28/07/13…Pam Franz
Kingaroy Speedway and Lucas Oils have joined forces to announce a landmark deal that will see the QLD regional speedway venue renamed LUCAS OIL KINGAROY SPEEDWAY.
This deal is regarded as a major coup as LUCAS OILS is arguably one of the worlds biggest motorsports sponsor ,and to have this association with the Kingaroy venue which in the past few years has seen a transformation the likes of which has been somewhat incredible to make the club and venue regarded highly in the ranks of Australian speedway.
The strength of this partnership is highlighted by the fact that LUCAS OILS AUSTRALIA has agreed to be Naming rights sponsor of the Kingaroy venue for the next 3 years with a extension period of a further 3 years and long into the future.
Club president Ashley Barron and LUCAS OILS AUSTRALIA managing director Jeff Pahlke both agree that this deal is an investment into grass roots racing which is where the future is created.
“It is exciting to be involved with KINGAROY SPEEDWAY as the passion and commitment to Speedway that this club has shown is right where LUCAS OILS wants to put its support well into the future, but this is not just a one way street as the club has committed to actively promote and market our product to the racing fraternity and its supporters and the public alike”, said Jeff Pahlke.
“To have a huge multinational company like LUCAS OILS join our club as naming right sponsors is huge as it give us an indication that we are definitely heading in the right direction with what we are doing with regards to the shows we are putting on and the value for money we feel that we are giving to the fans each and every night we run a race meeting”, said Ashley Barron.
LUCAS OILS has a lot of sponsorship and advertising proposals landing on their desk but the agreement to between LUCAS OILS and KINGAROY SPEEDWAY to become LUCAS OIL KINGAROY SPEEDWAY has gone a step further in a ground-breaking partnership that will see not only a renaming of a country speedway that has been operating for the past 44 years but a partnership in business between the two organisations
LUCAS OIL KINGAROY SPEEDWAY will actively promote, sell and distribute LUCAS OILS PRODUCT throughout its vast network of club members, competitors, right down to visiting competitors who can pre-purchase then pickup LUCAS OILS PRODUCTS from the venue on race nights. This can only lead to a win/win situation for both the LUCAS OILS, club members, competitors and speedway in general as they are all using these consumables in there race cars and tow vehicles, and having a world renowned product like LUCAS OILS to promote and market the club feels the product will give confidence and the results will speak for themselves.
