TL;DR
I Heart Mac & Cheese is making its NASCAR debut at the Daytona International Speedway with a partnership with NASCAR driver Bobby Reuse. The brand is looking to gain national exposure through this partnership.
With a significant amount of franchise sales under their belt and more locations slated to open this year, I Heart Mac & Cheese has continued growing and expanding when many competitors have taken a step back. The franchise has kept consumers coming back for more with their mouth-watering mac and cheese (and “more”), catching the attention of committed customers across the nation, including professional NASCAR driver Bobby Reuse.
Bobby has been a life-long mac and cheese connoisseur - mac and cheese is his favorite food. Once he discovered I Heart Mac & Cheese’s delicious and unique variety of custom mac and cheese bowls and grilled cheeses, he knew he had to do something new and exciting with the truck he would be driving in the race.
“I wanted to team up with a strong brand that I thought people needed to know about. I don’t trust people who don’t like mac and cheese,” Bobby joked as he spoke about the truck’s new and improved look. “I really wanted to do something fun for the race.”
Jordan Anderson, the lucky owner of the #3 truck and one of the few owners in the sport who also drives, met Bobby over five years ago. Jordan launched his team in 2018 with Bobby and his brother, Roger, as partners and have since expanded the team with the help of companies who are interested in growing their footprint. The team has had amazing partners so far, and Jordan believes that I Heart Mac & Cheese can be one of those partners in the future.
“Anytime we can bring in a new partner it’s an exciting moment for us and our fans,” Jordan stated in regard to the #3 truck’s makeover. “I definitely think we have one of the best-looking trucks on the field.”
“We are excited to be a part of the team and to gain national exposure for our brand and franchises,” said Steve Giordanella, I Heart Mac & Cheese and More CEO.
