NASCAR Sponsorship

In 2005, FedEx took on big-time sponsorship, becoming a 200mph billboard on the #11 car for 3-time championship winning team Joe Gibbs Racing. Jason Laffler piloted the car through the first 19 races, but a lack of good finshes and many crashes put him out of a ride. This year, the car sports a new look with rookie driver Denny Hamlin, who has 2 wins and 11 top tens so far this year, with his two wins both coming at Pocono Raceway.
