Ryan Truex to Drive the No. 09 Grime Boss Toyota for RAB Racing at Texas

CONCORD, N.C. (April 10, 2012) – RAB Racing with Brack Maggard and two-time NASCAR K&N Pro Series East champion Ryan Truex will team up for this weekend’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Texas Motor Speedway.

Grime Boss, a division of Nice-Pak Products, Inc., will sponsor Truex as he pilots the No. 09 Grime Boss Toyota Camry in his first start at the 1.5-mile oval. The 20-year-old driver has compiled one top-five and six top-10 finishes in 26 NASCAR Nationwide Series starts.

“I can’t thank Grime Boss enough for supporting the development of my career,” said Truex. “We’re working hard to gain as much experience by running as many tracks as possible this year with the hopes of running a full Nationwide Series schedule in 2013. I appreciate RAB Racing for giving me the opportunity to get behind the wheel of their No. 09 Toyota. They’ve had strong cars every week, and I can’t wait to get to Texas.”

“Nice-Pak is solidly behind Ryan Truex and his Nationwide Series efforts,” said Tom Hernquist, President of Nice-Pak Products, Inc. “Our experience working with Ryan has been phenomenal. He’s been a great ambassador for our Grime Boss brand.”

Kenny Wallace, who drove the No. 09 Toyota Camry in the first five races of the 2012 season, will return to the team at Talladega Superspeedway next month.

DEARBORN, MI, (Apr. 10, 2012) – It may seem strange that on a race track where 43 cars can beat and bang on each other for the better part of three hours that the one thing nobody can see sometimes makes the most difference in who gets across the finish line first.

Yet that’s the case almost every week in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series as the air that gets buffeted around from stock cars whizzing around at close to 200 miles an hour provides grip and speed for the one in front while those stuck in the pack struggle to overcome its turbulent force.

That’s why when it came time to start designing the 2013 NASCAR Fusion stock car that will compete next season, aerodynamics was paramount to its development.

Break Out The Red, White And Blue! Patriotic Initiative To Highlight NASCAR Summer

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (April 9, 2012) — NASCAR announced today the launch of “NASCAR Unites – An American Salute,” a patriotic initiative uniting the NASCAR industry and fans this summer to celebrate America and support U.S. military families.

NASCAR Nation will be covered from head to toe – and from splitter to spoiler – in red, white and blue to highlight the summer season, starting and ending at two traditionally patriotic summer NASCAR events held at Charlotte Motor Speedway (Memorial Day Weekend, May 26-27) and Daytona International Speedway (Independence Day Weekend, July 5-7). Additional activities related to the six-week initiative will take place between these “tent-pole” events, including retail programs and other sponsor promotions.

To launch the initiative, the “NASCAR Unites – An American Salute” paint scheme for Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s No. 88 National Guard Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet was revealed today in the nation’s capital for more than 30,000 children and their guests attending the 134th Annual Easter Egg Roll event at the White House.

“The entire NASCAR community has a long history of recognizing the efforts of the men and women who serve in our country’s military,” said NASCAR President Mike Helton. “With this effort, we continue to rally the NASCAR industry to collectively express our gratitude to those who serve our country and their families. This program will reinforce our sport’s commitment to honoring the United States Military while also raising funds to help support military families.”

Teams in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, along with their partners and sponsors, will showcase support for the program in their own individual ways, from displaying the customized logo on their cars and trucks to developing red, white and blue paint schemes. In addition, NASCAR has provided teams with the option of running a specially designed, patriotic-themed package that would incorporate the spoiler as well as other areas of the car. Additional activities related to the platform will include retail programs and other sponsor promotions to be announced in the weeks leading into the Charlotte event weekend.
