Jack Daniel’s leaves Nissan Motorsport

By

Nissan Motorsport naming rights partner Jack Daniel’s will conclude its cooperation with the team at the end of the 2015 V8 Supercars season.

“Over our 10 year association we have continued to build our ‘Pace Yourself. Drink Responsibility’ messaging and have been thrilled by the opportunity to connect with supporters across the Country via such an iconic sport. While we are stepping down as a naming rights sponsor we look forward to exploring new opportunities with Nissan Motorsport in the future,” said Michael McShane, Senior Vice President, Managing Director, ANZSEA at Brown-Forman.

The brand has been part of the V8 Supercars since 2006, joining Nissan Motorsport in 2013 and backing one car for Rick Kelly this season.

“Jack Daniel’s were our foundation partner of the Team when we launched and their support has been absolutely amazing. Todd and I are hugely grateful for this unwavering commitment over the last seven years and we would not be here today without them,” said Rick Kelly.

Nissan Motorsport will run four cars next year for Todd Kelly, Rick Kelly, Michael Caruso and newly signed Dale Wood.
