RCA has announced that it is returning to the NASCAR Cup Series. A three-race partnership between RCA and Spire Motorsports during the 2026 season will see RCA sponsoring the No. 71 car driven by Michael McDowell.
RCA will debut on McDowell’s Chevrolet Camaro during NASCAR’s All-Star Race weekend, May 15–17, at Dover Motor Speedway. The NASCAR All-Star Race will air live on FS1 Sunday, May 17 at 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Additional races featuring the RCA brand are scheduled for September 19 at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway and October 5 at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.
“This partnership is a strategic step forward for RCA as we continue to grow our presence in the U.S. market,” said Tony Bozzini, President of RCA. “NASCAR offers a powerful platform to connect with a highly engaged audience, and Spire Motorsports provides the right partner to help us bring the RCA brand back to racing in a meaningful way.”
RCA branding will be featured on McDowell’s No. 71 entry and integrated throughout the team’s operations, including on communications headsets, highlighting the brand’s legacy in connectivity and performance technology.
“Our Spire Motorsports team has been working so hard these last few months to bring in new partners, and RCA is a great fit,” said McDowell. “Our sport relies on communication, and the RCA brand has a deep history of keeping people connected. I am excited to wear the red and white RCA colors and represent the brand and its values on and off the track. I’m especially looking forward to the race at Talladega later this fall. We started on the pole last October and led for a lot of laps. We expect to bring that same speed this year with the RCA colors on our No. 71 Chevrolet.”
RCA previously competed in NASCAR through a partnership with Cale Yarborough Motorsports, earning a notable victory at the Pepsi 400.
