Provident Metals has signed a multiple race sponsorship agreement with Phil Parsons Racing making them the primary sponsor for NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Josh Wise and his No. 98 car. The agreement will span four races from August through November, finishing off the 2014 sponsorship in Provident’s home state of Texas.
“The guys from Provident Metals arrived in Daytona to sign the agreement with monster boxes full of Zombucks silver rounds to cover their deposit,” said Phil Parsons, owner of Phil Parsons Racing. “That was an exciting exchange and a first for us. We’re thrilled to have them as part of our team.
The creative team at Provident Metals is hard at work and will debut the first of four exciting paint schemes next month in Bristol, Tennessee.
Provident Metals will be prominently featured on the No. 98 car during the following races:
- Aug. 23, 2014 – Irwin Tools Night Race at the Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee
- Sept. 6, 2014 – Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond International Raceway in Virginia
- Oct. 11, 2014 – Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina
- Nov. 2, 2014 – AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth
Josh Wise gained popularity after winning the Sprint Fan Vote over favorite Danica Patrick to earn a spot in the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race in May. He most recently finished 23rd at the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway on July 6.

Anything to begin to use something, anything other than the FRN! SMart move guys!
Since you’ve taken it this far, you should definitely get a short television commercial together for when/if these sponsored races air. Otherwise, it’s just a logo on a car racing around a track, right? I guess if Wise was to actually win one of these races, that might get some extra advertisement out there.
All in all, I just hope our premiums aren’t going up because of this, because they have been increasing for almost all silver and gold here recently.
which issue zombucks did you give them? if you keep paying in zombucks..there goes the low mintage.
Who cares about low mintage? You seriously think these ugly coins carry any sort of premium? There could be 5 of them minted in the whole world and you would be lucky to get $1.00 above spot, from any sane person that is. I can’t believe you can buy an ASE for the same price. These are the worst bullion products ever produced…horrible. They make a mockery of some of the most beautiful coins this country ever made and the artists who designed them.
John .. Looks like you could write for MSNBC and not tell the whole truth about the subject in question. I made my first NASCAR race in 1961. Bot my first silver bar, 10 oz for $40.00. FYI, If the 70,000,000 NASCAR fans across the country decided they would love to buy a limited edition 1 oz silver collector coin .. Well .. You do the math ..PS … and lighten up a tad.
You’ll feel better and more people will like you ..
Calm DOWN, guy!!! Have you had your blood pressure checked lately???
Having been a NASCAR fan for years and purchasing numerous things from Provident Metals, I do not share the same enthusiasm as others who have commented with glee. Nice to know Provident has made so much money from customers that now it can afford to throw it away in lieu of rewarding faithful customers with some discounts to say thank you. Get a grip Provident! There are other businesses out there selling gold and silver bullion which I have no problem procuring my coins from.
Don’t care much, but Provident will make a lot of money with the advertisement with the NASCAR crowd who tend to be conservative and don’t trust the Feds.
My thoughts exactly!
Now start accepting bitcoin and doge.
They now accept Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin.
Congrats to Provident Metals and Josh and team. Will be looking for a NASCAR 2014 silver coin set and possible silver bar.
This is awesome! Getting paid in silver & getting paid in dogecoins is bad to the bone. Phil Parsons is smart to accept any currency except dollars. Dollars. Ha! Who wants ’em anyway?
Good for Provident..Wish they would sponsor an NHRA PRO STOCK
machine OR MAYBE A FUNNY CAR
Great decision Provident Metals! Josh is a great guy, great with fans, and can have great runs with some help from sponsors! Can’t wait to see you two on the track together!
Can’t wait to see the Provident livery! Dogecoin was pretty epic. Tough act to follow.
Hope it goes well so we can see a Provident car in Las Vegas next year!
Excellent. This is great news. Love the underdogs! Congrats Phil and Josh!
The symbolic silver deposit was a great PR move. Look forward to seeing the paint scheme on the car.
Never thought I’d see the day that my favorite sport & favorite hobby would merge. Way to go Provident & #98 team.
I find Provident’s sponsorship an unexpected surprise. Considering the fact that they are so secretive about their ownership it make me wonder who showed up and signed the papers.
I see they finally found a way to spend all those Zombucks they didn’t sell. Seriously, good folks and a good product. Good luck with the racing.
Way to go provident and Josh Wise all the guys really work hard and deserve a good sponsor..Josh and the whole team are really liked and followed up here in CANADA.
Way to go provident metals!!! That’s a good sponsorsh.
Provident metals should get some licensing to use the NASCAR name to make the legends Of NASCAR coin series that would make a ton of money.
Congratulations. I’ll be looking for Josh on the podium.
DOGECOIN! I love josh wise! the reddit community and dogecoin community sponsored josh wise and it was because of us he won the fan vote. And we love Josh so much. He still wears his dogecoin hat in appreciation for what we did for him. I also Love silver!! i own a few zombucks myself. I couldn’t be happier about a silver dealer sponsoring josh wise. TO THE MOON FOR SILVER AND DOGECOIN!
I am excited to see diverse companies putting their name behind such an amazing team. You guys have made a Wise (pun intended) investment by choosing to sponsor PPR and the #98 car piloted by non other than Josh Wise.
I wish you all the best of luck and hope to see him knock out some great runs for you guys.
Congratulations Josh! All is Shibes will always support you! Next stop fan vote for driver of the year!
I am SUPER excited about this!! My favorite website teaming up with one of my favorite sports!! Awesome job Provident!
