WELCOME, N.C. (January 16, 2019) – Richard Childress Racing (RCR) has renewed its partnership with Alsco, the premier linen and uniform rental business, into the 2019 NASCAR season. Alsco will serve as an associate partner for the full year on both No. 8 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, piloted by Daniel Hemric in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, and the No. 2 Chevrolet Camaro, driven by Tyler Reddick in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
In addition to an associate partnership, Alsco will serve as the co-primary partner on Hemric’s Camaro ZL1 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, in conjunction with Alsco’s and RCR’s shared relationship with uniform supplier VF Workwear.

“When you look at Richard Childress and his organization, it’s an easy decision to partner with a NASCAR icon who shares the same business philosophies as Alsco does,” said Jim Divers, Alsco Director of Sales and Marketing. “The value proposition of being a part of RCR is unparalleled.

We look forward to having that same relationship and shared success with Tyler in 2019 and beyond.”
2019 will mark the third year of the partnership between RCR and Alsco, the official uniform service company of the race team. Alsco’s uniform and linen services are valuable to the everyday operations of the championship winning organization.

With RCR and Alsco being family-owned and operated businesses with shared values, it is easy to see how the relationship has grown into what it is today. We look forward to continuing to work together in the future.”
