WELCOME, N.C. (May 22, 2018) - Richard Childress Racing (RCR) and Kalahari Resorts and Conventions are once again teaming up for the third straight year for the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season. Home to America's Largest Indoor Waterparks, Kalahari Resorts and Conventions will serve as the primary sponsor on Ryan Newman's No. 31 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 at Pocono Raceway on June 3. Kalahari Resorts and Conventions will also host RCR during its two NASCAR events in Pennsylvania.

"Kalahari is my daughters' favorite place to go when we are racing in Pocono," said Ryan Newman, driver of the No. 31 Kalahari Resorts and Conventions Camaro ZL1. "It is an ideal destination for families with kids of all ages to spend time together and have fun. Kalahari is a one-of-a-kind experience, and everything you could possibly want is there. I'm proud to have them back with us and providing RCR a special place to stay after a long workday at the track."
