Michael Annett on Oakley's Partnership for the Auto Club Speedway Race:
"We're very excited to add another high profile brand to our sponsor lineup. Oakley has always had a strong relationship with Rusty Wallace Racing and their partnership for the California race will be a great opportunity to allow that relationship to continue to grow. Both Oakley and Pilot Flying J have been behind me since my initial races at the NASCAR level, and I look forward to being able to give back to Oakley for all of their support with a strong finish at Auto Club Speedway. I can't thank Todd Hayes at Oakley enough for all he and his team do for us."
Rusty Wallace on Oakley Joining the No. 62 Team for California:
"It's really hard to believe that 21 years have gone by since we first got together with the guys from Oakley. We've definitely had a lot of fun together and 21 years later, Oakley is still one of the coolest and most high-performance brands on the planet. From their glasses to their new firesuits and everything in between, they make some really incredible stuff. I'm very grateful to Todd Hayes and everyone at Oakley for their support over the years and excited to have them on our car in their home market race."
