For the 2021 NASCAR Cup season, reigning champion Chase Elliott will link up with an old sponsor. Recently, Eastman Performance Films LLC extended its contract with Hendrick Motorsports for another three years.

With this, EPF will become the team’s primary sponsor for Elliott’s no. 9 Chevrolet Camaro for two races.

As part of the deal, window film brand, LLumar, will feature on Elliott’s no. 9 car. However, this will only be applicable for two races each season through 2023.

“The relationship between Eastman and Hendrick Motorsports continues to be a win-win for both organizations,” said Darrell Reed, EPF’s sales and marketing director.

“The opportunity to be aligned with Chase Elliott and ‘Team 9’ fresh off a championship season and another NASCAR Most Popular Driver award is exciting for our team and our LLumar dealers. Aligning with a recognizable young star like Chase will continue to grow awareness of the LLumar brand and products with consumers,” he added.

The brand’s objective is to provide high-performance films to protect homes, businesses, and vehicles from the sun. As it turns out, LLumar offers a variety of window tints and films for paint protection, decoration, security, and other such services.
