TBARA President Buff Fritz announced today that the club has reached agreement with officials at Safety-Kleen Systems, Inc. to be the presenting series sponsor for the 2012 race season. The series will now be known as the Safety-Kleen Systems TBARA Sprint Car Series.

“We are very excited to reach this agreement with Safety-Kleen Systems and look forward to helping market Safety-Kleen’s environmentally responsible cleaning solutions to race fans and racers alike all over the southeastern United States,” said Fritz. “We at the TBARA feel that our passion for providing the best in pavement sprint car racing in the southeast and Safety-Kleen’s passion for keeping workplaces safe by keeping the environment clean is a good fit. Safety-Kleen has partnered with some of the finest teams and series in motorsports so we are honored to have them as a marketing partner for the 2012 race season.”

As one of the few areas in the country that has winged sprint car racing on pavement, when the TBARA competes at short tracks all over the southeastern United States, they generally re-write the track record books and pack the stands.

“We are very excited about partnering with the TBARA for the 2012 race season,” added Drew Patey, Director of Safety-Kleen Motorsports. “The TBARA has an almost 40-year tradition of sprint car excellence and we at Safety-Kleen have a track record of excellence in developing practical green processes for business for over fifty years. We feel this is a good fit and look forward to working together for years to come.”

The Safety-Kleen Systems TBARA Sprint Car Series has a 15 race schedule for 2012, covering Georgia and Florida. The Safety-Kleen Systems TBARA Sprint Car Series kicks off their season during SpeedWeeks at New Smyrna Speedway on February 19.
