Arciero-Miller Racing Announces New Sponsorship from Oakley;
Team Signing Sponsors at a Record Pace
FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif. - - Oakley, Inc. (NYSE-OO), has
signed a multi-year sponsorship agreement with Arciero-Miller racing, it
was announced today. Oakley will be aboard the SCORE-International
Trophy Truck when Ryan Arciero and Mark Miller attempt to win this
year's Tecate SCORE Baja 500 June 2-4 in Ensenada, Mexico.
The Arciero-Miller sponsorship is the latest addition to
those already under the Oakley Racing Division umbrella. In NASCAR,
Oakley sponsors NASCAR champions Tony Stewart, Bobby Labonte and Matt
Kenseth, as well as NASCAR NEXTEL Cup drivers Kasey Kahne, Elliott
Sadler, Michael Waltrip, Jamie McMurray, Brian Vickers and J.J. Yeley.
In Formula 1, Oakley sponsors Team McLaren driver Juan Pablo Montoya and
American Red Bull Driver Scott Speed. Oakley's IRL sponsorship is
centered on Target Chip Ganassi driver Scott Dixon, and in the NHRA,
Oakley is the primary sponsor for 2005 NHRA PowerAde Funny Car champion
Gary Scelzi.
"Oakley has a long-standing relationship with the Arciero
Family," Todd Hayes, Sports Marketing Manager, Oakley Racing Division
said. "They're targeting the Baja 500 and the Baja 1000, the two
largest off- road races in North America. It makes perfect sense for
Oakley to be part of their program. We want to be there the next time
they conquer Baja."
"I had a personal sponsorship from Oakley before, but now
they've really stepped up and are an associate sponsor on our truck,"
Arciero said. "Having Oakley on board at their current level says a lot
about the progress we're making as a race team. Oakley is involved in
so many different forms of motosports, and it's a great compliment that
they've added our race team to their portfolio. When you think of
Oakley, you think of quality, innovation and trend setting. That's
exactly what Arciero-Miller is all about."
Arciero-Miller sponsorships are at an all-time high. In the last month,
the team has announced new or enhanced sponsorships from UMI Racing
Technology, Racepak Data Systems and KMC Wheels in addition to today's
Oakley announcement.
Arciero-Miller Racing is a partnership between SCORE
Trophy-Truck drivers Ryan Arciero and Mark Miller. The team operates
out of its shop in Foothill Ranch, Calif. Arciero and Miller won the
SCORE Baja 500 in 2002 and '03. The 2006 event is set for June 2-4 in
Ensenada, Mexico.
