Biffle joined Connor and more than 500 Sherwin-Williams ‘team members’ to take another ‘victory lap’ with the Kansas race trophy, reflect on the win and unveil the No. 16 car’s new paint scheme for this year’s event. The race will now be called the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Hollywood Casino 400 (fourth race in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup), and be held in Kansas City on Oct. 9, 2011.
“This was a special opportunity to work with one of our valued suppliers, 3M, and together experience the thrill of victory lane,” said Connor. “It was incredible to see Greg Biffle cross the finish line first on national television in the Sherwin-Williams/3M Roush Fenway Racing Ford Fusion.”
“For years, some of the biggest names in racing have trusted their race car finishes to Sherwin-Williams. In fact, more than a dozen NASCAR teams currently use Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes, more than any other paint supplier,” said Bobby Moody, director of motorsports for Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes. “We want all of our teams to know that for us it always is, and will be, about the finish. We aim to help teams cross the finish line and ensure that their cars and their sponsors always look good circling the track.” The victory also represents the first time a car painted in AWX® Waterborne Basecoat from Sherwin-Williams, won in NASCAR.
“We had an incredible race in Kansas City, and I was excited take the Sherwin-Williams/3M car to victory lane – and we’re really looking forward to doing it again,” added Greg Biffle, who has sported Sherwin-Williams coatings on his cars for many years. In fact, he and the 30+ other drivers who now feature Sherwin-Williams finishes have more than 200 NASCAR Sprint Cup victories between them and make up a virtual ‘who’s who’ of motorsports’ finest finishers.
