KING, NC (June 15, 2011) – Rickie Smith lands major sponsorship with the Industrial Distribution Group (IDG) for the remainder of the season. Smith and IDG inked the deal earlier this week, and the two are very excited about the partnership.
IDG, based in Belmont, NC, is a nationwide provider of industrial products and engineered solutions for manufacturing that enable customers to save money, improve productivity, and streamline processes. IDG is unique in its technical expertise in metalworking, plant maintenance, and precision
assembly.
The company recently launched the 2011 IDG BLACKBOOK™ print catalog focusing on metalworking and plant operations products that are in stock and ready for same day shipment nationwide. IDG also maintains a robust online catalog @ www.ShopIDG.com containing thousands of in stock products that ship same day as ordered. IDG is proud to be associated with Rickie Smith Racing.
“It is great to have them aboard,” said Rickie Smith. “With us teaming up the rest of the year and kicking things off this weekend at Bristol is just awesome. I am very excited and hope to give them a win or two before the year is up.”
Smith and his Industrial Distribution Group (IDG) Nitrous Injected Chevrolet Camaro enter this weekend’s Get Screened America Pro Mod Challenge at Bristol Dragway sitting fifth in the points.
Smith has run at the Bristol Dragway more times then he can count. The veteran is a drag racing legend there, literally. In 2007 Smith was chosen as one of the first four to be listed as inductees into the Legendary Thunder Valley, along with Wally Parks, Larry Carrier and Don Garlits. Smith’s name is proudly displayed atop the main grandstands.
The trickster has more wins then any other driver at the Bristol track. No racer has ever experienced the type of success Smith has had at Bristol.
Smith won his first race at Bristol in the 1980s, since then he has won over eight more times at the track. With his statistics at the track, he is sure to be the one to look out for this weekend.
“I love going to Bristol. Not only because it’s close to the house, but I have so many memories there. The track has been real good to us in the past, hopefully we can add another one this weekend.”
Smith and the rest of the Pro Modified drivers will get things kicked off on Friday,
