Bobby Earnhardt, the eldest grandson of seven-time NASCAR Champion and Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Sr. confirmed earlier this month that he will be running the final four races of the 2019 NASCAR Xfinity Series season in the No. 66 Toyota for MBM Motorsports.
Earnhardt will run the events at Kansas Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway, ISM Raceway (Phoenix) and the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
I’m excited to confirm I’ll be running the last four races this season for MBM Motorsports in the #66 Toyota Camry. I’ll be announcing the primary sponsor in my upcoming post & official press release. So stay tuned! #letsgethealthy @MBMMotorsports #NASCARXfinitySeries pic.twitter.com/UzikJwCEor

Hyatt Life Sciences was officially announced on Tuesday as the primary sponsor for Bobby Earnhardt’s No. 66 Toyota for the remaining four events of the season.
“I’m very excited to break this news,” Earnhardt said in a press release. “Hyatt Life Sciences is jumping on board and they are such an amazing company and their products are really impressive! I’m proud to have such an innovative group partnering with me.”
The company which is located in Sterling, Kansas searches for unique botanical entities and combinations that have been used for hundreds of years in other countries through out the world. Scientists at Hyatt Life Sciences research, test and evaluate each root and herb to further find the reasoning for the ingredients benefit.
Before the news broke on Tuesday about Hyatt Life Sciences, Earnhardt credited his 2019 opportunities to hard work and other sponsors such as CIA and HABCO helping him as well.
“CIA, Copeland Insurance, and HABCO, Inc. are a couple of my great sponsors and friends that are making it possible for me to run these last four races – it’s tough out there – finding sponsorship,” Earnhardt said. “With CIA and HABCO on board, we’re able to race Kansas, Texas, Phoenix Raceway, and finish off the season at Homestead.”
Excited to announce Copeland Insurance Agency has come on board as a sponsor for the upcoming races at Kansas & Texas in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
Stay tuned because we have another huge announcement to make in the next few days. “Let’s Get Healthy” 😉 #NASCAR @MBMMotorsports pic.twitter.com/23ZxzllQzP

Earnhardt ran three races in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards in 2017 with a best finish of 19th coming at Elko Speedway. In addition, Earnhardt made his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut that same year at Richmond Raceway, running two races in the No. 40 Chevrolet for MBM Motorsports with a best finish of 31st at Kansas Speedway.
The 32-year old went on to run two races last season for MBM Motorsports as well in the No. 66 Toyota, but due to a fuel pump issue at Kansas and a crash at Texas Motor Speedway he was left with results of 27th and 34th in those events.
The ultimate goal is for Earnhardt to be competitive, race hard and return to the NASCAR Xfinity Series full-time for the 2020 season.
“As an Earnhardt, I was raised to work hard for what I want to do. Get in there and work – that’s the way my grandfather and great grandfather did things and they passed that attitude along.”
