In one fell swoop. the United Association of Journeymen and
Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry of the United
States and Canada (UA) has put their stamp on drag racing through a
major associate sponsorship of Don Prudhomme Racing's Top Fuel team
driven by Spencer Massey and title rights sponsorship of NHRA Full
Throttle Drag Racing Series events in Chicago and Englishtown. Both
programs were announced today.
As the Major Associate Sponsor, U.A. and its International Training
Fund (ITF), will enjoy significant identification on the Top Fuel
dragster, driver and team uniforms; enjoy pit-side hospitality during
the 2009 NHRA Full Throttle Series national events, personal
appearances by Massey and Team Owner Don Prudhomme, and other key value
elements.
“We are very pleased to welcome U.A. as a valued partner at Snake
Racing,” said Team Owner, Don Prudhomme. “The U.A. is such a strong
organization and we are proud to have the opportunity to help in their
efforts to increase awareness of the great programs that U.A. offers,
not only to its existing members, but for new members as well. Their
job training programs and facilities are very impressive, as well as
their Veterans In Pipe (VIP) effort, which assists returning U.S.
Military servicemen and servicewomen with job placement. I am very
proud of our new relationship with U.A. and look forward to many years
of mutual success both on and off the race track.”
