BK Racing is a stock car racing team, that competes in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The team currently fields the No. 23 Dr Pepper Toyota Camry and the No. 26 Maxim Fantasy Sports Toyota Camry for J. J. Yeley and Jeb Burton, and the No. 83 Burger King Toyota Camry for Johnny Sauter and Matt DiBenedetto. ==Ownership and sponsorship== BK Racing is owned by a couple of investors who were formerly involved in the ownership of TRG Motorsports Sprint Cup Series team, which closed after the 2011 season. Burger King franchise owner Ron Devine and tomato grower Wayne Press joined Thomas Uberall, former race director of the Red Bull Racing Team, to acquire the assets and race shop of the former Red Bull operation following its closure after the 2011 season. Like Front Row Motorsports owner Bob Jenkins, principal owner Devine's many Burger King franchises allow him to advertise the brand on the cars when there is no outside sponsor.〔〔 Prior to the 2012 Daytona 500, Burger King announced a "licensing agreement" with the team, authenticating the paint schemes of the 83 and 93 and the usage of the company's logos, though it is unclear whether or not the company and/or franchisee Devine funds the team. According to a 2013 ''Autoweek'' article, the partnership is limited to the licensing agreement, with Burger King not sponsoring the team. The Burger King partnership includes the branding of Dr Pepper, a soft drink served at Burger King restaurants. Dr Pepper has appeared as the primary sponsor of the team on various occasions (typically the 93 car), and expanded to a newly renumbered 23 car for 2014 (signifying the drink's 23 flavors). In May 2014, the team expanded to three cars and added another owner and investor in Anthony Marlowe.〔 Formerly a partner in the recently exited Swan Racing, Marlowe founded outsourcing company TMone, and is currently the managing partner in Iowa City Capital Partners. The team used engines from Triad Racing Technologies upon inception.〔 In 2014, the team started an in-house engine program while using Triad engines on occasion.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BK Racing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
