BOSS Announces New Marketing Partners for 2015
With opening day roughly two months away, the Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series has been hard at work securing the most impressive team of marketing partners the series has yet to see. On the strength of many returning premier heat race and bonus award sponsors, the series has acquired an equally impressive list of new business owners that are excited to join the fastest growing traditional sprint car series in the nation.
A tentative agreement has been reached with a new title sponsor and that announcement will hopefully become official in the next few weeks. Returning sponsors from last season covering bonus awards are Hochstetler Truck and Auto Repair of Ashland, Ohio who will sponsor the $50 bonus to the highest finishing steel block engine in the main event. Lynn Cook, a Racer's Friend from the Dayton area will return as the "Hard Luck Award" $50 sponsor at each event and the Bridge Restaurant of Sidney, Ohio is back as the main event $50 "Hard Charger" award. Lias Tire / American Racer returns as sponsor of heat race #2 at each event while also supplying a free tire to the highest finisher in the A-Main on all four American Racer tires.
New to the BOSS marketing team for 2015 is Cowen Truck Line of Perrysville, Ohio who will be providing the ever popular free beverage cooler for the teams. Design 500 Racing Safety Wear has committed to providing a new bonus award at each event. To commemorate Ohio legend Rusty McClure's career and dedication to BOSS, the 9th place finisher at each event will earn a $100 gift certificate toward the purchase of Design 500 equipment. This is a tribute to McClure's career in his car #09 that graced Ohio speedways for many years. The "Lucky Pill Draw" will also return and a new bonus award called the "Perseverance Award" has been added with sponsors yet to be named. The Perseverance Award will be $50 to the driver with the worst heat race pill draw who still makes the main event.
The new sponsor of heat race #1 at each and every BOSS event for 2015 will be MOOSE RACING / HUNTINGTON BEACH GLASS out of Huntington Beach, California. Moose Racing campaigns a sprint car on the west coast and may make a few Midwest appearances in July with their driver Jake Swanson. Moose Racing's support of the BOSS series stems from their relationship with their former driver, Rusty McClure. Rusty is an active supporter of the BOSS series - and Moose Racing's sponsorship is their way of honoring their former driver. As stated earlier, Lias Tire / American Racer returns as heat #2 sponsor. Now for heat #3 BOSS welcomes Hoosier Race Tire who will also continue to provide a free tire to the highest finisher on all four Hoosier Racing Tires in each main event. Watch for an announcement soon on heat race #4.
Individual heat race sponsors and contingency sponsors also include: Kistler Engines of Fremont, Ohio, FAST Signs of Dayton, Ohio, Precise Racing of Sarver, Pennsylvania, McMillin Apiaries of Wampum, Pennsylvania, Rod End Supply of Olathe, Kansas, Southeast Harley Davidson of Cleveland, Ohio, S&H Nerfs of Piqua, Ohio, Diversified Machine (DMI) of Lancaster, PA, and Indy Race Parts of Indianapolis, Indiana.
More exciting announcements are coming in the next few weeks. The drivers roster will begin to be announced with two to three drivers profiles released at a time. More than 15 drivers have indicated that they plan to chase the championship in 2015.
