Associated Press
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing announced Friday a multi-year sponsor partnership with Trimble beginning in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season.
Trimble will be the primary sponsor on Ryan Preece's No. 60 Ford Mustang and Chris Buescher's No. 17 Ford Mustang, beginning with Preece's entry at Nashville Superspeedway on June 1. In addition, it was announced that Trimble will increase its involvement across RFK Racing's full fleet in upcoming seasons, including Brad Keselowski's No. 6 Ford Mustang.
Trimble is a global technology company that enables essential industries including construction, geospatial and transportation.
'This is a high-profile opportunity to expand awareness of Trimble by supporting a leading NASCAR team with a technology vision closely aligned with our own,' Trimble president and CEO Rob Painter said. 'Both organizations focus on cohesive technology ecosystems and data-driven precision as the formula for winning in dynamic and intensely competitive environments.'
Trimble employs more than 12,000 people worldwide and serves customers in over 175 countries. The company reported $3.68 billion in revenue in 2024, according to a release.
'Partnering with a forward-thinking, technology-driven company like Trimble is a great fit for RFK Racing,' said Steve Newmark, president of RFK Racing. 'Our team and Trimble operate in fast-paced, high-performance environments that demand precision and innovation. Their deep expertise and commitment to technology will bring valuable perspective and collaboration to our program.'
Trimble is also set to join the RFK TeK Alliance, a collaborative platform where technology-oriented sponsors work together to test and refine products in applied racing and operational environments.
'Every week in NASCAR feels like a science project, where we're constantly testing, learning, and improving,' said RFK Racing driver and co-owner Brad Keselowski. 'Partnering with Trimble allows us to do more of that work in the digital space, refining our performance virtually before we ever hit the track. That kind of innovation is not only smart, it's essential in today's competitive environment.'

Cricket Australia confirmed Maxwell's decision Monday. The 36-year-old Maxwell played 149 ODIs for Australia in an enduring career that is memorable for his unbeaten double-century in the 2023 World Cup, his unconventional shot-making and his brilliant fielding. Maxwell said the physical toll of the ODI game, which can take up to eight hours and be played on short turnarounds, was beginning to impact on his fielding ability and he didn't think he'd make it to the 2027 World Cup. 'I always said I wasn't going to hand my position over if I felt like I was still good enough to play. I didn't want to just hold on for a couple of series and almost play for selfish reasons," Maxwell said. The Australian selectors 'are moving in such a clear direction,' he said, so the retirement confirmation "gives them the best look at what the lineup is leading into that next World Cup. I know how important that planning is.' Australia's selection chairman George Bailey said Maxwell was one of the one-day game's most dynamic players and played a key role in two ODI World Cup titles. The shorter T20 format is still a good vehicle for Maxwell's rare talents. 'His level of natural talent and skill is remarkable. His energy in the field, under-rated ability with the ball and longevity has been superb," Bailey said. "What else stands out is his passion for and commitment to playing for Australia. ___
