Clayton Jones, an Account Executive at Saia Inc., shared the exciting news on LinkedIn, writing, “Saia LTL is officially sponsoring #NASCAR!”
This partnership marks Saia LTL’s debut as a NASCAR sponsor, adding another reputable brand to the Joe Gibbs Racing stable and highlighting the team’s ability to attract top-tier corporate partners.
A Winning Combination
Saia LTL’s involvement with JGR comes as Ty Gibbs embarks on his sophomore season in the NASCAR Cup Series. After capturing the NASCAR Xfinity Series championship in 2022, Gibbs had a promising rookie season in 2023 and is now poised for even greater success in 2024.
The No. 54 Toyota is already recognized for its strong performance on the track, and Saia’s partnership signals confidence in the young driver’s potential. The addition of Saia’s branding will be prominently featured on Gibbs’ car throughout the season, giving the logistics company prime exposure to NASCAR’s loyal and expansive fanbase.
Saia’s Move into Motorsports
For Saia LTL Freight, the partnership is a natural extension of its commitment to speed, precision, and reliability—values that align seamlessly with NASCAR’s competitive spirit. As one of the nation’s leading less-than-truckload (LTL) carriers, Saia sees NASCAR as a powerful platform to connect with customers and employees while growing its presence in the motorsports industry.
“Saia is thrilled to partner with Ty Gibbs and Joe Gibbs Racing for the upcoming NASCAR season,” Jones added on LinkedIn. “This collaboration reflects our commitment to excellence and our excitement to join the NASCAR community.”

I’m looking forward to representing them this season.”
A Growing Trend in NASCAR Sponsorship
Saia’s entrance into NASCAR follows a growing trend of logistics and transportation companies aligning themselves with the sport. With NASCAR’s massive audience and highly visible branding opportunities, the partnership provides Saia with a unique platform to showcase its services to a national and international audience.
Looking Ahead
The partnership between Saia LTL Freight and Joe Gibbs Racing promises to be mutually beneficial as both entities aim for success in the 2024 NASCAR season. For Saia, it’s a chance to connect with a passionate fanbase and establish itself as a significant player in motorsports marketing. For Ty Gibbs, the sponsorship adds momentum to his promising Cup Series career.
With Saia’s colors on the No. 54 Toyota, fans can expect to see a fresh new look on the track this season. The partnership marks another exciting chapter for Joe Gibbs Racing and the continued growth of NASCAR’s appeal to high-profile brands.
