Lucas Oil Returns as Primary Sponsor for Richard Childress Racing’s No. 8 Chevrolet

Lucas Oil, manufacturer of high-performance lubricants and a long-time partner of Richard Childress Racing (RCR), will serve as the primary sponsor of the No. 8 Chevrolet, driven by two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch, for multiple races throughout the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, beginning at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia on March 30. Following that, the Lucas Oil colors will be seen at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City, June 15, and the Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee, September 13, the third race of the Cup Series Playoffs.

“Our relationship with RCR is built on mutual respect, trust and a shared passion for racing,” said Brandon Bernstein, director of partnership marketing for Lucas Oil. “We’ve been working side by side with RCR and ECR Engines for over a decade, constantly developing and improving our products to meet the extreme demands of NASCAR racing. And Kyle Busch is not just one of the best drivers out there—he’s also part of the Lucas Oil family. We’re proud to back him and the No. 8 team, whether it’s on a short track, a superspeedway, or even in the sprint car world with his son, Brexton.”

Long-Time Lucas Oil & RCR Partnership Continues to Grow

This expanded partnership highlights Lucas Oil’s long-standing commitment to RCR and its technical alliance with ECR Engines, which has been in place for more than a decade. As the official lubricant provider for RCR and ECR, Lucas Oil says that it develops proprietary race-day formulations designed to maximize engine performance and reliability under the most demanding conditions.

“Season after season, Lucas Oil has given us the technical support needed to run up front and win, and that is what makes this partnership so exceptional and why we are thrilled to have them back as the primary sponsor of the No. 8 Chevrolet,” said Mike Verlander, president of RCR.

In addition to the partnership with RCR and ECR Engines, Lucas Oil also serves as the Official Oil for Kyle and Brexton Busch’s micro and sprint car team. The Busch family has been making headlines, with Brexton recently securing a victory in the Junior Sprint A-Main at the Tulsa Shootout.
