CONCORD, N.C. – Acronis, a global leader in cyber backup protection, has extended its relationship with Hendrick Motorsports through 2025.
With the renewal, Acronis will join title contender William Byron as a primary sponsor in two races this season and continue as a major associate sponsor of Hendrick Motorsports with branding across the organization’s four-car stable.
The No. 24 Acronis Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 will appear in Sunday’s road-course event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Sept. 17 playoff race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
“Recommitting to this partnership is a no-brainer for everyone involved, and we are proud that it will help underscore our important work with Climb,” said Pat Hurley, Acronis’ vice president and general manager, Americas. “Hendrick Motorsports understands the risks associated with managing large amounts of data, and with our arsenal of #CyberFit-ready services, Acronis is proud to give them that peace of mind, keeping them secure and protected so the team can keep its focus on the track – where it belongs.”
Through 21 races this season, Byron is projected as the fourth seed in the Cup playoffs and ranks second in the series in laps led. With two victories in 2022, the Charlotte, N.C. native has clinched his fourth consecutive playoff berth.
“It means a lot that Acronis sees so much value in our program,” Byron said. “I’m excited about getting on the racetrack with their paint scheme this weekend at Indy and in the playoffs at Bristol. Our No. 24 team is working hard to carry momentum into the fall and contend for a championship. We’re proud to have Acronis on board as we keep pushing toward that goal.”
