On Saturday, Richard Petty Motorsports announced that Go Bowling and Strike Ten Entertainment will partner with Brian Scott, driver of the No. 44 Ford Fusion, for the Go Bowling 400, a night race at Kansas Speedway on May 7, 2016.
It will be a one race primary sponsorship and therefore, the Go Bowling.com logo will be on the hood of the No. 44 Ford Fusion for the duration of the race weekend at Kansas. Go Bowling has been a partner with Richard Petty Motorsports since 2013 and has previously been featured on the No. 43 Ford Fusion, driven by Aric Almirola.
“We’re really excited to have Go Bowling back as a partner for the No. 44 car during Kansas Speedway race weekend,” said Brian Moffitt, CEO of Richard Petty Motorsports. “In addition to their activation throughout the racetrack, we are thrilled to give them an on-track presence for 400 miles. Bowling is a sport that is special to both Richard Petty and Brian Scott and to be able to have that representation on the car in the Kansas race will be fun for all.”
Bowling and racing have been tied together since the 1990’s when NASCAR bowling leagues were launched and were immediately a huge hit at bowling alleys across the century. Go Bowling and Strike Ten Entertaining has since then increased its involvement in racing from sponsoring races to engaging with drivers and teams.
“We are proud to be associated with Richard Petty Motorsports and rising star Brian Scott,” said John Harbuck, President of Strike Ten Entertainment. “There is a natural fit between one of America’s largest spectator sports, NASCAR racing, and the largest participatory sport, bowling. Both have a unique appeal and attract fans who like to have a great time with family and friends.”
67 million people head to the lanes a year and bowling alleys host several social events in the communities they are located in like birthday parties, competitive leagues and charitable fundraisers. Strike Ten Entertainment will also be partnering with Petty Family Foundation to host a charity bowling even in Indianapolis in July as a part of their agreement. The event will benefit Brandywine Creek Farms which is a non-profit organization that donates half a million pounds of food each year to needy families in Indianapolis. The event will be held on Friday, July 22 from 7:00- 9:00 pm at a bowling alley in Indianapolis. For more information check out www.pettyfamilyfoundation.org
“NASCAR legend Richard Petty, and the Petty Family Foundation are excited to announce that we are partnering with Go Bowling, Strike Ten, and Bowling Proprietors, in a campaign to raise money for the fight against hunger with Brandywine Creek Farms,” Shannon Newman, Director of Petty Family Foundation, said. “This campaign to fight hunger is fully consistent with our mission at the Petty Family Foundation, which is to seek a positive change for those in need by inspiring communities to enrich the lives of their residents, and by providing the means necessary to empower individuals, organizations, and agencies who help make dreams come true for others.”
