Domino’s Pizza to sponsor Waltrip at Michigan

Domino’s Pizza will make its first appearance as a primary Nextel Cup Series team sponsor of racing veteran, Michael Waltrip August 18-20 at Michigan International Speedway. Waltrip will be the first driver to compete in a Domino’s Pizza Nextel Cup car in NASCAR’s premier series when he takes the wheel of the #55 Domino’s Pizza vehicle next Friday [in practice and qualifying]. “We’re excited to see the Domino’s Pizza brand make its debut as a Nextel Cup Series primary team sponsor with Michael and the #55 team in the backyard of our world headquarters," said Ken Calwell, Domino’s Pizza executive vice president and chief marketing officer. As part of its 2006 motorsports program, Domino’s Pizza has been, and will continue to be an associate sponsor of Waltrip’s #55 Nextel Cup Series team. Waltrip previously carried the Domino’s Pizza banner as his primary sponsor of his #99 Busch Series team twice in 2005 and once in 2004. Domino’s partnerships extend to Michigan International Speedway, branded “MIS Delivered by Domino’s Pizza" and will feature fan entertainment, displays, signage, product sampling and guest hospitality throughout the race weekend.
