Roush Fenway Racing has signed a three-year deal with Acronis.

The cyber protection company will be featured as the sponsor for both the No. 6 and 17 Fords of Ryan Newman and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. at Watkins Glen next weekend. Acronis will also be the primary sponsor for Newman at the Bristol night race on August 17 and Dover International Speedway on Oct. 6.

RFR’s relationship with Acronis will focus on both marketing and technology platforms and is expected to enhance the team’s racing operations at the track and race shop.

“It’s great to bring Acronis on board, and we are looking forward to having them on both of our cars at Watkins Glen,” Newman said. “They are the standard in cyber protection, and we are looking forward to working with them both as a marketing and technology partner.”

Newman, 41, is in his first season with Roush Fenway Racing. He is currently 15th in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series standings.

Acronis specializes in the development of data backup, disaster recovery, secure file sync and share and data access solutions. The cyber protection company has dual headquarters in Switzerland and Singapore. Acronis also shares partnerships in Formula 1, Formula E, and NASCAR.

“Acronis technology meets the efficiency and reliability requirements demanded by motorsport teams that compete at the highest level,” said Dan Havens, Acronis Growth Officer. “Through this partnership, Acronis will enable Roush Fenway Racing to focus on developing their car and achieving results on the racetrack without having to worry about the safety of their data. We are looking forward to a long successful partnership together.”
