Liberty National Life Insurance Company NASCAR Sponsorship

MCKINNEY, Texas, Nov. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Liberty National Life Insurance Company launched its first sports partnership with the winningest racing team in NASCAR history, Roush Fenway Racing. Previous Daytona 500 winner, Trevor Bayne, is set to drive the No. 6 Liberty National Ford Fusion, debuting at Atlanta Motor Speedway in March 2017. "Liberty National is a well-respected brand," said Bayne. "I can't wait to see the No. 6 Liberty National Ford on track. Our goal is to put the Liberty National car up front and compete for race wins."

Since 1948, NASCAR has thrived as a family-favorite, family-owned and operated sport. Liberty National has served middle-income families since 1900, making the Liberty National/Roush-Fenway partnership a natural fit. Liberty National Life Insurance Company will be featured on the No. 6 car in select tracks, including Daytona International Speedway, Talladega Superspeedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, and Bristol Motor Speedway.

"Our long history in the insurance industry coupled with Jack Roush's long history in NASCAR is an important piece to this new relationship. Liberty National already serves a NASCAR fan base, so it makes sense we explore opportunities in the sport," said Liberty National President, Steve DiChiaro.

Liberty National has employees in its McKinney, Texas, and Birmingham, Alabama, offices. LNL also has independently operated local offices and independent contractors throughout the United States. Liberty National is a wholly owned subsidiary of Torchmark Corporation (NYSE: TMK), headquartered in McKinney, Texas.
