Hornish To Fly Nature Blast, SafeZorb Colors in D500

Two national brands announced today that they will join Richard Petty Motorsports, Sam Hornish, Jr. and the No. 9 Ford Performance team for the Daytona 500. Nature Blast and SafeZorb will serve as associate sponsors on the No. 9 and support Hornish as he looks to become only the third driver to win both the Indianapolis 500 and the Daytona 500.

The Nature Blast line of cleaning supplies includes more than five different products for home and professional use; all made in America and committed to protecting the planet.

"The Petty family, Sam and Nature Blast all believe in family values," commented Daniella Perkins, vice president product development, Nature Blast, Inc. "It's natural for our company to partner with the No. 9 team at the 'Great American Race' in Daytona and be a part of potential history with Sam. It's a great way for us to spread our message about our cleaning products."

SafeZorb is an all-purpose absorbent made with a high quality blend of minerals that will absorb any hydrocarbon, petro-chemical or hazardous material except hydrofluoric acid. The product is also hydrophilic and does not break down in water or aqueous solvents or lubricants.

SafeZorb is easy to use, environmentally friendly and safe for both humans and animals. It is an all-natural, green solution that enhances safety in the workplace and is not hazardous to the environment. This will be their first time in the Daytona 500.

"When you have an opportunity to partner with Petty at Daytona, you take it," said Scott Sherrill, vice president of StormZorb. "We have a product that is used within motorsports and helps teams be environmentally friendly at the track. It's a winning combination and nobody has won more at Daytona than Petty. We just want to help Sam and the No. 9 team continue the tradition."

Hornish will be making his RPM debut at the Daytona 500. The winner of the 2006 Indianapolis 500, he is looking to join legends A.J. Foyt and Mario Andretti as the only two drivers to have won America's most popular auto racing events.
