Lucas Oil Named Official Presenting Sponsor of International Touring; Australia Run Set to Kick Off Next Chapter
INDIANAPOLIS (April 1, 2026) – Building on a successful partnership rooted in shared passion and performance, Lucas Oil and rising country powerhouse Chase Matthew have officially announced a multi-year extension of their collaboration through the end of 2027.
As part of the expanded agreement, Lucas Oil will continue delivering exclusive fan-facing content and experiences across the U.S., while also stepping into a major new role globally — serving as the official presenting sponsor powering Chase Matthew’s international touring through 2027.
“This partnership has always felt natural — it’s real, it’s hands-on, and it reflects who I am offstage just as much as on it,” said Matthew. “To now take Lucas Oil with us around the world is a huge step, and I’m excited for fans everywhere to see how this brand shows up on the road.”
To kick off this next chapter, Matthew and Lucas Oil are heading to Australia for a special run of high-energy performances, bringing fans an immersive experience that blends live music with exclusive Lucas giveaways and behind-the-scenes content showcasing the brand in action abroad.
“From day one, this partnership has been about authenticity and Chase absolutely lives the lifestyle our brand represents,” said Katie Lucas, President of Lucas Oil. “His music and genuine passion for automotive culture are undeniable, and that connection continues to resonate with fans. We are excited to build on that momentum as part of his international tour, showing up bigger, louder and more connected than ever, and bringing the Lucas Oil brand to new audiences alongside Chase on the world stage.”

First announced in 2024, the partnership between Matthew and Lucas Oil was built on a genuine connection — from his background as a mechanic to his lifelong passion for vehicles and the lifestyle surrounding them.
Since then, the collaboration has grown alongside Matthew’s rapid rise, with the artist now boasting more than 1.7 BILLION global streams, touting a multi-week No.1 smash with “Darlin’” and building a fiercely loyal fanbase driven by his country-or-nothing ethos, electrifying live shows, and unmistakable vocal edge.
With his current single, “Holdin’ It Down” climbing the country radio charts and a highly anticipated next album expected this summer, Matthew continues to expand his reach — now taking both his sound and the Lucas Oil brand to a global audience.
