KERNERSVILLE, N.C. (April 22, 2010) — Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI) announced today that Karl Chevrolet, the third largest Chevrolet dealership in the United States, has joined forces with four-time Truck Series champion Ron Hornaday to sponsor the No. 33 Chevrolet at Iowa Speedway on July 11th.
“I can’t wait to get back to Iowa Speedway,” said Hornaday. “Last year the No. 33 team really struggled to get a handle on the new track, but now we have track time and a new partner with Karl Chevrolet to go back and try to beat Mike Skinner, who dominated last year’s race. It’s really cool that we can bring on a local sponsor that everyone in the area knows and give them national attention. I’m honored that Karl Chevrolet has come on board the No. 33 for this event.”
Carl Moyer, Dealer Principle of Karl Chevrolet, is thrilled to have his dealership align with Hornaday and KHI.
“I’m excited to be partnering with Ron Hornaday and KHI for the truck race at Iowa Speedway,” said Moyer. “This opportunity enables us to create unique value for the Karl Chevrolet brand that we can share with our customers and race fans alike. The entire Karl Chevrolet team can’t wait for the No. 33 Karl Chevrolet Silverado race team to get on the track and be representative of so many great things, particularly the No.1 selling brand and vehicle in Iowa.”
KHI co-owner Kevin Harvick sees added value in the new association with Karl Chevrolet, a native Iowa company.
“We are excited to be able to bring Karl Chevrolet into the KHI family of partners,” said KHI co-owner Harvick. “The partnership with Ron and Karl Chevrolet gives the dealership the opportunity to build upon their relationship with consumers and gain national exposure. We look forward to the Iowa event.”
The Truck Series will return to Iowa Speedway on July 11th for the second time in the series’ 15-year history. Hornaday will join fans at Karl Chevrolet on Friday July 9th to sign autographs and be a part of their special fan festival.
