PHOENIX, May 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Pit Boss® Grills, the fastest growing brand in the grilling industry, is proud to announce that it has partnered with NASCAR Xfinity Series driver A.J. Allmendinger and Kaulig Racing and will be the primary sponsor of the No. 16 Chevy Camaro at the inaugural Pit Boss 250 at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas on Saturday, May 22.

"We are blessed to partner with A.J. Allmendinger and the entire No. 16 team for the Pit Boss 250," said Dansons President Jeff Thiessen. "A.J. is arguably the best road course driver on the Xfinity Series circuit, so we are thrilled to have someone of his caliber wheeling the #16 Pit Boss Chevy Camaro in the inaugural Pit Boss 250. We are very excited for a great day of racing at the iconic Circuit of the Americas in the heart of barbecue country in Austin, Texas."

Allmendinger, nicknamed a "road-course ringer," will represent Pit Boss Grills at the driver level for an event where they currently hold sponsorship rights at the race (Pit Boss 250), track (Official Grill of Speedway Motorsports) and league (Official Grill of NASCAR) levels.

"I'm pumped to have such a big brand like Pit Boss Grills come on board for our race at COTA," said Allmendinger. "I'm excited to join the Pit Boss team and I'm thankful for the opportunity to hopefully put on a good show for them at COTA."

The Pit Boss 250 will be part of the inaugural NASCAR at COTA weekend, as the nation's top racing circuit visits Austin for the first time. The Xfinity Series showdown will feature NASCAR's rising stars battling on the 3.41-mile long course at the world-renowned, 20-turn counterclockwise circuit. COTA is America's only facility that annually hosts both Formula 1 and MotoGP races, and is also the only FIA-certified Grade 1 track in the United States.

"We couldn't be more excited to have Pit Boss Grills with us at COTA!" said Kaulig Racing team president, Chris Rice. "This is a track we have circled on our calendars at Kaulig Racing, and we are confident AJ will be able to put on a good show for everyone at Pit Boss."
