Roush Fenway Racing announced this morning that Castrol will serve as primary sponsor for the No. 6 Ford of Ryan Newman for select races in 2020.
“We are really excited to have Castrol on board as our official oil partner,” said NASCAR Hall of Famer and team co-owner Jack Roush.
“Castrol has been a leader in engine lubrication for as long as I can recall. They have a history of competing with great success at the highest levels of motorsports.
