(Aug. 14, 2025) – Nu Way Concrete Forms, in celebration of the St. Louis-based company’s 70?? anniversary, will serve as title sponsor for the NASCAR Xfinity Series race on Saturday, Sept. 6, at World Wide Technology Raceway.
In addition to Nu Way in the entitlement role, St. Louis’ award-winning barbeque company Blues Hog will serve as the presenting sponsor.
The 160-lap, 200-mile event, which will be the Xfinity Series’ regular-season finale, will be branded as the Nu Way 200 Sauced by Blues Hog. The race, which marks the Xfinity Series return to the St. Louis Metro East facility for the first time in 15 years, will be broadcast live on The CW Network and MRN Radio beginning at 6:30 p.m. CT.
“We are excited to bring on both Nu Way and Blues Hog for the Nu Way 200 Sauced by Blues Hog NASCAR Xfinity Series race,” WWT Raceway Executive Vice President and General Manager Chris Blair said. “Bringing on two local powerhouses in the St. Louis area shows just how much the support of the community helps build these national events.”
Both local companies have built strong reputations in their respective industries and have made significant contributions to the St. Louis area. Nu Way has become a staple in the St. Louis region construction industry through the production and manufacturing of supplies and equipment.
"We are thrilled to be the title sponsor for the Xfinity Series race at World Wide Technology Raceway this year! This event holds special significance as it marks Xfinity's return to WWTR after
15 years, and it perfectly coincides with Nu Way's 70th anniversary,” Nu Way Director of Sales Mike Townsend said. “We extend our sincere gratitude to our customers for your continued business and loyalty, and we also want to thank WWTR for being a valued and trusted partner."
Blues Hog will be bringing a new flavor to the Madison, Ill.-based venue during the NASCAR race weekend. Founded in the 1980s, the company has grown into an award-winning barbeque operation, earning national recognition for its sauces and seasonings.
“Blues Hog is excited to bring our bold flavors to the WWT Raceway! Looking forward to providing a fun and tasty experience at the track this year,” Blues Hog owner Tim Scheer said. “Stay Saucy, race fans!”
The Nu Way 200 Sauced by Blues Hog will be complemented by the Enjoy Illinois 300 NASCAR Cup Series Playoff race on Sunday, Sept. 7. The action-packed weekend also is full of entertainment and music as the Confluence Music Festival returns alongside the NASCAR action. The musical acts will be highlighted by a pre-race performance by rising country star Ella Langley and a post-race concert by award-winning country music artist Jon Pardi.

LOUIS, MO — April 21, 2025 – BioSpan Technologies, the Missouri-based leader in sustainable pavement preservation, today announced a strategic distribution partnership with Nu Way Concrete Forms, the prominent St. Louis-based supplier of construction equipment and materials. The new relationship expands access to BioSpan’s environmentally friendly products, including OptiSeal™ concrete pavement sealant, to major construction and infrastructure projects throughout the Midwest.
"Our new partnership with Nu Way makes it easier for construction companies to incorporate bio-based building products into mammoth infrastructure projects like the I-70 expansion,” said Lindsey Hermes, President and COO of BioSpan Technologies. “This is also good news for farmers, because we incorporate their soybean oil in our products to extend the life of pavement and maximize taxpayer dollars.”
While Nu Way will offer BioSpan’s full product lineup, including RePlay™, its flagship bio-based asphalt sealant, the first products coming onto the sales floor will be:
- OptiSeal™ Bio-based Penetrating Concrete Sealant, which significantly improves durability and moisture resistance, effectively protecting concrete surfaces from wear and extreme temperatures.
- C-New Concrete Cleaner & Degreaser, a biodegradable, high-performance solution that lifts stubborn stains, breaks down grease, and restores concrete to like-new condition—without the use of harsh chemicals or harmful solvents.
- B-New Brick Cleaner, which removes excess mortar from brick, stone or concrete surfaces using a non-alkaline, biodegradable formula.
- MG Degreaser, the powerful, fast acting, and biodegradable degreaser designed for industrial, commercial, and municipal applications.
Nu Way will promote BioSpan’s products through co-branded marketing materials, digital marketing, and signage at Nu Way locations.
Nu Way Concrete Forms, known for supplying high-quality concrete forms and construction tools since 1955, sees the partnership as a strategic alignment with growing industry demand for sustainable construction practices.
"Integrating OptiSeal and BioSpan’s industrial cleaning products into our offerings allows us to provide contractors with innovative, cutting-edge solutions that remove carbon while improving performance," said Nu Way President Daphne Rhomberg.
