RETAIL FIXTURE L.L.C. JOINS ANGELLE AND STAR RACING'S CHASE FOR THE 2002
CHAMPIONSHIP
Americus, Ga., August 13, 2002 - The Star Racing team's pursuit of the 2002
NHRA POWERade championship received some welcome assistance on Tuesday, as it
was announced that Retail Fixture, L.L.C. will be joining George Bryce's
organization for the remainder of the season.
The Racine, Wisconsin-based company will be the presenting sponsor on
two-time defending champion Angelle Savoie's Pro Stock Suzuki at this
weekend's Rugged Liner NHRA Nationals in Brainerd, Minn., moving to an
associate role for the last four races. However, should Star Racing not sign
a new corporate partner by the U.S. Nationals, Retail Fixture's primary
positioning will be extended to include the Indianapolis event.
"Curt Woodward and Retail Fixture are avid racing enthusiasts and long-time
friends of the Star Racing team," stated Bryce. "They have been with us in
the past as an associate, and have stepped up to help us in the run for the
2002 championship.
"We're going to do everything we can to reward them for their investment.
Just like their displays are designed to bring attention to their customers'
products, Star Racing is going to work to put Retail Fixture in the spotlight
both on and off the track."
Founded in 1993 by Curt Woodward, Retail Fixture manufactures an entire line
of retail displays. From a single, freestanding unit to a custom-designed,
comprehensive store layout, they pride themselves on being a leader in the
industry. Specializing in customized service, they work with top retailers
around the world. A prime example of Retail Fixture's handiwork can be found
at the Star Racing facility in Americus, Ga., including a magnificent trophy
case which houses the many symbols of the team's on-track successes.
Woodward is no stranger to the motorsports arena. In addition to owning and
sponsoring a stock car in the American Speed Association (ASA), he scored Top
Ten points finishes in two years of competition in the AMA ProStar Series.
Prior to his previous involvement with Star Racing, he also participated in
the NHRA's Pro Stock Motorcycle division as both a driver and team owner.
"I've always been a Pro Stock Motorcycle, Star Racing and Angelle fan," said
Woodward. "When I found out recently that they were having difficulties with
their sponsorship program not coming along as they had hoped, I offered my
assistance.
"I'm looking forward to seeing Angelle and the Retail Fixture Suzuki race in
Brainerd. The one thing we made sure to do when we designed the office at
Star Racing was to make the trophy case expandable, and I expect them to take
full advantage of that feature throughout the remainder of the 2002 season."
