MOORESVILLE, N.C. (September 2, 2015) – Team Penske and The LASIK Vision Institute announced a new partnership today that will see the company serve as the Official Eye Care Provider of Team Penske.

The LASIK Vision Institute plans to utilize its Team Penske relationship off the track as well by incorporating an extensive business-to-business program that will feature a customized corporate plan for other Penske partners. The company will also schedule appearances with 2015 Daytona 500 champion Joey Logano and 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Brad Keselowski to help grow and maximize its presence at the racetrack this season.
“We are pleased to be able to partner with The LASIK Vision Institute and provide a unique opportunity with our race team and Team Penske partners,” said Team Penske Vice President of Marketing and Communications, Jonathan Gibson. “The LASIK Vision Institute wants to not only build its brand by featuring its logo on Team Penske cars, but they also want to work with our other partners to give them specific, custom built opportunities to enjoy the life changing benefits of LASIK. The LASIK Vision Institute is an outstanding company and we’re very excited about this partnership.”
