Turner Motorsports has announced that BRANDT will serve as primary sponsor of the No. 31 Chevrolet Impala driven by Justin Allgaier in the 2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series season.

Allgaier, who finished the 2010 season fourth in the NNS standings, joins Turner Motorsports in 2011 for his third full season of Nationwide Series competition.

BRANDT, located near Allgaier’s hometown in Illinois, was founded in 1953 to help Illinois farmers adopt new technologies for their operations. Today, the Springfield, Ill.-based company is a global enterprise consisting of three operating divisions: Specialty Formulations, Retail Agronomy and Dealer Support. This will mark BRANDT’s first foray as a primary sponsor with a NASCAR team.

“We are extremely excited to team up with Justin and Turner Motorsports for the 2011 racing season,” said BRANDT President and CEO Rick Brandt. “BRANDT is an exciting, aggressive and family values-based company. We feel we are teaming up with a driver who embodies these same qualities, and we are looking forward to seeing him exemplify that on the track.

"Coming from the small town of Pleasant Plains, Ill., and having the opportunity to team with such a great driver from nearby Riverton, Ill., adds to the excitement of the collaboration. Also, NASCAR’s upcoming transition to ethanol fuel embodies BRANDT’s leadership as a premier producer of environmentally sustainable products for agriculture. We look forward to representing American farmers on the track.”

Turner Motorsports owner Steve Turner is pleased to welcome the new sponsor aboard.

“I am very happy to welcome BRANDT as a Turner Motorsports marketing partner,” said Turner. “It is a company that I feel has the same core values and the same qualities that we do at Turner Motorsports. They have seen the value in NASCAR and how it can help move the needle from both a marketing and sales perspective.

"We are confident we will win with them both on and off the track. I am honored they want to be a part of our organization and are looking forward to a long-term successful relationship.”

Allgaier joined the Nationwide Series in 2009 and claimed the Rookie of the Year honors with three top-five and 12 top-10 finishes. The 24-year-old scored his first NNS victory in 2010 at Bristol Motor Speedway and finished out the season with two poles, eight top-five and 20 top-10 finishes.
