CONCORD, N.C. – Chip Ganassi Racing announced Wednesday that the Moose Fraternity will join the organization as a primary partner on the No. 42 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE driven by Ross Chastain.

The partnership is a continuation for Moose and Chastain, who began a relationship with the fraternal order last year for three races in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and one Cup Series race.

The partnership includes several primary races as well as associate sponsorship for the Moose Fraternity on the No. 42 car.

Additionally, through social media content and select events at lodges around the country, CGR will help to amplify the message of the Moose Fraternity to race fans.

“We’re excited for the Moose Fraternity to team up again with Ross Chastain and expand on their partnership that began last year in the Xfinity Series,” said Doug Duchardt, COO, Chip Ganassi Racing. “We look forward to growing the relationship between CGR and the Moose throughout the season and helping to amplify their message to race fans across the country.”

The Moose Fraternity, headquartered in Mooseheart, Ill., has a membership of nearly 1,000,000 men and women throughout the roughly 1,300 lodges across 49 states, four Canadian provinces, and Great Britain.

Members are involved in civic and charitable service in their communities, in addition to supporting the operation of Mooseheart Child City & School, a 1,000-acre community for children and teens in need, located 40 miles west of Chicago; and Moosehaven, a 70-acre retirement community for members near Jacksonville, Fla.

“We were very pleased with our partnership with Ross Chastain in 2020 as he represented the Fraternity in a very positive way and are excited to continue that relationship this year,” noted Scott Hart, CEO, Moose International. “He, along with Chip Ganassi Racing, projects the same values that we have as an organization and certainly supports our core missions, especially giving children in need a second chance at life.”

Chastain isn’t just the driver of the No. 42 Moose Chevrolet, he’s also a Moose member.

Through his partnership in the Xfinity Series with the Moose Fraternity last year, Chastain became a member of the fraternal order. During the NASCAR season, Chastain and the team will continue to share the virtues of membership and encourage fans to learn more about the Moose Fraternity and their local lodges.

“I really enjoyed getting to know the team from the Moose Fraternity last season and was honored to be made a member of the Order, and it’s great to welcome them to Chip Ganassi Racing and the No. 42 team in the Cup Series,” said Chastain. “Their members do a lot of good work in communities across the country, and with everything going on I can’t think of a better time to help promote what the Moose do and who they are.”
