Okuma and Chip Ganassi Racing Teams Expand Sponsorship



CNC machine tool manufacturer Okuma America Corporation and Chip Ganassi Racing Teams (CGRT) have expanded their partnership agreement to now include the No. 1 Chevrolet SS, driven by Jamie McMurray in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The Concord, NC-based team will utilize Okuma CNC machine tools and technology in its machine shop to produce parts and equipment in support of the team's NASCAR efforts.

Okuma equipment is already used by Ganassi's Verizon INDYCAR Series and TUDOR United SportsCar Championship teams in Indianapolis. "Okuma has had a long and successful partnership with CGRT through INDYCAR, and we feel this is a natural extension of that relationship," said Jim King, Okuma President and COO. "We look forward to helping the team win races."

"Okuma has been a great partner of ours for a number of years, and we are happy to see the partnership continue to grow," said Steve Lauletta, CGRT President. "Having them as a partner on the No. 1 Chevrolet this year is exciting for all of us here with the race team. Most importantly, the great partnership that we have created with Okuma over the last five years is surpassed only by the performance of Okuma CNC machines that we have in our shop."
