VENTRILO SPONSORS NO.
15 CAMRY AT GATEWAY
Mooresville,
N.C. – July 15, 2009 – Ventrilo, a product of Flagship Industries and the
premier group voice communications program used in internet-based tournaments
and multiplayer games, announced last week that they will be the presenting
sponsor for the Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250 presented by Ventrilo at
Gateway International Raceway on July 18, 2009. To complement the
presenting race sponsorship, Ventrilo is proud to announce the sponsorship of
Germain Racing’s No. 15 Ventrilo Camry which will be driven by Michael Annett
in Saturday night’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race. This will be the second time
Ventrilo has been on board the No. 15 Ventrilo Camry this season; the first was
at Daytona International Speedway (Daytona Beach, FL) on July 3, 2009.
“As
a long time race fan, I’m excited to expand our continuing partnership with
Germain Racing,” said Brian Knapp, president, Flagship Industries. “This
is the perfect avenue to expand awareness of the Ventrilo brand beyond the
traditional user in the online computer gaming industry.”
This
spring, Ventrilo embarked on a growing NASCAR sponsorship program. The St.
Louis area-based company announced sponsorship of Germain Racing’s No. 30
Ventrilo Tundra driven by Todd Bodine for three NASCAR Camping World Truck
Series races – Kansas Speedway (Kansas City, KS), Bristol Motor Speedway
(Bristol, TN) and Gateway International Raceway. Since the announcement in
April, Ventrilo has added sponsorship of the No. 30 Ventrilo Tundra at O’Reilly
Raceway Park (Indianapolis , IN), the No. 15 Ventrilo Camry at Daytona and
presenting sponsorship of the NASCAR Nationwide Series at Gateway to the
company’s expanding sponsorship program.
“Watching
Brian Knapp grow more and more excited about the branding opportunities
available to Ventrilo with Germain Racing has been a great pleasure. We
kicked off our relationship with Ventrilo in the Truck Series at Kansas
Speedway, and we enjoyed giving them a great race at Daytona with the No. 15
Ventrilo Camry. Everyone at Germain Racing is looking forward to running
the Ventrilo Camry at Gateway, a track where our team has a strong record of
success,” said Mike Hillman Sr., general manager of Germain Racing and crew
chief for Iowa-native Michael Annett and the No. 15 Ventrilo Camry.
Ventrilo
Camry driver Michael Annett is in his rookie year driving in NASCAR’s
second-highest division. Annett has earned wins in the ARCA RE/MAX Series and
has enjoyed some very strong runs in the No. 15 Camry this season.
“It
was a great opportunity to have Ventrilo as a sponsor on the hood of our No. 15
Toyota Camry at Daytona, and I’m looking forward to having their support this
weekend at Gateway as well,” said Annett. “As a competitor in the Nationwide
Series, it’s always exciting to have the involvement of a new sponsor in our
division, both on our No. 15 Ventrilo Camry and as a presenting sponsor of the
race. With the Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250 presented by Ventrilo being
a non-companion Nationwide Series event, this should really give Ventrilo and
our No. 15 Germain Racing team a chance to shine.”
Look

night, July 18, 2009. Tune in to ESPN 2 at 9:30 PM Eastern to see the action.
Ventrilo
