BATON ROUGE, February 8, 2012: When the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards rolls into Daytona International Speedway for the season-opening Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 on Saturday, February 18th, Baton Rouge, La - based The Mosquito Patch will be making their company debut in a big way. The Mosquito Patch is teaming with Motorhead Racing Company to sponsor the No. 78 of Rookie Driver Aleks Gregory and the No. 76 of Daytona Veteran John Ferrier to battle the famed high-banks for 200 miles of bumper-to-bumper racing.

The Mosquito Patch"I am ecstatic for the launch of The Mosquito Patch; we have been working on this product for over five years, and there is no place more exciting to debut our product than Daytona International Speedway," said The Mosquito Patch Owner Ronnie Bennett. "To be involved in professional motorsports is way beyond what we have expected for our product debut. I hope that we can continue this for years and years to come."

Based out of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, The Mosquito Patch is an all-natural, deet free mosquito bite protection patch. The transdermal, water-proof patch attaches to the skin and provides up to 36 hours of mosquito bite protection. Because the spray-free, odor-free patch is all-natural, it is safe to use on children and adults of all ages.

The Mosquito Patch will be making its launch on the hood of two cars for the Motorhead Racing Company, who will also be making their first start in the ARCA Racing Series. Motorhead Racing Company's flagship driver, 23-year-old ARCA Rookie Aleks Gregory is set to make his series debut in the seat of the No. 78 Mosquito Patch Ford Fusion.

"I really appreciate what the owners at The Mosquito Patch are doing to support our Motorhead Racing Company," said Gregory. "This is a great opportunity and something I have wanted to do for a long time. The Mosquito Patch is a great product and very innovative. I have used it myself and it is fantastic. I am really excited to take the green flag at Daytona with The Mosquito Patch colors on my car and look forward to putting on a great show."

Daytona veteran John Ferrier will be teaming with Gregory in a second car for Motorhead Racing. Piloting the No. 76 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Ferrier will also be sporting The Mosquito Patch colors along with support from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

"I want to thank The Mosquito Patch for their support and for the opportunity to come back to Daytona. It is really exciting to be a part of their debut and to be able to take a startup company and help bring them to a national stage. I look forward to making them proud with a strong run at Daytona."
