“This partnership with Focused Health is incredibly important to me, Spire Motorsports and Trackhouse Racing,” Smith said in a statement. “It will be my job this year to bring awareness to the government supported health insurance programs available to our fans.
“These programs are both primary and supplemental, and Focused Health will educate those in need and introduce them to the programs readily available.”
Focused Health is the second sponsor to join Smith for his rookie season. Spire Motorsports and Trackhouse Racing previously announced that WeatherTech will sponsor Smith during the Daytona 500 on Feb. 18.
The sponsor announcements continued with RFK Racing and Front Row Motorsports as the organizations closed out a busy week.
RFK Racing announced the return of Solomon Plumbing as a primary partner for multiple races. Front Row Motorsports announced the return of Georgia Peanuts for one primary race.
Solomon Plumbing, which has supported multiple drivers since 2018, will return as a primary sponsor of Brad Keselowski. The company will take over the No. 6 Ford Mustang for four Cup races, starting with Las Vegas on March 3.

The Solomon Plumbing schedule will continue with Gateway June 2, Darlington Sept. 1 and Kansas Sept. 29. This matches the four races last season when Solomon Plumbing was Keselowski’s primary sponsor. His best finish in the Solomon Plumbing Ford was sixth at Darlington to start the playoffs.
Front Row Motorsports announced Friday that Georgia Peanuts will continue its support of Todd Gilliland and the No. 38 team. The red and yellow scheme will take over the Ford Mustang Feb. 25 at Atlanta.
This season marks the third consecutive season Georgia Peanuts has sponsored Gilliland. His best finish with the Georgia Peanuts scheme is seventh in the 2022 fall race at Talladega.
“I’m excited to continue my relationship with the Georgia Peanuts family, it’s one I am proud to be a part of,” Gilliland said in a statement. “They play a key role in our on-track success while also supporting their local peanut farmers and communities. They are a wonderful organization to represent and I’m excited to drive the peanut paint scheme again, it’s one of our most popular.”
