Alsco Inc., the worldwide leader in providing rental services for linen, workwear uniforms and facility services to customers that include restaurants, healthcare, automotive industry and industrial facilities, is proudly celebrating its fourth consecutive year as the title sponsor of the NASCAR Xfinity Series Alsco 300 at Kentucky Speedway, where the green flag drops on Friday, July 12. This year, Alsco added the NASCAR Xfinity Series Alsco 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway for a trifecta of Alsco 300 races that also included Charlotte Motor Speedway over Memorial Day weekend. Today, Alsco is the only company with multiple Xfinity Series entitlements.
"While our growth in NASCAR is something we're excited about, coming back to Kentucky is something our team has become sentimental over," says Alsco Sales and Marketing Director Jim Divers. "Kentucky Speedway is loaded with great experiences for all fans, and our customers always love coming out to see the races here."
"Signing Alsco to a multiyear extension of their Xfinity Series sponsorship at Kentucky Speedway was the highlight of our off-season," said Kentucky Speedway General Manager Mark Simendinger. "The same enthusiasm and professionalism that has made them a leader in their industry is what makes them one of the best sponsors in sports. We are proud to always be Alsco's home track!"
Alsco is pleased to announce this year's grand marshal for the Alsco 300 at Kentucky Speedway is Maj. Gen. Jerry D. Humble. A graduate of Western Kentucky University, Humble has enjoyed a highly decorated career in service to his country and to his local communities. In addition to fly-fishing and shooting sports, Humble serves as a special deputy with the Daviess County Sheriff's Department and consults with businesses and law enforcement around the United States on leadership and counterterrorism.
Alsco is also excited to present this year's Honorary Starter, Erroll Reese. Based in North Carolina's Triangle area, Reese is a co-host on the popular sports radio program "The Sports Shop." In addition to his work in entertainment, Reese is a tech entrepreneur and passionate about giving back to his communities.
