Harvick Announces Long-Term, Multi-Season Sponsorship Agreements
Returning to KHI for their fourth and fifth years, Rheem will serve as the primary sponsor of the No. 33 KHI Chevrolet for 22 races throughout each season.
"We're very excited to have Rheem continue its program with KHI and the No. 33 car in the Nationwide Series for the 2011 and 2012 seasons," said KHI team co-owner Kevin Harvick. "Over the last three years, we've watched Rheem increasingly move up their involvement from a few races to now being a major player in the Nationwide Series and one of KHI's most reliable and most active partners. To have participated in their growth and to see them bring new partners into the mix is very exciting."
Fans will not only see two-time Nationwide Series champion Harvick pilot the No. 33 Rheem Chevrolet, but also a variety of RCR drivers will join him throughout the season. Clint Bowyer will debut a new edition of the classic red and black Rheem paint scheme at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway on February 19, 2011. Having recently announced an alliance with RCR for the Nationwide Series program, the driver line-up for the No. 33 KHI Rheem car is a key example of the important synergies and cooperation among the two companies.
JR Jones, Rheem Chief Executive Officer said, "Rheem's worldwide reputation for quality, reliability, innovation and outstanding service is supported by the business partners we have. We carefully choose our associates based on their equal dedication to performance excellence and their ability to consistently deliver reliable results to customers. Our long association with Kevin and DeLana Harvick and the entire KHI team is a perfect example of quality people and organizations coming together to form one great team."
