All-Pro Auto Reconditioning are the brand taking up the position, and in 2025, they are set to feature dominantly on Byron's car at the Chicago Street Race in July and the Cup Series playoff opener at Darlington in August.

Their presence will grow in the coming seasons, with the brand serving as primary sponsor at two races once again in 2026, four races in 2027, and six races per season in 2028, 2029, and 2030.

“It means a lot when a partner believes in what we’re doing and chooses to grow with us,” said Hendrick.

“The No. 24 team has competed at a high level, and William continues to elevate his role as a driver, a leader and a spokesperson. All-Pro is expanding the program because it supports business goals, strengthens their connection with customers and reflects the performance-driven culture they’ve developed.

"We’re proud of this long-term commitment and can’t wait to see what’s next.”

Byron: Partnership shows that we're delivering results

All-Pro first joined Hendrick Motorsports as an associate sponsor of the No. 24 team last season.

And, Byron believes that this new expansion of their relationship is proof that he and the team are delivering results.

"I’m really proud of what we’ve accomplished with All-Pro in such a short time,” the two-time Daytona 500 winner said.

“They’re a great partner with a shared commitment to performance. Having them become a primary sponsor shows that we’re delivering results, and it means a lot to me and the whole No. 24 team.

"We’re looking to build on our momentum and put All-Pro up front for years to come.”
