BLACK CREEK, Ga., Jan. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Richard Childress Racing (RCR) has partnered with Daniel Defense, a leading manufacturer of premium firearms, rail systems, and accessories, to be primary sponsor of the No. 3 NASCAR XFINITY Series team for select races during the 2017 season.
This partnership marks Daniel Defense's first venture in NASCAR. The company's signature black-and-yellow logo was unveiled on the No. 3 Chevrolet Camaro today at the annual SHOT Show in Las Vegas.

"Teaming up with Richard Childress Racing was a natural fit, and I'm sure it will open up many exciting opportunities for both Daniel Defense and RCR."
