Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. announced a new official partnership with NASCAR powerhouse Hendrick Motorsports and its No. 17 Chevrolet team to enhance the organization's cyber defenses and protect its technology ecosystem against evolving digital threats. As the digital footprint of modern motorsports continues to expand -- from data-driven vehicle engineering to connected fan experiences and operational systems -- Hendrick Motorsports will leverage Check Point's cyber platform to safeguard its networks, endpoints, applications, and critical data.
With the new agreement, Check Point will become an associate sponsor of 20-year-old driver Corey Day and the No. 17 Chevrolet as the team competes for the NASCAR O'Reilly Series championship in 2026. Throughout the season, Check Point branding will be featured on the race car, the team's fire suits, track equipment and other locations.
Check Point will provide Hendrick Motorsports with advanced threat prevention, real-time threat intelligence, and unified security management across the team's diverse IT environment, helping protect against ransomware, malware, phishing, and other cyber risks that threaten competitive advantage and operational continuity. Check Point's integrated security platform will help Hendrick Motorsports anticipate, prevent, and respond to emerging threats, while enabling secure collaboration across team members, partners, and technology ecosystems. The partnership underscores the importance of strong cybersecurity measures in high-performance, data-driven environments.
