Salt Lake City, May 15, 2009: Team Stargate Worlds is happy to announce that it is welcoming two new partners who will make their debut at this weekend's Utah Grand Prix. Maakoa LLC and Hotel Monaco Salt Lake City will be partnering with the team, led by drivers Frankie Muniz and Simona De Silvestro, and will be looking for a strong marketing platform that utilizes the talented twosome.

After just recently announcing their formation, Maakoa LLC, which is based in Orem, Utah is a company focused on promoting a healthy lifestyle. With a broad line of essential healthful products soon to hit the market, the company is looking to begin their national marketing campaign right in their own backyard at this weekend's race. The partnership is a perfect fit for a company with a healthy lifestyle as their product focus and philosophy. Race car drivers, such as those in the Atlantic Championship series, have to maintain a healthy lifestyle and frequently rely on nutritionally beneficial products. By partnering with Team Stargate Worlds, Maakoa, which means “Fearless”, is guaranteed an exciting and global marketing platform. Maakoa's sponsorship of the team is for the full 2009 season. You can find more information about Maakoa at www.maakoa.com

Team Stargate Worlds is also honored to have Kimpton’s Hotel Monaco Salt Lake City as a sponsor. The partnership will last for the duration of the weekend's festivities. Like an urban oasis in the high desert, Hotel Monaco Salt Lake City is all about guilty pleasures. The 225 guest rooms and hotel suites offer up a mix of vibrant and soothing colors and eclectic style defined by plush, plump furniture, designer patterns and whimsical touches. Guests at the Hotel Monaco can sink into a velvet sofa and sip wine by the fire, luxuriate in a setting that evokes the Hollywood glamour of the forties and contemplate dinner in any one of several intriguing restaurants, most just a stroll away. Reservations and prices are available by calling (801) 595-0000. Located at 15 West 200 South in Downtown Salt Lake City. This weekend's Utah Grand Prix will be seen by thousands of Utahns and visitors from out of state and with the #77 and #78 cars displaying the hotel's branding, the fast and exhilarating world of motorsports will add a unique avenue to the hotel's marketing approach.
