Petty team announces 1-race sponsor

Petty Enterprises announces today that the Richard Petty Driving Experience will be the primary sponsor of the No. 45 Dodge, driven by Chad McCumbee, for the upcoming race at the Texas Motor Speedway along with new partners, TheGPSStore.com and Garmin, the global leader in satellite navigation.

“Christmas shopping sneaks up on me every year," said ‘The King’ Richard Petty. “It seems like I’m always buying something at the last minute. This paint scheme will remind the fans that it’s never too early to start their shopping. For a true race fan there is no better gift than the Richard Petty Driving Experience."

TheGPSStore.com and Garmin are continuing their long-standing associations with McCumbee. The GPS Store.com, which is headquartered near McCumbee’s hometown of Supply, N.C., has been a primary sponsor of his past NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series entries from 2006-2007.

“We think Chad is an extremely talented driver who has proven himself at every level of competition," said Drew Reger, president of TheGPSStore.com. “Chad just missed getting his first truck win last year at Texas, so we are looking forward to returning there as his sponsors. We are very pleased to establish a relationship with an organization such as Petty Enterprises with its long standing tradition of excellence."
