Chase Elliott and the UniFirst No. 9 Chevrolet to Make Final 2021 NASCAR Appearance on August 28

UniFirst Corporation (NYSE:UNF), a North American leader in the supply and servicing of uniforms, workwear, and facility service products for business, is once again serving as the primary sponsor of the No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports team for designated races during the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season. UniFirst and Hendrick Motorsports introduced a revamped design for the No. 9 UniFirst Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE for the current campaign, with the refreshed Chevy showcasing the company’s signature green color, eye-catching black and white contrasts, and NASCAR-inspired design cues.

The UniFirst Chevrolet made its season debut on March 14 at Phoenix Raceway, with Elliott rallying to finish fifth, and returned with its second appearance of the 2021 campaign in May at Kansas Speedway, with the champion earning another fifth-place finish.

Following his championship-winning campaign in 2020, Elliott has carried his success into the 2021 season. Through 25 races, NASCAR’s “Most Popular Driver” is currently fifth in the standings, having collected 820 points, and sitting just 184 markers behind point leader and fellow Hendrick Motorsports driver, Kyle Larson. Daytona’s 400-mile event on August 28 will close out NASCAR’s 2021 regular season, providing Elliott with a final chance to move up the standings before the playoffs begin in September.

“The entire UniFirst family is excited to be partnered with Chase and 13-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Hendrick Motorsports for this important regular season-ending race,” said Adam Soreff, director of marketing and communications for UniFirst. “Chase has had a solid season in 2021, including 11 top-five finishes, and we’re hoping for even bigger things in the playoffs.”

“We’re really looking forward to having UniFirst back on track this weekend,” said Elliott. “The No. 9 team is going to do our best to stay out of trouble and get those green and white colors out front at Daytona. I hope we can put on a good show for all the fans and everyone at UniFirst.”

The 2021 NASCAR season is the fifth year of UniFirst’s multi-year partnership with Hendrick Motorsports, and the company’s second year sponsoring Elliott and the No. 9 team. UniFirst also continues to be the Official Workwear Provider of Hendrick Motorsports, supplying work clothing and uniforms to the team, as well as to its sister company, the Hendrick Automotive Group.
