The Milwaukee Mile and Car-X Forge Promotional Partnership

NASCAR Race Tickets Key Component In Extensive Marketing Campaign


 


MILWAUKEE, Wis. (April 9, 2008) – Sports fans who race into Car-X for their next auto repair or scheduled maintenance could be driving away with Milwaukee Mile NASCAR race tickets, it was announced today by the speedway.


 


This mutually-beneficial promotional partnership is anchored by an extensive, multi-media marketing campaign targeting automotive consumers in the greater Milwaukee area, with CarX promoting a race ticket offer with purchase to the Friday night, June 20 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at The Milwaukee Mile.


 


In addition to the attractive NASCAR race ticket component, Car-X will receive the benefit of at-track exposure and visibility in a number of areas, including signage reaching over thousands of race fans attending the June 20 & 21 NASCAR events, during The Mile’s May 31 – June 1 ABC Supply / A.J. Foyt 225 IndyCar Series race weekend, and during the speedway’s August 22-24 Governor’s Cup weekend.


 


This Car-X marketing campaign is tentatively scheduled to begin April 28.  Official details will be available at any of the 13 Car-X Auto Service locations in the greater Milwaukee area.
