“Bret is a young man that many within the First Bank of Alabama family have admired him for his skillset in growing as a driver, beginning his roots dirt racing, to becoming an ARCA (Menards Series) champion in 2020 and a top performer at
Talladega Superspeedway in the (NASCAR CRAFTSMAN) Truck Series,” said Chad Jones, President and CEO. “We believe this partnership is driven by our community commitment that our customers and shareholders expect from First Bank of Alabama, and we are proud to be a part of this weekend in our ‘backyard.’ Bret brings a special flair when he races at superspeedways, and I know he is hungry for that hometown win. We support his efforts to showcase not only his racing, but also our community bank brand in East Central Alabama.”

We can both represent our community at our home track, and that’s just really cool to me. They’re a great company to do business with and grow a relationship with.

Winning at Talladega this year would be storybook for all of us, and I hope we can be in the same position we were last year.”
