RICHMOND, Va. — In honor of its 100th anniversary, Thomas Built Buses will sponsor Brad Keselowski as he drives the No. 2 Thomas Built Buses Ford Fusion in the Toyota Owners 400.

The race will take place at Richmond International Raceway April 24 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Part of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, this will mark Thomas Built Buses’ first appearance in a NASCAR race.

On Friday, Keselowski, who is a member of Team Penske, will take a group of 50 students around the track in Thomas Built Buses’ Saf-T-Liner C2 CNG school bus.

“Our sister brand, Alliance Truck Parts, has sponsored Brad the past two years,” said Caley Edgerly, president and CEO of Thomas Built Buses. “We are pleased to have a presence at one of Brad’s races this year and to share our 100th anniversary with Keselowski fans. Our dealers and employees are excited, and we hope this race will be something to remember for our customers and the children who ride our buses every day.”

Tickets for the race are available by calling the Richmond International ticket hotline at (866) 455-7223 or at RIR.com. For those who are unable to attend, the Toyota Owners 400 will be televised on FOX. Check listings for local broadcast times.
