Following a sponsorship stint with Nations Guard, Kyle Larson now also has an associate sponsor for the 2021 season. California-based construction company Tarlton and Son Inc will join the Hendrick Motorsports No. 5 team, whose logo will also be sported on the 28-year-old’s car.

Seemingly, Tarlton and Son have been a long-time backer of Larson in his other racing participations. They recently collaborated with Larson for the 2021 Chili Bowl event, and their logo was spotted on his midget car as well.

Larson took to Twitter to share the news with his followers. His post’s caption read, “This is awesome! The Tarlton family have been a huge part of my racing career for years, cool to have them on my Cup car now.”

Tarlton and Son Inc had also been associated with Kyle Larson Racing

The Hendrick Motorsports driver’s own racing team has also listed the firm as one of its partners. Named ‘Kyle Larson Racing,’ Tarlton and Son Inc has hence been a part of his racing journey through a myriad of short and dirt track events.

The sponsorship deal undoubtedly promises as a step forward for Larson, who could be one of the drivers to watch out for in 2021. He will now hope that with better performances, even the number of associates will increase as the season goes on.
