[coverattach=1]BROWNSBURG, Ind. (Jan. 22, 2009) - Mike Ashley Racing (MAR) and the Matco Tools Top Fuel team have partnered with Jim Dunn Racing to offer NHRA fans the ulitimate drag racing hospitality experience. Jim Dunn Racing and its Canidae Funny Car will be pitted adjacent to the Matco Tools Top Fuel dragster for the 2009 NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, it was announced today.
The Iron Eagle Club hospitality area, a 3,800-square-foot structure, was introduced two years ago to host Matco Tools distributors and their loyal Matco customers. Last season, the Iron Eagle Club hosted more than 14,000 guests. The partnership between MAR and JDR will see more than 1,800 Canidae guests join Matco Tools and other MAR sponsors at the IEC during the 24-race NHRA Full Throttle season.
"This is a great announcement for Jim Dunn Racing, Canidae and our valued sponsors," said team manager Jon Dunn. "The Iron Eagle Club offers a unique hospitality experience with no trailer dividing the two race cars and our guests will have the opportunity to see both the Canidae Funny Car and Matco dragster without an obstructed view. We're thrilled about the partnership with Mike Ashley Racing and excited to add Matco Tools to our roster of sponsors. This is going to be a fun season."
