Richard Childress Racing (RCR) has unveiled a new multi-year sponsorship partnership with Marine Toys for Tots, marking a significant collaboration between the six-time NASCAR Cup Series championship-winning team and the esteemed charitable program.
The partnership will see Marine Toys for Tots serve as a primary sponsor for Austin Dillon’s No. 3 car in select NASCAR races, providing a platform to promote the charitable organization’s mission to support disadvantaged children during the holiday season and beyond.
