Oscar Mayer has extended its sponsorship of the No. 6 Ford Mustang for Roush Fenway Racing driven by Ryan Newman through the 2021 NASCAR season.
The extension was announced on Wednesday with Oscar Mayer returning as a primary sponsor on the No. 6 Ford for multiple races for the 2020 and 2021 seasons which will begin with the TicketGuardian 500 at ISM Raceway in Phoenix in March.
“After a strong 2019 season, we at Oscar Mayer couldn’t be prouder to continue our season-long sponsorship of driver Ryan Newman and Roush Fenway Racing,” said Matt Riezman, associate director for Oscar Mayer in a team press release.
“Through our sponsorship, we’re able to connect with fans in a whole new way from our paint schemes to pre-race celebrations. We look forward to supporting the sport and No. 6 over the next two seasons and feeding people’s love of meat, both on and off the track.”
To celebrate the extension, Oscar Mayer is giving fans the opportunity to design a 2020 paint scheme for the No. 6 Oscar Mayer Ford Mustang driven by Newman.
The contest starts today and fans can head to any of Oscar Mayer’s social media channels which consist of Facebook, Twitter or Instagram to download the car template and put their creative ideas to the test.

The winning design will race on Newman’s No. 6 at Phoenix in March and fans are encouraged to keep an eye on Oscar Mayer’s social media platforms on how to submit their designs and when the window to submit design ideas will close.
“We’re obviously excited to continue our relationship with such a great brand in Oscar Mayer and the Kraft-Heinz Company,” said Newman in a press release. “The Oscar Mayer team and everyone at Roush Fenway has done a great job on collaborating on various innovative ideas throughout this season, and we’re looking forward to more creative excitement both on and off the track in the future.”
Heading into this Sunday’s AAA 500 from Texas Motor Speedway, Newman has earned three top-five’s, and 13 top-10 finishes in 33 starts.
