Progressive Insurance is returning to Joe Gibbs Racing in 2026, sponsoring Denny Hamlin and the No. 11 Toyota Camry XSE in 11 NASCAR Cup Series events, starting at Texas Motor Speedway in May and including the season-finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

The industry-leading insurance provider joined Joe Gibbs Racing and Hamlin as an anchor partner in 2025, sponsoring 18 races and finding immediate success, with victories at Martinsville Speedway, Dover Motor Speedway, and World Wide Technology Raceway.

"The Progressive relationship means a lot to our team," said Hamlin. "They came on board at a point when we really needed help last year and we were able to deliver great results on the track and later in the year, we did more stuff with them away from the track. It's a testament to waht our sport can drive as far as value for our sponsors, and we're excited to have them back on board to continue to build on what we started in 2025."
