Petty Adds BLUE-EMU Sponsorship

Richard Petty Motorsports announced today their newest partner, BLUE-EMU, the odorless, non-greasy and deep-penetrating topical emu oil formula that soothes muscles and joints.  

BLUE-EMU will be an associate sponsor of RPM with their logo appearing on the roof strip and the lower-rear quarter panel of the No. 9 Ford Fusion beginning this weekend at the Martinsville Speedway. The multi-year agreement will also integrate Richard Petty as a spokesperson for the brand. 

This will not be the first venture into sports marketing for BLUE-EMU, but it will be the first to combine two legendary and Hall of Fame sports figures, Johnny Bench and Richard Petty. Bench and Petty will be featured together in new television ads to debut in 2015 for BLUE-EMU. The company has already grown expediently with Bench and expects the same with their latest partnership with RPM and Petty. 

"Our group at Blue-Emu is truly excited about this opportunity to have Hall of Fame driver Richard Petty and his team on board with our brand," said Susan Gregory, President and COO of parent company NFI Consumer Products. "Johnny has exceeded our expectations for Blue-Emu in 2014, and having Richard Petty and his team join our group will allow us to reach a new demographic and inform them about how Blue Emu can soothe their joints and muscles." 

"I always stay with products that help," said Richard Petty, Co-Owner of Richard Petty Motorsports. "I am as busy as ever and BLUE-EMU will continue to keep me going. I can count on them for fast comfort after long days. We're going to trust them to always keep our crews in the race too and welcome them to our team."
