Iowa trucking company sponsors NASCAR driver for Iowa Speedway race

An Iowa trucking company has partnered with NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Patrick Emerling for a race happening this weekend at the Iowa Speedway.

On June 11, Emerling announced the partnership with Dixon, Iowa-headquartered Hoker Trucking for the June 15 HyVee Perks 250 at the Iowa Speedway located in Newton, Iowa.

“Hoker Trucking is excited to partner with the Patrick Emerling team for the HyVee Perks 250 at Iowa Speedway,” said Hoker Trucking owner Jeff Hoker. “This will be our first time sponsoring an Xfinity Series driver, and we are excited to be part of such a great event on a track in our home state of Iowa.”

“I’m stoked to be able to race at Iowa this weekend in front of a sold-out crowd! It’s a cool track, and with my roots in modified racing, I love short tracks,” said Emerling. “I have a great partner this weekend in Hoker Trucking. They’re big supporters of local racing, so it’s exciting to bring them into the top tiers of NASCAR.” 

Hoker has previously sponsored Justin Kay Racing, Chris Simpson Racing, Brian Shirley Racing, Bobby Pierce Racing, Ricky Thornton Jr. Racing, Jason Feger Racing, Timmy Current Racing, Gordy Gundaker Racing, and Jake Lund.
