Dale Jr.’s 21 races with Nationwide primary sponsorship announced

Nationwide Insurance has stepped up to be the main primary sponsor for Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s No. 88 Chevrolet at Hendrick Motorsports in 2015. Other sponsors such as AMP/Diet Mtn Dew and Kelley Blue Book are still involved, but for fewer races.

Nationwide, which was first announced in May 2014 as only a 12-race primary sponsor plan, upped its commitment to 21 races in September.

That 21-race schedule has now been revealed, starting with the Daytona 500 later this month.

The rest of the schedule after Daytona includes: Las Vegas, Phoenix (March), Auto Club Speedway, Texas (April), Richmond (April), Talladega (May), Kansas (May), Charlotte (May), Dover (May), Pocono (June), Daytona (July), Kentucky (July), New Hampshire (July), Indianapolis, Watkins Glen, Bristol (August), Dover (October), Martinsville (November), Phoenix (November) and Homestead, per a team release.
