“We are very pleased to be extending our partnerships with Pepsi, Anheuser-Busch and Torke Coffee,” said Road America president and general manager George Bruggenthies. “We’ve been very fortunate that we have what we feel are some of the greatest sponsors in the sport and continuing our relationships is a perfect fit for where we are and where we intend to go. We look forward to long and rewarding partnerships with these respected companies.”
The multi-year partnerships between Road America, Lakeside Pepsi Cola, Anheuser-Busch through Larry’s Distributing and Torke Coffee include a number of shared multi-state marketing initiatives designed to help all three entities increase brand awareness and promote their products throughout the area and the racing community.
