Eastern Bank announced it’s sponsoring a car at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway. 

Rising and local NASCAR talent Blake Lothian returned to the New Hampshire Motor Speedway – where he first fell in love with racing as a 7-year-old – to compete in last month’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.  

Lothian attended his first NASCAR race at the track as a young fan, and now, at just 23, he’s driving the No. 22 Eastern Bank F-150 for Reaume Brothers Racing at the same venue.  

In its announcement, Eastern Bank said it “is proud to support Blake as he chases his dream and return in New Hampshire, while also serving as a role model for school children about the importance of striving for success in the classroom and in sports.” 

Lothian and his racing truck appeared at Eastern Bank’s Concord branch to meet fans, sign autographs and get up close with his NASCAR-style Eastern Bank-branded race truck, the bank said.
