Chad Finchum Rejoining Garage 66 for All-Star Open, Nashville With Aires

Chad Finchum will compete in his first NASCAR All-Star Open this weekend, as well as the Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway, piloting the No. 66 Garage 66 Ford Mustang Dark Horse with support from American Aires.

Aires, a pioneer in advanced technology designed to optimize electromagnetic field (EMF) environments to support health and well-being, will be prominently showcased on the hood, door, roof, and bumper of the Finchum's car in both events.

“It’s great to be partnering again with Chad Finchum and the Garage 66 team," said Josh Bruni, Aires CEO. "Chad isn’t just a competitor – he’s a new father, an elite performer, and someone who understands the connection between environment and performance. That makes this partnership deeply aligned. He discovered Aires through his personal pursuit of a cleaner, healthier life – at home and on the track. And like many athletes we work with, he knows that high performance starts with low interference.

"As the lead sponsor, we’re not just showing up with an Aires paint job – we’re making a point. Vehicles are one of the most EMF-saturated spaces in daily life, yet often overlooked. Whether it’s a racecar or a family SUV, Aires helps reformat that invisible layer between technology and biology. This moment is a symbol of something bigger: from arenas to cars to homes, people are rethinking their environments. And we’re proud to help drive that shift forward.”

Truan Equipment Company will adorn the upper quarter-panel of the No. 66 during the All-Star Open at North Wilkesboro, where Finchum hopes to race his way into the NASCAR All-Star Race on Sunday, May 18. Truan is based in Knoxville, Tennessee and sells and rents construction equipment and attachments.

Cooper&Hunter will occupy that spot on the car for the NASCAR Cup Series event at Nashville Superspeedway on June 1.

“At Cooper & Hunter, we are honored to be part of the NASCAR Cup Series alongside Garage 66 and Chad Finchum—because this partnership is more than just sponsorship, it’s a story of passion, performance, and shared values," said Cooper&Hunter marketing director Jake Neto. "The HVAC industry moves fast, demands precision, and thrives on efficiency—just like NASCAR.

"Chad Finchum embodies that spirit, not only as a fierce competitor on the track but as a dedicated professional off it, running his own family contractor company and installing our units throughout the week. Seeing him represent us on race day is truly inspiring, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to support him on and off the track.”

Finchum will be making his first appearance in NASCAR's All-Star Weekend. The Nashville event will be his third appearance in the NASCAR Cup Series at the 1.33-mile speedway located in Lebanon, Tennessee.

“I love short track racing, and I love racing in front of my home crowd. Aires, Truan Equipment, Cooper&Hunter, and all of our partners have given me the opportunity to do both over the next couple events,” said Finchum. “It feels great to be getting behind the wheel of the Garage 66 entry three times in a five-week span. We can really get into a rhythm and build some momentum heading into these race weekends. With Aires EMF optimization, I will be able to deliver my maximum performance on raceday at both North Wilkesboro and Nashville.”

“It is a big deal for our growing program to return to a track with the same driver, same manufacturer, and multiple returning team sponsors," said Garage 66 co-owner Carl Long. "It shows we are providing value to our partners, and it gives us the best chance to keep picking up speed on the racetrack. I know Chad will be laser-focused on doing a great job behind the wheel for all the folks supporting us."

Finchum made an appearance earlier this season with Garage 66 at Texas Motor Speedway. The Nashville event will be Finchum's 11th NASCAR Cup Series start in a points-paying event.
