KEY MOTORSPORTS HUNGERS FOR WIN IN
BUBBA BURGER 250 AT HOME TRACK
Driver Mike Bliss is happily welcomed back to the seat of the #40 Westerman Companies Chevrolet for Key Motorsports at Richmond International Raceway this weekend. Predictions of clear weather and the driver's history at the track foretell another great finish to enrich Westerman's participation.
"The team is also pumped up over the addition of new uniforms and a new paint scheme beginning this weekend," team owner Curtis Key commented. "We've got a lot to take satisfaction in with our steady improvements this season."
Bliss contributes a successful record at Richmond to the program's efforts. The Oregon native has a Top-5 and 3 Top-10s at the track in the Nationwide Series as well as a top 5 and 2 Top-10s from his Camping World Truck Series record and another Top-5 in the Sprint Cup Series.
This season marks the fourth consecutive year Westerman Companies has backed the efforts of Key Motorsports in NASCAR racing. "Key Motorsports has represented our company well and we look forward to being at the track with them for eight Nationwide Series races this year," said a company spokesperson. The
program includes events later this year on Saturday, June 12th for the Meijer 300 at Kentucky Speedway; Friday, July 2nd for the Subway Jalapeno 250 Powered By Coca-Cola at Daytona International Speedway; Saturday, July 24th for the Kroger 200 Benefiting Riley Hospital For Children at O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis; Friday, August 20th for
the Food City 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway; Saturday, September 25th for the Dover 200 at Dover International Speedway; Friday, October 15th for the Dollar General 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway; and Saturday, November 20th for the season-ending Ford 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Associate sponsorship opportunities are still available for this weekend. The performance of the #40 Chevrolet in the spotlight for each race this year provides a bargain for any business whose market includes fans of motorsports activities.
