According to Business Wire, FRE® Nicotine Pouches announced a partnership with Taylor Reimer Racing, serving as the Official Nicotine Sponsor across four marquee races in the 2026 ARCA Menards Series, and supporting driver Taylor Reimer  as she competes in high-intensity race environments.

 

Under the partnership, FRE committed to serving as the primary sponsor across four race weekends: April 25 at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, June 20 at Berlin Raceway in Michigan, June 27 at Elko Speedway in Minnesota, and October 17 at Phoenix Raceway in Arizona. During these race weekends, FRE branding will appear on Reimer’s race car, driver suit, and helmet.

 

FRE said its products are designed for those who want to push boundaries, featuring “precision nicotine” to support performance in moments that count. FRE said the partnership with Reimer reflects its belief in “owning your edge,” a mindset rooted in preparation, confidence, and control—whether on the track or in everyday high-performance moments.

 

The report said the collaboration will extend off the track through integrated content, appearances, and storytelling that highlight what performance looks like beyond race day, including preparation, recovery, and the mental edge required to compete under pressure. It also noted that the partnership aligns with FRE’s broader mission for adult consumers, positioning nicotine as a deliberate, controllable, forward-momentum choice.

 

FRE nicotine pouches are available in strengths ranging from 3mg to 15mg, and come in a 20-count tin and a 100-count “mega pouch.” FRE is made and distributed by Turning Point Brands (NYSE: TPB).
