Hunt Brothers Pizza will
expand its partnership with Stewart-Haas Racing to include a four-race
sponsorship of Kevin Harvick in the NASCAR XFINITY Series.
Hunt Brothers Pizza has been involved with SHR since 2014,
serving as an associate sponsor of Harvick and the No. 4 Monster Energy NASCAR
Cup Series team while also being the official pizza of SHR.
As SHR expands into the XFINITY Series for the first time
in 2017, Hunt Brothers Pizza will be the primary sponsor of Harvick’s No. 41
Ford Mustang April 8 at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, May 27 at Charlotte
(N.C.) Motor Speedway, July 7 at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta and Sept. 2 at
Darlington (S.C.) Raceway. Hunt Brothers Pizza will also serve as an associate
sponsor of SHR’s No. 00 Ford Mustang driven by XFINITY Series
rookie-of-the-year contender, Cole Custer.
“NASCAR has been a strong platform for Hunt Brothers Pizza
thanks to the roles Kevin Harvick and Stewart-Haas Racing have played in
representing our brand,” said Keith Solsvig, Vice President of Marketing for Hunt
Brothers Pizza. “NASCAR fans love to travel and visit convenience stores. We
want to continue to show our appreciation to our store partners and their
consumers. Having our own Hunt Brothers Pizza Ford Mustang on the racetrack
with a partner like Kevin is a great way to showcase how we constantly strive
for excellence.”
Prior to winning the 2014 NASCAR Cup Series championship,
Harvick won two XFINITY Series titles in 2001 and 2006. The 41-year-old from
Bakersfield, California, has 46 XFINITY Series wins to augment his 35 NASCAR
Cup Series victories.
“I’ve always enjoy competing in the XFINITY Series,”
Harvick said. “With Stewart-Haas Racing starting a new program, I’m excited to
be a part of the building process, because it will make us stronger going
forward as a company. I’m proud to continue working with Hunt Brothers Pizza
and seeing their colors on my Ford Mustang.”
Dave, with your knowledge, insight, and expertise, in everything that is Nascar, why post what is basically a PR statement. We can find this on any run of the mill news outlets. Thought the purpose of a blog was to provide personal perspective and tid-bits not found anywhere else.... Tell us something on your thoughts on Greg Biffle, did he play musical chairs and lose. That's the type of stuff we want to read. Thanks
ReplyDeleteWell, "Unknown," since it's my blog, I write and publish what I want. The vast majority of readers seem to appreciate being kept up to speed on off-season announcements like this. If you feel strongly that a blog should be something different, I have good news. You can write your own!
