Official Race Name will be XPEL 375
XPEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: XPEL) – a leading provider of
protective films and coatings today announced a multi-year
sponsorship at Texas Motor Speedway. The second race of the 2021
NTT INDYCAR SERIES doubleheader, scheduled for Sunday, May 2, will
be called the XPEL 375. The race will be televised live on NBCSN
with coverage beginning at 4 p.m. CT.
XPEL is a leading provider of protective films and coatings
offering high-quality products, world-class customer support and a
global network of trained installers. By securing the naming rights
for the XPEL 375, the company expects to generate significant brand
exposure among core marketing segments including authorized dealers
as well as consumers. The race sponsorship is the Company’s second
major professional motorsports activation in as many years.
“Last year we became the ‘Official Protective Film Partner’ of
Team Penske and embarked on our sponsorship journey with Josef
Newgarden and his No. 2 Chevrolet,” said XPEL President and Chief
Executive Officer, Ryan Pape. “Our new partnership with Texas Motor
Speedway solidifies our investment in the sport and we are excited
to see how the race sponsorship will drive increased brand
awareness to benefit our business.”
The speedway’s early May race date is new for 2021, replacing
its traditional June INDYCAR SERIES race date which began and ran
continuously since its inaugural season in 1997. Texas Motor
Speedway held a same-day INDYCAR SERIES doubleheader on June 11,
2011, with each race paying half points toward the season
championship. Each race of this season’s doubleheader races will
pay full points.
“The XPEL 375 will be a second fantastic day of NTT INDYCAR
SERIES excitement to kick off Texas Motor Speedway’s 25th Season of
Speed,” said Texas Motor Speedway President and General Manager
Eddie Gossage. “We’re thrilled to be working with yet another
industry leader, with roots firmly established in Texas, to bring
the best in open-wheel racing to race fans from across Texas and
throughout the country.”
Texas Motor Speedway hosted two events annually from 1998-2004,
with the second race held in either September or October and which
served as the season finale in all but 1998. The Great American
Speedway has hosted a total of 32 NTT INDYCAR SERIES races.
