For Immediate Release
JANI-KING KEEPS QUALIFYING AWARDS CLEAN IN ASA
PENDLETON, Ind. (April 6, 2004) - Jani-King, the world's largest commercial cleaning
franchiser, returns to ASA Racing with an extensive sponsorship program for the 2004
ASA National Tour season. The program will continue a relationship between ASA and
Jani-King that began in 1998.
There are three phases to their involvement. For each of the 16 events during the ASA
National Tour season, the Jani-King Pole Award will consist of a $1,000 check to the
fastest qualifier. Jani-King will also make a year-end presentation of $2,500 to the driver
earning the most poles during the season.
"ASA continues to improve the series and implement new ideas to increase exposure for
its sponsors," said Jerry Crawford, Jani-King president. "The Jani-King Clean Sweep
Award not only creates excitement among the teams when the prize money rolls over
from week to week, but it's also going to make for some great racing when the Jani-King
Pole Award winner tries to collect."
The third and most exciting component is the new Jani-King "Clean Sweep" Award. This
is an additional $1,000 per race to be awarded only if the pole winner also becomes the
event winner. This purse will rollover to the next race should the pole winner fall short in
the quest to capture the checkered flag. For example, Zach Niessner, the pole winner at
the season-opening ASA National Tour event at Lakeland did not win the race so the
Clean Sweep Award amount grows to $2,000 for the second race. The amount will
continue to accumulate at each event until a driver wins from the pole.
As an official category sponsor, Jani-King will have a visible presence on all competing
cars, driver and crew uniforms, pit area pennant flags and in the grandstand entry areas.
Jani-King will also be involved in all pre/post-race winner's circle ceremonies. There will
be a presence established with in-car cameras in televised events, as well as specific
segments touting the Jani-King Pole and Clean Sweep Awards. The sponsorship also
includes ticketing at all ASA-sanctioned events for Jani-King franchisees, prospective
customers and customers to enjoy the great ASA racing action live.
Jani-King also continues to serve as the primary sponsor for the No. 17 Chevrolet driven
by Mike Garvey in the 2004 ASA National Tour. This continues Jani-King's lengthy
relationship as a car sponsor which began in 1998.
There are more than 9,500 authorized Jani-King franchise owners worldwide. Through a
network of more than 100 regional offices, Jani-King contracts commercial cleaning
services. Franchise owners who operate their own businesses perform the work.
The American Speed Association is based in Pendleton, Ind., and has offered stock car
racing programs since 1968, including the ASA National Tour, ASA Late Model Series
and ASA Member Track programs. For additional information, visit asaracing.com.
