Richard Petty
Motorsports and Strike Ten Entertainment have announced the launch of a new
partnership that features GoBowling.com as a primary sponsor of the No. 43 Ford
Fusion driven by Aric Almirola.
The official unveiling
of the No. 43 GoBowling.com Ford Fusion took place earlier today, with Richard
Petty giving attendees of the International Bowling Expo a first look at the car,
while also posing for photos and signing autographs. Later this summer, the car
will make its on-track debut at the GoBowling.com 400 on August 4 at the Pocono
Raceway in Pennsylvania.
"There is no better
way to add to the excitement of International Bowl Expo than to celebrate the
launch of our partnership with Richard Petty Motorsports and the No. 43 race
team," said Frank DeSocio, President of Strike Ten Entertainment.
"There are very few athletes in the world who have the iconic stature as
"The King" Richard Petty. He, like bowling, is known in every corner
of the world. Richard and Aric will be great ambassadors for the sport and all
our bowling centers across the country."
"Just like racing,
bowling is pure Americana," said Petty. “It's our nation at its best, a
sport that brings people together and creates memories. Not to mention bowling
is a lot of fun. I couldn't be more proud to partner with GoBowling.com - and
there's no better stage than International Bowl Expo."
Almirola agrees that
this is a natural partnership.
"This is really a
great partnership for our race team and an incredible brand association with
GoBowling.com,” he said. “You literally can't get any bigger than bowling, it's
the nation's number one participatory sport. In racing, we're all about results
and more than 71 million people go bowling every year. We don't always have
free time between races but when we do, our team is always looking for fun
activities and ways to relax. Going bowling is something that is easy,
affordable and enjoyable for us all. We're better at racing than bowling, but
we all have fun when we go bowling. I'm glad that we can be a part of promoting
such a great experience to our race fans."
GoBowling.com is the
website to visit to learn more about the 2,100+ bowling centers around the
country. Fans can learn about their local bowling centers, promotional offers,
bowling tips and more. Currently, GoBowling.com is running a national promotion
for one lucky race fan to wave the green flag to start their NASCAR Sprint Cup
event on August 4. This partnership with RPM is their first with a team and
driver.
