their truck, and I know it means a lot to the company’s family and employees. Kyle and Russ invited me to the Tibbetts Lumber Christmas party, and I was humbled by the hard work everyone there did to make their company successful. I’m honored to be in the same circle as these great business people.”
The Freedom Racing Enterprises debut with first-time sponsor Tibbetts Lumber will be on February 16, 2024, at the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Race, the Fresh From Florida 250, at Daytona International Speedway.
