In addition to the primary races, the hard ice tea brewing company will be a season-long associate sponsor on the No. 9.
“It’s my first race driving for Richard Petty, it’s the Daytona 500 and I’ll once again have an opportunity to join heroes of motorsports if we win,” Hornish said in a team release. “It’s an amazing opportunity, and I can’t wait to do it with Twisted Tea, who will also support us throughout 2015.”
The winner of the Indianapolis 500 in 2006, Hornish Jr. is looking to join A.J. Foyt and Mario Andretti as the only two drivers to have won the Indianapolis 500 and the Daytona 500.
In addition to the Twisted Tea sponsorship, RPM also announced that R-M Automotive Finishes, a brand of BASF, will continue its partnership with the racing team, providing the cars’ colors, including the familiar Petty Blue.
