McAnally-Hilgemann Racing announced today that Tyler Ankrum will have a new primary sponsor for two races during the 2024 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series (NCTS) season. The No. 18 Chevrolet Silverado RST will feature the Union Labor Life Company, Ullico, as the primary sponsor at Bristol Motor Speedway (BMS) on Saturday, March 16th, and at Nashville Superspeedway on Friday, June 28th.
Ullico, who provides financial security for unions and their members, is a long-standing partner of the Laborers International Union of North America (LIUNA). This will be the second year of Ankrum‘s partnership with Ullico, as he debuted their colors at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in 2023.
“It‘s an honor to represent Ullico again this season,” Ankrum said. “This is our second year together and I couldn‘t be happier to run their colors at Bristol and Nashville. It’s been a great start to the year and I‘m looking forward to continuing that momentum as we grow this partnership. Ullico is doing remarkable things for union members financial security, and I‘m thrilled that I can represent them on the track again this season. Hopefully, we can put the No. 18 in victory lane this weekend for them at Bristol.”
For over 95 years, Ullico has been protecting and helping to grow the North American labor movement with world-class insurance and investment products for union members, union leaders, and union benefit funds. Ullico ensures that union dollars work for union members.
“We are thrilled to partner with LIUNA member, Tyler Ankrum, on his No. 18 for the upcoming NASCAR Truck race at Bristol,” Brian Hale said, Ullico CEO and President. “As the only labor-owned insurance and investment company, Ullico has been a champion for the American worker since 1927. We empower unions and their members by investing in projects that put them to work and by providing insurance that protects them and their families. Above all, we respect hardworking people, and a union member like Tyler exemplifies that standard. On behalf of everyone at Ullico, we wish him success as he races in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series in Tennessee.”
Ankrum will debut the new Ullico paint scheme on board his No. 18 Chevrolet at BMS Saturday night at 8:00 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1.
