Zep Joins Joe Gibbs Racing for 2026 With Two Primary Races and a Season-Long Associate Deal

The move redirects the brand from Noah Gragson’s recent program to a powerhouse operation to expand reach.

Overview

  • Zep will be the primary sponsor on Ty Gibbs’ No. 54 Toyota at Kansas Speedway on April 19, 2026.
  • Chase Briscoe will carry Zep as the primary sponsor on the No. 19 Toyota at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on August 23, 2026.
  • Zep also signed on as an associate sponsor for Gibbs, Briscoe, and Christopher Bell across the 2026 season.
  • Zep’s executive Greg Heyer described the JGR alliance as a fit for the company’s growth goals focused on brand awareness and product adoption.
  • The shift follows Zep’s 2025 appearances with Noah Gragson, and reports indicate Gragson and Front Row Motorsports may now seek replacement funding before the season begins.
