Longtime Hendrick Motorsports sponsor Panasonic Toughbook will remain with the organization for the 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.
The nearly decade-long relationship will continue with a different Hendrick driver and team, however.
Hendrick officials have announced that Panasonic Toughbook -- a primary sponsor of the No. 24 car, driven last year by Jeff Gordon and soon-to-be driven by rookie Chase Elliott -- will move to teammate Kasey Kahne's No. 5 team in the upcoming campaign.
