Aspen Dental
Becomes Title Sponsor of NASCAR Camping World Truck Series
ROSSBURG, Ohio (April 29, 2016) – A race that has made everyone smile
since its inception in 2013 has earned an appropriate new supporter.
Aspen Dental has signed on to become the title sponsor of the fourth
annual NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event July 20 at Eldora
Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.
The race will take place on a Wednesday night at the half-mile, clay
oval. The Camping World Truck Series is the only national NASCAR series
event contested on dirt, with the 150-lap feature broken into three
segments of 40 laps, 50 laps and 60 laps. Five qualifying heat races
set the 32-truck field, a nod to dirt-track tradition.
“During our five year partnership with Stewart-Haas Racing, we’ve
successfully ignited conversation and buzz about what is often an
overlooked healthcare issue – oral health,” said Bob Fontana, CEO of
Aspen Dental Management, Inc. “The Truck Series race at Eldora is a
unique event in NASCAR that generates plenty of buzz and conversation,
too. With 45 Aspen Dental-branded locations in Ohio alone and dozens
more throughout the Midwest, we’re excited that Aspen Dental will serve
as the title sponsor of this fan-favorite event.”
Aspen Dental is one of the largest and fastest-growing networks of
independent dental care providers in the United States, with nearly 550
locations across 33 states.
“Aspen Dental has leveraged its partnership with Stewart-Haas Racing
and Danica Patrick really well and this new role with Eldora Speedway
gives them another strong platform,” said Tony Stewart, three-time
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion and owner of Eldora Speedway. “The
Truck Series race at Eldora brings dirt-track fans and NASCAR fans
together under one roof. It’s unique to Eldora and it allows Aspen
Dental a unique opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of
oral health.”
Founded in 1954, Eldora Speedway has become the nation’s preeminent
dirt track. Before the facility welcomed the return of a national
NASCAR series to dirt for the first time in 42 years when the inaugural
Truck Series race took place in July 2013, Eldora hosted motorsports
icons synonymous with speed. A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti and Jeff Gordon
are just some of the names who competed at Eldora on their rise to
racing stardom. Now, the Truck Series race at Eldora ushers in a new
generation of talent looking to carve their place among the sport’s
deep, rich history.
“The Truck Series race at Eldora has become one of our most popular
events,” said Roger Slack, general manager, Eldora Speedway. “The
excitement in the stands and the buzz on social media, especially from
within the NASCAR industry, is incredible. We look forward to hosting
NASCAR’s only dirt race again in July.”
The Truck Series race at Eldora has become a destination event on the
NASCAR calendar. The list of past winners is a Who’s Who of future
talent: Austin Dillon (2013), Darrell Wallace Jr. (2014) and
Christopher Bell (2015). Who will add their name in 2016? Find out by
