LAS VEGAS (Jan. 18, 2013) — Zero One Racing, a division of Zero One Odysseys, has signed an exclusive partnership with the General Tire Mint 400 as the official "Arrive & Race Team."
"This is the perfect way for the average adrenaline junkie to come out and rent a race vehicle, be a part of The Great American Off-Road Race and have the experience of a lifetime!" said Matt Martelli, owner of the Mint 400. "Zero One does a great job of getting the any race-inspired person up to speed so they can come and have a great time and be competitive."
David Whitehead of Zero One said experiencing the company's Nevada Great Basin off-road tour is an "epic adventure" but that "racing in the General Tire Mint 400 takes it to a whole new level."
"Most people spend years and hundreds of thousands of dollars getting to race The Mint," he said. "Our 'arrive and race' program makes it easy, safe and lets our clients concentrate on the parts that matter to them—driving, parties and winning—in whatever order they decide. Our drivers have fun, we handle the stress."
Zero One said it is having a contest to win a three-day Zero One Odysseys experience including two driving days valued at $4,000. Participating parties need to tag themselves in the Zero One contest image on the Mint 400 Facebook page, and share it on their page. They then should enter contact info on The Mint 400 Zero One contest page. The package includes lodging and food, but not alcohol, gratuity or transportation to Las Vegas.
The title sponsor for the General Tire Mint 400 is Continental Tire the Americas L.L.C.
