Cincinnati Incorporated to Sponsor William Byron and No. 24 Team for Two Key Races in 2026
HARRISON, OH (Dec. 12, 2025) – Hendrick Motorsports and Cincinnati Incorporated announced today an expansion of their long-standing partnership, with the Ohio-based machine tool manufacturer set to serve as a primary sponsor of the No. 24 Chevrolet for two races in the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season.
Driven by 2024 DAYTONA 500 champion William Byron, the No. 24 Cincinnati Incorporated Chevrolet will debut a striking new themed design on March 29 at Martinsville Speedway. The patriotic and precision-inspired livery will return to the track under the lights on August 15 at Richmond Raceway.
This announcement marks the latest chapter in a 10-year agreement signed in 2019, which named Cincinnati Incorporated the "Official Metal Fabrication Equipment Provider" of Hendrick Motorsports.
"We are incredibly proud to continue our relationship with Hendrick Motorsports, an organization that shares our unyielding commitment to performance and American craftsmanship," said Alan Oak, President and CEO of Cincinnati Incorporated. "Seeing the Cincinnati brand on the No. 24 car is a point of pride for our employees and customers alike. William is a championship-caliber driver, and we can’t wait to see him chasing victories at Martinsville and Richmond in the new Cincinnati scheme."
Byron, a standout talent with multiple Cup Series victories, expressed his excitement about the returning partnership.
"It’s awesome to have Cincinnati back on board for 2026," Byron said. "They’ve been a huge part of our team’s technical success behind the scenes for years. The new paint scheme looks incredible, and I can’t wait to put it out front at Martinsville and Richmond."
