DENVER, Colo. (Aug. 5, 2015) — Furniture Row Racing has entered into a four-race agreement to carry the DraftKings logo as an associate sponsor on Martin Truex Jr.'s No. 78 Chevrolet.
DraftKings is the "Official Daily Fantasy Sports Partner" of NASCAR. The company has an exclusive license to develop NASCAR-branded games across the daily fantasy sports category.
