Just days after announcing his move from JR Motorsports in 2010, Keselowski and Penske Racing have signed Discount Tire as their primary sponsor for at least 26 Nationwide Series races next year.

Keselowski will drive the No. 22 Dodge full time in the Nationwide Series next year along with a full-time Sprint Cup schedule.

"I look forward to representing Discount Tire and their over 750 retail locations as they are winners in their industry," said Keselowski. "Like me, Discount Tire was born in Michigan, and that definitely adds special meaning for this new relationship."

Discount Tire, which signed a multi-year deal with Penske, will also be an associate sponsor on Keselowski and teammate Kurt Busch's Sprint Cup Series cars. Additionally, the company will also join the Penske Racing IndyCar Series program as an associate sponsor on the team's Indianapolis 500 entries next season.

Discount Tire currently sponsors David Ragan's No. 6 Roush Fenway Racing Nationwide Series ride. The partnership has been in place since the start of the 2007 season.
