HGW signed a sponsorship agreement today with ARCA as one of their Series Sponsors, providing my yellow Hummer as their Official Courtesy Vehicle--it will transport people to and from various places to the Garage Area in 23 races across the US this year, including Daytona, Pocono, Michigan International, and Talladega.
HGW will be in the Garage at Daytona next week for the ARCA 200 and also for the Budweiser Shoot Out--both live on SPEED CHANNEL.
At the green , there will 65K people in the stands, rising to 90K for the Shoot Out. Almost every NEXTEL driver will be in the Garage with their cars getting ready for the Shoot Out.

My Hummer will be on hand for the Shoot Out as well.
I have also sponsored an ARCA car driven by Billy Venturini, Car 25, ARCA. He was hurt badly at last years ARCA 200 so I should get some TV time or press from that sponsorship. HGW will be on the two rear quarterpanels of his car.
Hopefully Earnheart, Jr and Stewart will stop over to the HGW truck as they both are Hummer entusiasts--25% chance in my opinion--they are busy in the Garage area.
This opportunity for HGW is quite large and I am grateful for the opportunity to support such champions.
The HGW Girls will not be at Daytona but will be at Pocono and other races. I will have an event schedule up on my site after Daytona.
Now--send some work to the HGW GARAGE so I can pay for this deal!
