NOS Energy Drink to sponsor Joe Gibbs Racing’s Kyle Busch

NOS Energy Drink and Joe Gibbs Racing have announced the company's plans to sponsor the team's No. 18 Toyota and driver Kyle Busch in 14 NASCAR Nationwide Series races.

The company's first race as primary sponsor will be the April 4 event at Texas Motor Speedway.

“Expanding the relationship with NOS Energy Drink into 2009 is going to give us the extra horsepower to top our performance from last year," said Busch, who won 10 Nationwide events in 2008. “Over the last year, they’ve been a big supporter of mine, and now NOS is taking it to the next level with the No. 18 team."

Financial terms of the contract were not disclosed.
