Tasty New Sponsorship for Martino Motorsports!

Canadian-based Voortman Cookies to get their first taste of Professional drag racing….

North American cookie maker, Voortman, of Burlington, Ontario, is sponsoring Canadian Pro Stock racer, Mark Martino, during the NHRA national event in Brainerd, Minnesota, August 16-18, 2013. The sponsorship, arranged through Forward Sports Marketing, involves activation of a new sales promotion with Midwest retailer, Menards.

Menards stores will begin carrying Voortman Cookies in mid-August to celebrate the race team sponsorship, and retail the popular wafer cookies in vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, and coconut flavors.

“We are proud to represent a great Canadian company like Voortman Cookies and have the bright yellow Menards graphic scheme on our Pro Stock car at Brainerd. I think the race fans who shop at Menards will be just as excited as we are to have Voortman Cookies available through their 280 stores in the Midwest,” said Martino. “Brainerd is a special place for me as this track was the first place we raced in the NHRA Pro Stock class in 2010 and qualified for our first ever event here back in 2011.”

Martino had an impressive race recently at the NHRA Route 66 Nationals in Joliet, IL last month when he went with a completely new combination for his racing program. He was able to get a GXP chassis from Kenny Koretsky, and power from engine builder, Cagnazzi Racing. Martino topped it off by adding renowned crew chief Eddie Guarnaccia Jr, along with Jamie and Jon Yates.

The race car will be on display, and Mark Martino will host an autograph session on Thursday, August 15 from 4:00-6:00pm at the Menards store located at 15236 Dellwood Dr in Baxter, MN just 4 miles from Brainerd International Raceway. The next day the race team will begin competing at the NHRA Lucas Oil Nationals Friday, August 16 through August 18 at the nearby track.
