"It's a big deal for us to be involved with 'America's Racetrack,' especially with it being in our backyard," Jason Moulton, senior motorsports manager, said.
"We are excited for this opportunity to bring our extensive racing experience to the national circuit and increase our involvement with this iconic racetrack."
