STATESVILLE, N.C. – Petty GMS Motorsports has added Ferris Mowers, a leading commercial and industrial turf care equipment provider, as a sponsor during the NASCAR Cup Series season.
Ferris, a brand of Briggs & Stratton, will serve as the primary partner of Ty Dillon and the No. 42 Chevrolet for three races: All-Star Open at Texas Motor Speedway (May 22), Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course (July 31), and Michigan International Speedway (August 7).
The brand will also be a full season associate partner on Dillon’s Camaro ZL1. In addition, Ferris will be featured as an associate partner for six races on the No. 43 Chevrolet driven by Erik Jones.
“I’m excited to have Ferris join Petty GMS and be on our No. 42 Chevrolet for the remainder of the season,” said Dillon. “Carrying their colors during the three primary races is going to be cool. Ferris sets themselves apart by helping professional landscapers work hard and feel good, which I appreciate. I look forward to getting behind the wheel of the Ferris Chevrolet at Texas in a couple weeks.”
Vanguard, a fellow Briggs & Stratton brand, will be highlighted on the No. 42 machine during Ferris’ primary events.
“NASCAR and Petty GMS provide a great platform for us to reach our customer base,” said Christin Wam, senior director of marketing at Briggs & Stratton. “The longevity, culture, and tradition align with what Ferris, Vanguard, and our dealers stand for. We are excited to have the No. 42 car, driven by Ty Dillon, sporting the Ferris badge at the All-Star Race, Indianapolis, and Michigan races this season.”
