Barr-Nunn Transportation Inc. and Barr-Nunn Logistics will partner with Roush Racing to sponsor Danny O’Quinn Jr. and his No. 50 NASCAR Busch Series entry.

Barr-Nunn will serve as primary sponsor for two races on the Ford Fusions and as an associate sponsor throughout the season.
Rene Beacom, president of Barr-Nunn Transportation Inc., is looking forward to the season and the opportunity to sponsor the young, up-and-coming talent.
"We are using our sponsorship to reach the professional truck driving community and to let them know about the superior driving opportunities available at Barr-Nunn Transportation,” Beacom said.
Since its inception in 1982, Barr-Nunn has been an industry leader in pay packages. It has grown to a fleet of nearly 675 tractors, 1,800 trailers and over 500 customers nationwide.
“We’re proud to have Barr-Nunn on board with our No. 50 Busch Series team,” said team owner Jack Roush. “Danny O’Quinn Jr. is a talented young driver and I am pleased to have support from sponsors like Barr-Nunn so we can put him in a car and go racing.”
Barr-Nunn will be primary sponsor on the No. 50 Ford Fusion at Bristol Motor Speedway in March and Dover International Speedway in September, while their associate deal will make them ever-present on the fleet of No. 50 World Financial Group/Stonebridge Life Insurance Fords.
