Joe Gibbs Racing announced today that DeWalt and Stanley Tools would be joining the team as primary sponsors for the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup season, reuniting driver Matt Kenseth with long-time sponsor DeWalt and adding Stanley sponsorship to the no. 19 Toyota of the newest JGR addition, Carl Edwards.

DeWalt Tools will be the primary sponsor of Kenseth's no. 20 Toyota in six races, with Stanley Tools as primary sponsor for Edwards for 12 races. Stanley will also serve as an associate sponsors on all Joe Gibbs Racing cars.

"We are thrilled to announce a new partnership for Joe Gibbs Racing with both Stanley and DeWalt," said team owner Joe Gibbs. "They have a great history in our sport. We've had a partnership with Mac Tools that dates back to our first days here at JGR. It's an honor that they chose to come on board and support both Carl and Matt."

Kenseth and DeWalt tools have shared a long history together, with DeWalt serving as Kenseth's primary sponsor during his rookie year in Sprint Cup back in 2000 and was on board for Kenseth's first championship in 2003. DeWalt spent the last four seasons with Richard Petty Motorsports as a primary sponsor for Marcos Ambrose.

"It is a special feeling to have the opportunity to partner with DeWalt again," said Kenseth. "I have so many tremendous memories with them, and I'm looking forward to representing their brand again and creating new memories."

With the addition of ARRIS coming on board with Edwards and extensions in place with sponsors Dollar General and M&M Mars, JGR will enter the 2015 with nearly full sponsorship on all four of their Sprint Cup entries.
