Hamilton, Ontario - The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are excited to announce a
brand new partnership with Dave Whitlock and Whitlock Motorsports of the
NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.
"Dave's car will be taking the Ticats brand coast-to-coast," said
Ticats President Scott Mitchell. "We're confident that the NASCAR Canadian
Tire series is going to be an overwhelming success and we're very excited
that the Ticats will be a part of it. We are looking forward to the
inaugural race this Saturday at Cayuga's famed 5/8 mile oval where team
Whitlock recorded a win in 2006 and will hopefully get off to a great start
this year and pickup where they left off."
The Ticats logo will be prominently featured on the rear quarter
panels, behind the wheel and across the back of the #39 Dickies/Hamilton
Tiger-Cats/NMT Dodge racecar. The logo is also embroidered on the front
upper chest of Whitlock's race suit and on all crew uniforms as well as on
the team's hauler, pit cart and other team equipment.
"We are very pleased to add the Canadian Football League's Hamilton
Tiger-Cats as a partner in 2007," stated team owner and driver Dave
Whitlock. "This is an exciting new relationship which will result in some
unique cross marketing opportunities and I look forward to a long term
partnership with the team. Fans of both sports will get an opportunity to
interact with each other as we bring the #39 race car to selected Ticats
home games and we in turn host the Ticats at selected NASCAR Canadian Tire
Series race events."
After finishing fourth in the CASCAR Championship point standings over
the past two seasons, with his first four Dodge seasons now in the record
books, a revised engine program this season has Whitlock clearly focused on
consistency in an effort to capture the first ever NASCAR Canadian Tire
Series Championship.
