It seems like news out of the Nationwide series is coming fast and furious as we head into the season-opening Drive4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway. The recent trend of news continued today as several teams announced sponsorships on Wednesday. 

Sports Clips Haircuts announced they have renewed their partnership with Joe Gibbs Racing. Sports Clips will begin it's sixth year with Joe Gibbs Racing and will sponsor driver Elliott Sadler for seven races in the NASCAR Nationwide Series starting with the VFW Sports Clips 200 at Darlington Raceway on May 10th. Sports Clips will also sponsor Cup driver Denny Hamlin in two Sprint Cup races in 2013. 

The Motorsports Group also announced that e-Swisher will be the primary sponsor of Reed Sorenson and the #40 Chevrolet for the Drive4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway. e-Swisher is a line of electronic cigarettes and cigars by Jacksonville, Florida based Swisher International, which makes Swisher Sweets cigars. 

Richard Childress Racing has announced that the team and AdvancePierre Foods will continue their partnership for the 2013 season. The company will use many brands throughout the season.
