Edwards is very happy about the deal.
“I’m really proud to have Lumber Liquidators and Gillette on board as the primary sponsors of the No. 99 Ford at Loudon. Both organizations have deep ties in the New England area and it is truly an honor to represent a team like the Boston Red Sox that has so much respect and history. There is an obvious cross-over between the NASCAR fan base and Red Sox fans and I’m excited that Lumber Liquidators and Gillette have chosen me to represent them at New Hampshire International Speedway.”
Owner Jack Roush shared Edwards’ sentiments.
“We are excited to have Lumber Liquidators and Gillette sponsoring the No. 99 Ford Fusion and using the opportunity to promote their affiliation with the Boston Red Sox. It is our intention to be New England’s NASCAR team. We hope Red Sox fans watching the races in Loudon will support us with the same intensity as they do when watching the Red Sox”.
Tomorrow night at the ballpark will Roush Fenway Racing Day at Fenway Park presented by Gillette. There will be a NASCAR theme and exhibits throughout Fenway. All of the Roush Fenway stable of drivers will be honored before the game with the Texas Rangers. Carl Edwards and his car will also be on display outside Remdawg’s before the game as well.
