“We’ve had the honor of working with Stillhouse® since early 2021, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have such a great company and Spirit join our team again in 2022,” said Sam Hunt, owner of Sam Hunt Racing. “It has always felt like family with the Stillhouse® group, and we’re excited to continue growing our relationship this year.”

Sam Hunt Racing began its relationship with Stillhouse® in early 2021. Santino Ferrucci piloted the No. 26 Stillhouse® Whiskey Toyota GR Supra at Homestead-Miami Speedway in his NXS debut. The Official Bourbon of the Daytona 500 was also the primary partner of the No. 26 Toyota GR Supra at Daytona International Speedway with Colin Garrett in July of 2022. SHR is looking forward to extending its partnership with Stillhouse® throughout the season.

Nemechek, who won the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) regular season in 2021, will add to his NXS resume with SHR in 2022. After three seasons in the NXS, Nemechek has collected two wins, fourteen top-five finishes, 33 top-10 finishes, and one pole starting position.
