Briefly: Garner primary sponsor for Justin Haley’s car in 2 NASCAR races

Garner Trucking, the official transportation partner of Spire Motorsports since 2023, will serve as Justin Haley’s primary sponsor in back-to-back NASCAR Cup Series races beginning with Sunday’s Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway.

The Garner Trucking livery will return to the primary position aboard Haley’s No. 7 Chevrolet ZL1 the following weekend for the FireKeepers 400 at Michigan International Speedway.

Garner Trucking is celebrating its 65th anniversary in 2025 and provides Spire Motorsports with the semi tractors the team utilizes to transport its equipment across the country. 

“The Garner/Spire collaboration has been a highlight of our 65 years in business,” said Sherri Garner Brumbaugh, president, CEO and owner of Garner Trucking, Inc. “Vern Garner, our founder, was a huge NASCAR fan. My dad would have enjoyed the thrill of sending our truck drivers as VIP’s to the races and seeing Garner on a premiere NASCAR Cup Series car.”
