Stock Car Steel & Aluminum, Inc. Sponsors 08 Car at Track That Beats-up Bodies
Mooresville, NC (August 20, 2007) – In a tribute to Bristol Motor Speedway, the short-track famous for it’s exciting beating and banging, Stock Car Steel & Aluminum, a metal service center specializing in the NASCAR market, is sponsoring Jason White’s #08 NASCAR Busch series car. The sponsorship makes perfect sense; a Bristol race always means a lot of cautions and that always means a lot of sheet metal sales for the company on Mondays.
Larry McReynolds, a racing analyst on Fox Sports, says “Greg (Fornelli, the owner of SCSA) always jokes that his favorite words in NASCAR are when we yell ‘There’s trouble in turn 2!!!’ well, we tend to say those words a lot at Bristol. I would say that track is good for his business.”
The SCSA car will be piloted by driver Jason White. White drives for the Pennington Motorsports team and he currently competes in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, along with running a partial Busch Series schedule. White and SCSA will debut their car and paint scheme when practice starts Thursday at 1:00pm for Food City 250. The Food City 250 NASCAR Busch Series race will start at 8:00pm on Friday night, August 24 on ESPN 2.
“We’re pleased to sponsor Pennington Motorsports, a first-class race team,” said Greg Fornelli, President and CEO of Stock Car Steel and Aluminum and SRI – Supplies for Racing & Industry. “This sponsorship enables us to leverage our brand with a well-known team and race track.” Headquartered in Mooresville, NC, Stock Car Steel and Aluminum supplies every type of raw material a race team might need to build a race car, including carbon steel, aluminum, chrome moly, and stainless steel.
