Official ARCA Statement.
TOLEDO, Ohio (May 14, 2016) – Officials from the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) and Herr Foods Inc. announced today that the Pennsylvania-based snack food producer will continue its sponsorship and marketing program within the 2016 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards.
Herr’s has agreed to extend its “Official Snack Food of ARCA” sponsorship program, and will once again be the title sponsor of the Herr’s Potato Chips 200 ARCA Racing Series event at Winchester (Ind.) Speedway.
“This motorsports sponsorship program is a direct result of the business-to-business relationship between Herr Foods and Menards,” said Mark Gundrum, Vice President of Business Development and Corporate Partnerships for ARCA. “The end result is increased business and product sales for Herr’s.”
The Herr’s Potato Chips 200 will once again headline the season-opening weekend of racing at Winchester Speedway June 25-26. The event is scheduled for live broadcast on the American Sports Network.
Race fans will have the opportunity to “Save Big Money” on tickets to the Herr’s sponsored event at Winchester, as Menards Stores will sell advance tickets at substantial discounts.
“Herr’s and Menards have become very important strategic marketing partners, not only for Winchester Speedway, but for the entire ARCA Racing Series,” Gundrum continued. “Herr’s involvement with the tour and our presenting sponsor positions them as a very important marketing partner for ARCA.”
The American Sports Network is the latest television partner for the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards. The network is scheduled to broadcast nine ARCA races this summer, including five live broadcasts.
