Code 3 Associates, a non-profit specializing in animal rescue and recovery in disaster areas, announced Wednesday it will sponsor three more Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series races with Danica Patrick in conjunction with the One Cure project and a fourth race alone.
One Cure, according to a release, is an initiative at “Colorado State University Flint Animal Cancer Center (FACC) where innovative cancer treatments for pets are being researched in clinical trials to benefit people.”
Code 3 Associates and One Cure will sponsor Patrick’s No. 10 Ford on May 13 at Kansas Speedway, in the Open all-star preliminary race on May 20 at Charlotte Motor Speedway and Aug. 19 at Bristol Motor Speedway. The Kansas and Charlotte cars will have a Wonder Woman movie paint scheme promoting the June 2 release.


Code 3 Associates will be primary sponsor alone on June 25 at Sonoma Raceway.
With expected primary sponsor Nature’s Bakery awaiting mediation in a breach of contract suit and countersuit with Stewart-Haas Racing, existing Patrick sponsors have gradually expanded commitments. Aspen Dental announced in February it had agreed to increase its participation to “double-digit” races but the exact amount of unsponsored races remains unclear.
Patrick is currently 30th in driver points after eight races with a best finish of 17th at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
