Michael Waltrip, rental company extend partnership

In Michael Waltrip, a national leasing company has found something you cannot buy.

Waltrip hasn't driven full time in NASCAR's top series but fits what Aaron's wants. As such, it is extending his ties for the 50-year-old driver.

Waltrip and Aaron's have been linked for 16 years. A deal extends their connection, the firm announced.

"Michael epitomizes the energetic personality of NASCAR," according to an Aaron's release on the new deal.

The arrangement includes sponsorship for Waltrip at the two races he plans to run in 2016 — this week's Daytona 500 and May 1's Geico 500 at Talladega Superspeedway.
