LATICRETE International, Inc. has announced its sponsorship of
the 2nd Annual LATICRETE Modified Thunder 150, slated for May 10 at All-Star
Speedway in southern New Hampshire. The first of a new four race series, called
the All-Star Modified Showdown, will be the only series featuring many of the
best NASCAR Whelen Modified Series race teams against the best of the True
Value Modified Series, at a NASCAR sanctioned track.
Over the years, LATICRETE has
proudly provided sponsorship support to various employees, and even their
customers that are racing enthusiasts outside of their normal jobs in the tile
industry.
"From tractor pulling to
regional NASCAR support, racing is an exciting opportunity for us to support
those people that support us. Plus, it's really an exciting sport that allows
us to get our name in front of a lot of great fans," commented Maria
Oliveira, Corporate Marketing Manager at LATICRETE. "We are very excited
to move to a larger sponsorship this year at All-Star Speedway, and are looking
forward to growing it next year and beyond.”
Several of the most talented Modified drivers have
expressed their intentions to compete in this event. Andy Seuss will represent
the Whelen Southern Tour with his own car. Ted Christopher, Eric Beers, Rob
Summers, Kirk Alexander, Les Hinckley, Jack Bateman, Louie Mechalides, Todd
Patnode, Bruce Batchelder and Jon McKennedy are among those that have already
stated their intentions to compete in the May 10 event.
The 150-lap race will pay $5,000 to
the winner. Lap money will be added, as laps will be sold at $50 per lap,
starting on February 29 at the Sunoco Speedway EXPO 2008, All-Star Speedway
booth. Laps may be purchased after March 2nd by contacting the speedway. There
will also be a sponsored halfway bonus for the leader at the lap 75 break. A
point fund for the four race series will add an additional $20,000 in payouts
as well.
