NASHVILLE – State Water Heaters, in conjunction with Baker Curb Racing, has pledged to donate $5,000 to the American Red Cross to assist in tornado relief efforts as part of the NASCAR Nationwide Series Relief Fund Team Challenge. The NASCAR Nationwide Series Relief Fund Team Challenge is taking place this week at Nashville Super Speedway and is a competition between crews to see who can make the largest donation to the Nashville Chapter of the American Red Cross. The winning crew will receive recognition from ESPN 2 during the pre-race coverage of Saturday’s Federated Auto Parts 300.
“State Water Heaters is pleased to give to such a wonderful cause, said David Chisolm, State Water Heaters Brand Manager. “As a local company who has connections with many of the impacted families, we are privileged to take part in this effort. Our thanks go out to the NASCAR Nationwide Series Relief Fund Team for spearheading this program.”
State Water Heaters will also make their debut as a primary sponsor on Jason Keller’s No. 27 Ford Fusion in Saturday’s race. In January, State Water Heaters and Baker Curb Racing announced a sponsorship arrangement for the 2009 NASCAR Nationwide Series. This sponsorship marks State’s fourth consecutive year as a NASCAR team sponsor. Last year, State was the primary sponsor of the Haas CNC Racing Chevrolet driven by Scott Riggs in the Sprint Cup Series.
