“Ryan has shown that he
is not only an incredible race car driver, but also someone with great
integrity and class,” said Jay Farner, President and Chief Marketing Officer of
Quicken Loans. “The way Ryan has handled some very tough situations this year,
while also continuing to ignore the noise and perform at a high-level, made our
decision to stick with him a no-brainer. He embodies what we stand for each and
every day.”
“Quicken Loans has been
an integral member of my team and I am very excited to have them join me at
Richard Childress Racing, as we continue to build on what has been a fantastic
partnership,” Newman said. “My relationship with Quicken Loans goes beyond
driving their car. I’ve gotten to know them and their business, becoming
friends with them in the process. As they know, I will do my very best to
perform on and off the track next year and well beyond.”
Since joining the sport,
Quicken Loans has become active in both NASCAR and IndyCar racing. In addition
to its sponsorship of Newman, the company is also title sponsor of the Quicken
Loans 400 Sprint Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway and an
associate sponsor of Team Penske IndyCar drivers Helio Castroneves and Will
Power.
“It’s great to have a
partner like Quicken Loans join the family of RCR partners beginning in 2014 as
we’ve watched them establish a strong program in our sport over the past two
years ,” said Richard Childress, president and CEO of RCR. “They run an
exceptional mortgage business with a constant eye on technology and service,
much like our race organization. In addition to the relationship they’ve built
with Ryan, it’s important for them to also build strong business relationships
with RCR and our partners.”
Quicken Loans will remain
as the primary sponsor of Newman’s No. 39 Chevrolet fielded by Stewart-Haas
Racing for the remainder of the 2013 Sprint Cup Series season. Newman currently
sits ninth in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.
“We are looking forward
to an exciting end of the 2013 season, and Ryan’s run for the Sprint Cup
championship. We’d also like to thank our partners at Stewart-Haas Racing.
They’ve been instrumental in our success in the sport, and we thank them for
sharing their expertise with us,” Farner added.
Good things will happen for nice guys. I refer to Ryan, notsumuch Quicken. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat is great news. They know they have a great driver to advertise for them.
ReplyDeleteWow, sponsor loyalty to a good, honest and hard working driver instead of a team? Now there is a unusual concept. I wonder if NAPA understands that? I guess not.
