Keystone Light Makes Smooth Entry Into NASCAR Camping World Truck Series™
Official Beer of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Introduces 24-Ounce Can Featuring 2009 Race Schedule
MILWAUKEE, WI and GOLDEN, CO--(Marketwire - February 13, 2009) - Keystone Light, the official
beer sponsor of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series™, is giving fans
yet another reason to reach for the "Always Smooth" beer as they tune into
the racing action each week: The complete 2009 NASCAR Camping World Truck
Series schedule is printed along the side of limited-edition, 24-ounce cans
of Keystone Light*.
"Keystone Light knows that NASCAR Camping World Truck Series fans take
their racing seriously, so the 24-ounce 'schedule can' is just another
reason they should make a pit stop for Keystone Light, whether they're
heading to the track or watching at home," said Keystone Light marketing
manager Beatriz Arsuaga.
The collectable, 24-ounce Keystone Light "schedule can" is available as a
single serve beer nationwide in convenience stores, liquor stores and
supermarkets.
"The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will benefit from this unprecedented
nationwide exposure on Keystone Light packaging," said Jim O'Connell, VP of
Corporate Marketing for NASCAR. "This is a great way for fans to keep up
with the truck series' 25-race schedule. As the series has grown and
entered new markets, you need a tall, 24-ounce can to list all those
events."
