Trimble to become primary sponsor on Buescher, Preece NASCAR Cup Series cars beginning in 2025
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.'

England fast bowler Brydon Carse considered getting toe amputated
LONDON (AP) — England fast bowler Brydon Carse said he considered getting a toe amputated after encountering longstanding problems because of his bowling action. The damage to his second toe on his left foot became so bad over the winter when playing for England that Carse was forced to pull out midway through its Champions Trophy campaign in Pakistan and withdraw from a lucrative deal in the Indian Premier League. The 29-year-old Carse explored every option to deal with the issue, including a drastic remedy. 'It ended up being quite a severe wound I was playing with for the majority of the winter. It got infected a couple of times," said Carse, speaking on Thursday ahead of England's first Twenty20 against the West Indies on Friday. "It is a bit of a running joke in the changing room, my second toe. So we came up with the thought, 'Can we just get rid of the second toe?' 'Everyone has had their opinion on my second toe. At one stage I was going to bed thinking, 'I could actually do this, I think I could get rid of my second toe.' But then the medical staff said you need it for balance so that was quickly ruled out." England test captain Ben Stokes' late father, Ged, famously took a similar course of action in his rugby league days, removing his middle finger at the knuckle to speed up his return to action. ___
