Pacific Packaging Group will be sponsoring the #47 Nationwide Toyota Camry driven by Michael McDowell along with the teams other sponsor partners. The partnership came together after a meeting at Homestead last season and after Pacific Group Inc., had spent months planning to run a program for its family of companies and brands starting in 2009. Pacific Group Inc. had very imperative qualifications to maximize its NASCAR initiatives, so the decision to team up with JTG and the team’s current sponsors was based upon the values, stability and reputation that JTG Daugherty Racing brought to the partnership.

“We feel that it is the fans who are the most important part of this sport,” stated Shawn Thompson, CEO of Pacific Group. “The fact that 75 million NASCAR fans have over the years supported corporate America through their purchases of NASCAR team sponsored products, it is time that we, as sponsors acknowledge this, thank them and do everything possible to continue to give the fans an exciting show.”

Both JTG Daugherty and Pacific Group Inc., saw the win-win of what they had to offer and how it would extend to both Nationwide and Cup programs running throughout the multi year deal. Pacific Packaging Group will be the first sponsoring brand from within the Pacific Group Inc. family of brands. JTG Daugherty’s marketing arm, ST Motorsports, will be working with Pacific Group inc. in innovative new ways to maximize opportunities.

“The great thing about this group is that everyone in it gets it. Tad, Jodi and their team are very professional with a thorough understanding of what it takes to run a successful program, on and off the track” continued Thompson “We have exciting new launches on the radar and JTG Daugherty is the perfect partner to capture and grow the sponsorship opportunities we have.”
