Picote Hits the Track
with JR Motorsports

At Picote, performance isn’t just something we talk about—it’s something we live every single day. Whether we’re solving challenges underground and inside buildings or watching racing cars push the limits on the track, precision, reliability and speed are at the core of what we do. That’s why we’re proud to partner with JR Motorsports as an associate sponsor across a select group of races this season in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series.

You’ll see Picote logos on some cars driven by an exciting lineup of drivers:

• Connor Zilisch in the #1 car
• Justin Allgaier in the #7 car
• Ross Chastain in the #9 car
• Carson Kvapil in the #1 car

Shared Values: From Pipelines to Pit Lane

This partnership is about more than logos on a car; it’s about shared values. Racing demands preparation, teamwork and the ability to perform under pressure. It’s not so different from what we do at Picote.

Just like a pit crew executing a flawless stop, our teams and customers rely on the right tools, the right training and the right mindset to deliver when it counts.

History

Picote has supported motorsports in one way or another since 2017- it's in our blood! We have sponsored the Finnish Gabrielsson RX team with driver Lucas Gabrielsson for the last 9 years. We also supported Michael McDowell's endeavours in 2023/4, Front Row Motorsports in the Xfinity Series in 2025 and we are excited to continue in 2026 alongside JR Motorsports. Check out the archive images below for more history.

For Picote, these partnerships are about connecting with a community that values performance, innovation and hard work, both on and off the track.

We’re proud to be part of these race weekends with JR Motorsports and look forward to seeing what this talented group of drivers can accomplish.

So whether you’re trackside or following along from afar, keep an eye out for Picote.

A Strong Industry Presence

We’re also excited to see companies like Roto-Rooter and Maxliner stepping into the spotlight at events like Bristol, where they’ll be part of a unique doubleheader weekend alongside Connor Zilisch. It’s a great example of how our industry is gaining visibility on a national stage. Check out their fun video below!
