The Chase - El Monterey To Serve As Primary Sponsor For Stewart At Talladega

KANNAPOLIS, Oct. 19, 2011: El Monterey, the No. 1 frozen Mexican food brand in the United States, is looking to be No. 1 at the end of Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.

The line of convenient Mexican snacks will adorn Tony Stewart’s No. 14 Chevrolet throughout the Talladega race weekend in its first stint as a primary sponsor at the elite Sprint Cup level, joining longtime sponsor Office Depot.

The No. 14 El Monterey/Office Depot Chevrolet Impala hits the track on Friday for practice, Saturday for qualifying and Sunday for the 188-lap Good Sam Club 500. SPEED will broadcast practice and qualifying while ESPN will carry the race.

“We’re obviously very proud to have El Monterey join Office Depot this weekend at Talladega,” said Stewart, who won at Talladega in October 2008 while totaling six second-place finishes in 25 career Sprint Cup starts at the 2.66-mile oval. “It’s a partnership that has only grown since they joined Stewart-Haas Racing, and to see El Monterey on the hood tells me this partnership works well for them, too.”
