CARQUEST BELTS AND HOSE RENEWS
SPONSORSHIP
OF STAFFORD MOTOR SPEEDWAY PIT PARTIES |
Stafford Motor Speedway and CARQUEST Auto Parts are proud to continue the
annual CARQUEST Belts and Hoses Pit Party at the 38th Annual TECH-Net Spring
Sizzler on Sunday April 26th. The racecars, drivers, teams and sponsors will
convene on the infield of the half-mile oval giving fans the opportunity to
meet and greet their favorite drivers which marks the traditional start to
the another season of racing at Stafford Motor Speedway.
“The CARQUEST Belts and Hoses Pit Party is a unique opportunity for
the race fans to get up close to the cars and drivers that they follow each
week, “ said Mark Arute, SMS COO/GM. We are pleased that CARQUEST Belts &
Hoses is affiliated with the longstanding pit party tradition at both the
Spring Sizzler and the Fall Final events.”
CARQUEST Belts & Hoses are top quality products produced by Gates,
the world’s leading manufacturer and aftermarket supplier, covering both
domestic and import vehicles. Many of these products are the same as those

recognized as one of the leading manufacturers of automotive power
transmission products.
CARQUEST is a recognized market leader in automotive and heavy-duty
application coverage and known for first-to-market status. CARQUEST Belts &
Hose customers can rely on the most complete coverage for the majority of
today’s passenger cars, light trucks and SUVs. CARQUEST Micro-V® Serpentine
Belts offer the latest technology in V-ribbed belt design and construction.
These products are available at your local CARQUEST Auto Parts store.
The Pit Party sponsorship continues CARQUEST Auto Parts’ already
long and storied involvement with Stafford Speedway. CARQUEST Auto Parts
first became involved with Stafford Motor Speedway as a track sponsor during
the 1985 season. Today, CARQUEST Auto Parts is Stafford’s largest corporate
partner. CARQUEST, and its nearly 4,000 stores nationwide, brought the
Modified Tour back to Stafford in 1989, brought the ISMA Supermodifieds to
Stafford with the open wheel CARQUEST Extreme Tuesday event, brought the PRA
Big Car Series to Stafford in 2006, and they are a former Camping World East
Series event title sponsor. In addition to CARQUEST Extreme Tuesday,
CARQUEST Auto Parts is currently the title sponsor of the CARQUEST Tech-Net
Spring Sizzler, the CARQUEST Fall Final Weekend, CARQUEST Dealer Night, and
the CARQUEST SK 150. CARQUEST Auto Parts also offers first place contingency
bonuses to the SK Modified®, Late Model, and Limited Late Model divisions
and was instrumental in bringing Valvoline to the SK Modified® division and
Bosch Spark Plugs to the SK Light Modified division as contingency sponsors.
The 38th annual Tech-Net Spring Sizzler presented by CARQUEST will
kick off the 2009 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series season at Stafford April
24-26.
