Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) met with the media on Wednesday morning to announce some new sponsors for their Sprint Cup Series efforts next season.

Power tool brand Stanley Black & Decker and their subsidiary company DeWalt will be sponsoring JGR drivers Matt Kenseth and Carl Edwards for the 2015 season.

Kenseth’s sponsorship with DeWalt is a reunion of sorts – they sponsored Kenseth when he was racing at Roush Fenway Racing. They ended up leaving the team in 2009, and headed over to Richard Petty Motorsports, sponsoring Marcos Ambrose and the No. 9 team.

DeWalt will serve as Kenseth’s primary sponsor for 6 races in next year’s Sprint Cup Series, and Stanley will sponsor Edwards for 12 races.

Both companies will serve as associate sponsors throughout the season.

No specifics were given as to how long the sponsorship agreement was for, or what plans they have for primary sponsorship past 2015.

Here are the paint schemes for both drivers:
