PRECISIONWERX Signs As Primary Sponsor of Key Motorsports Chevrolet For NASCAR Nationwide Series Race At Michigan International Speedway
Mooresville, NC (June 12, 2011) PRECISIONWERX will appear as primary sponsor of the No. 40 Key Motorsports Chevrolet driven by Charles Lewandoski in Saturday’s 250-mile NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Michigan International Speedway. The Michigan-based machine shop specializes in rapid manufacturing with worldwide distribution and has a long history in the racing industry.
“Our military customers appreciate the precision expertise we gained through our racing heritage and our racing customers recognize the diligence demanded by our military programs,” a company spokesperson explained. “PRECISIONWERX’s experience with developing and machining high performance racing products seemed like a natural fit with the Key Motorsports race team.. when the opportunity arose to sponsor the #40 Chevy Impala SS, we had to take it. We are very excited about our sponsorship of the Key Motorsports race team and the opportunity it provides, to introduce our capabilities to the NASCAR community.”
Twenty-six year old Charles Lewandoski recently joined the Key Motorsports team and will pilot the PRECISIONWERX Chevrolet in Saturday’s race. The Stafford Springs, Connecticut native earned a top-25 finish at Chicagoland and is ready to tackle the two-mile D-shaped oval situated in the Irish Hills of Michigan.
“I am grateful to be partnered with PRECISIONWERX for the race in Michigan this weekend,” said Lewandoski. “They are a great company that cares about the work they produce and our team is looking forward to doing a good job for them on Saturday. We have a great car for the race I appreciate Gary (Showalter, Key Motorsports crew chief) and everybody at the shop working so hard on it.”
Showalter says this past weekend’s break on the grueling 2011 Nationwide Series schedule allowed for additional preparation for Michigan.
“Having the weekend off from the track gave us some extra time at the shop,” offered Showalter. “This is good car we are taking to Michigan it’s one we have done well with. Charles likes the car and he has a lot of determination to do well so we should be in good shape. We want to thank PRECISIONWERX for being on board with us this weekend we appreciate the opportunity to represent them in Michigan.”
Saturday’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race will be broadcast live on ABC from Michigan International Speedway at 3:00 p.m. ET.
