BARR-NUNN DRIVERS EARN STINT AS NASCAR HAULERS
Because Barr-Nunn Transportation is a sponsor of Justin Labonte’s No. 44 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, its drivers of the month become honorary Labonte team members and co-drivers of Labonte’s NASCAR hauler.

William Jamison, William Overman and Thomas Van De Pol recently earned this honor. “It was so rewarding and gratifying to be around people in sports who have such professionalism and knowledge,” Jamison says.

The car’s primary sponsor is the U.S. Coast Guard.
