The Fifth Third Bank came on board with RFK Racing back in 2012 and since then they have been proud partners.

The most recent one came in 2023 when Buecher won at Daytona with Fifth Third acting as his primary sponsor. With the recent announcement, both the driver and the team are thrilled to have onboarded the banking consultant for the 2024 season. The five races will see Ford No.17 draped in the wild-looking skin that has already got people talking online.
RFK Racing announced the extension of the partnership with a post on X captioned, “Ready to give the competition a run for their money. 💰 @FifthThird @Chris_Buescher,” This was followed by another post that read, “The bright & glowing @FifthThird colors will return to Chris Buescher’s No. 17 for five races this season”.
