DOVER, May 25, 2009: Dover International Speedway and Pepsi Bottling Ventures (PBV) LLC have announced a new seven-year agreement that reaffirms Pepsi as the “Official and Exclusive Soft Drink & Bottled Water of Dover International Speedway.” Dover’s relationship with Pepsi Bottling Ventures spans many years, and Pepsi products have become a staple amongst thirsty race fans at the Monster Mile.

“We’re happy to renew our relationship with Pepsi Bottling Ventures,” said Denis McGlynn, president and CEO of Dover Motorsports, Inc. “Pepsi is a world renowned brand, and we are proud to serve their products to the hundreds of thousands of race fans who come to the Monster Mile each year. We look forward to working together with them to promote our races and their line of products.”

“Pepsi Bottling Ventures is thrilled to be able to continue the long standing partnership with Dover International Speedway,” said Keith Reimer, president and CEO of PBV. “We consider our partnership with the Monster Mile one of the crown jewels of our marketing portfolio,” added Reimer.

Pepsi’s involvement blankets the sport of NASCAR, from being on the hood of Jeff Gordon’s No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, to its partnership with Dover, and the two partners regularly work together to offer fans special promotions leading up to the event weekends at the Monster Mile.

Fans will be able to purchase Pepsi products – including Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Sierra Mist, Aquafina and AMP Energy – at the dozens of concessions stands located around the one-mile, concrete oval. Pepsi products are also served on the property adjacent to the track at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino.

Great seats still remain for the May 29-31 NASCAR race weekend at Dover International. For more information, or to purchase race tickets, call 800-441-RACE or visit DoverSpeedway.com.
