MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Continuing one of the longest-standing sponsorships in all of motorsports, Molson Coors and Team Penske will team up to feature the Keystone Light brand on the No. 2 Ford Mustang in the NASCAR Cup Series.
Rookie-of-the-Year contender Austin Cindric will race the Keystone Light Mustang in May at the NASCAR All-Star Race at Texas Motor Speedway.
“Our 35-year legacy partnership with Team Penske – a constant in motorsports for nearly four decades – has seen an all-star lineup of Molson Coors brands and Penske drivers teaming up to race for championships,” says Adam Dettman, head of partnerships at Molson Coors. “Now, Austin Cindric is jumping behind the wheel of the iconic No. 2 car for Keystone Light’s second year as the featured brand. We look forward to raising a cold Keystone Light in victory lane with Austin and his Penske teammates in 2022.”
Molson Coors first partnered with Team Penske in the 1980s, racing in the IndyCar Series as driver Danny Sullivan won multiple races while representing the Miller brand. In 1991, Miller became the sponsor of the No. 2 Cup Series car driven by NASCAR Hall of Famer Rusty Wallace. The No. 2 team has proudly carried Molson Coors brands for more than 30 years. The tradition will continue with Cindric driving the Keystone Light Ford Mustang.
“Becoming the driver of the iconic No. 2 in the Cup Series has helped me develop an even deeper appreciation for the rich history of the car and the team,” said Cindric. “Building on the partnership with Keystone Light and Molson Coors adds another chapter to that history. The No. 2 has evolved over the years. First it was Midnight, then the Blue Deuce – so I’m excited to add to the tradition and ‘Grab a Stone’ with Keystone Light and our team in 2022.”
