GIR Announces Ventrilo as Presenting Sponsor of Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250

MADISON, Ill. – Gateway International Raceway is pleased to announce Ventrilo as the presenting sponsor of its NASCAR Nationwide Series race on July 18, now to be known as the Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250 Presented by Ventrilo.

Ventrilo, a product of Maryville, Ill.-based Flagship Industries and the premier group voice communications program used in internet-based tournaments and multiplayer games, is familiar with NASCAR as a primary sponsor for the #30 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series team of former GIR winner, Todd Bodine.

“We are thrilled to be a part of the NASCAR Nationwide Series event at Gateway International Raceway,” said Brian Knapp, president of Flagship Industries, Inc. “The Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250 Presented by Ventrilo gives us a great opportunity to market our product to an audience outside our traditional user base. We are also pleased to partner with a facility that is not only in our home state, but one where our Truck Series driver, Todd Bodine, has seen success and will hopefully do so again when he returns to Gateway in his Ventrilo-sponsored Truck Sept. 12.”

The Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250 Presented by Ventrilo at Gateway International Raceway is July 18 and will host the top stars of NASCAR, including Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick, and Justin Allgaier. For tickets, call 866-35-SPEED or visit GatewayRaceway.com.
