ANOTHER SPONSORSHIP HIT
Fri, 2008-02-15 09:51
One of the leading IHRA mountain motor Pro Stock racers will do battle
this season without the colorful livery of a sponsor he’s serviced for
nearly a decade.
John Montecalvo, of Center Moriches, New York, was notified recently that longtime sponsor, Citgo Liquified Petroleum division would be discontinuing their long working relationship. The successful department of Citgo was sold to Nu Star Energy, who in turn notified Montecalvo they had no interest in pursuing motorsports sponsorship as a marketing avenue.
“I am grateful and honored to have had such great, loyal support for all these years,” Montecalvo said in a prepared statement. “However, with time I’ve learned that when one door closes another opens. Our team is determined to be successful and has the will and desire to find its way.”

Montecalvo remains undeterred by the decision. In fact, the multi-time IHRA national event winner has ordered two brand new RJ Race Cars Chevrolet Cobalts as well as a pair of new mega-inch Sonny Leonard mountain motors.
“I am not going to let this set us back,” said Montecalvo. “Right now my wife Lois Anne and I are loading up the Ski-Doos and heading up to Old Forge for the weekend to do some snowmobiling. Monday morning I’ll be back at the office making some calls to see what’s available and what our options are. Meanwhile we are still going full speed ahead with our winter test schedule and are confident, that 2008 is going to be a great year”
Montecalvo pointed out that he has creative marketing opportunities available. JM Racing’s marketing department can be reached at 631.325.1492.
