Nashville, TN - April 7, 2007 - The only West Virginia-based NASCAR race team, Revelocity Racing, enjoyed a Top 25 appearance at its debut NASCAR Busch Series race in Nashville, TN today. The team finished 22nd from a full field of 43 teams in the Pepsi 300 at the Nashville Superspeedway. Country music recording artist Julie Roberts served as a guest sponsor and guest Crew Chief for the #73 Ford Fusion.
"This was our first appearance and we are very pleased with this Top 25 finish," said Jason R. Hager, CEO, Revelocity Racing. "Brett Rowe did an outstanding job and we are looking forward to the rest of our season. We are very encouraged by today's results."
Rowe, a former ARCA champion and a West Virginia native drove the Imperial Bedding Company / FUZE Beverage / Julie Roberts Ford Fusion to its Top 25 finish. Rowe qualified in 37th place.
The Revelocity Racing team is committed to a 10-race schedule with the NASCAR Busch series for 2007. Today's race sponsors included the Imperial Bedding Company, FUZE Beverage, as well as guest sponsor and country-music recording artist, Julie Roberts.
"We are so grateful to all of our sponsors but especially to FUZE Beverage for graciously providing product for our entire team during this first race," Hager said.
Roberts attended a signing event for the team in addition to her duties as Grand Marshal for the Pepsi 300 race. Once the engines were started, Roberts took over duties as the honorary Crew Chief for the first several laps for the Revelocity Racing team. Roberts will repeat her duties as a guest sponsor for Revelocity Racing on June 9th at the Federated Auto Parts 300 at the Nashville Superspeedway.
