BRUNT Workwear, in partnership with Black Rifle Coffee Company and Niece Motorsports, is sponsoring a distinctive driver lineup for the opening event of the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series — the Fresh From Florida 250 at Daytona International Speedway.
The collaboration will see action sports and motorsports veteran Travis Pastrana driving the No. 42 truck adorned with BRUNT branding, while popular digital creator Cleetus McFarland will make his series debut in the No. 4 truck representing Black Rifle Coffee Company. This joint marketing initiative extends beyond the racetrack, featuring a dedicated video series on Pastrana’s online Channel 199 and a combined charitable donation to the veteran-focused Boot Campaign organization.
For BRUNT Workwear, the sponsorship directly aligns its products with the grit, durability, and skilled performance inherent in both professional motorsports and the trade professions it serves.
