Ally Financial

Ally Financial revealed a new paint scheme for Hendrick Motorsports' No. 48 Chevrolet, driven by Jimmie Johnson in his final full-time NASCAR season, and it features the signatures of 10,000 of his fans. The scheme will appear on Johnson's ride at the Martinsville race on Nov. 1. Ally also surprised Johnson with a $70,000 donation to the Jimmie Johnson Foundation: $10,000 for each championship title. The funds will help seed a number of new grants to address inequities affecting Black and Brown communities. After the season, the "Sign for Jimmie" car will be on display at the NASCAR HOF (Ally Financial).
