 Taking advantage
of the option to extend our partnership allows Aaron's to
continue to have a high-profile marketing platform through 2013.
Robin Loudermilk, CEO, Aaron's
Aaron's (NYSE:AAN), the second
largest rent-to-own operator in the United States, activated a
clause in its contract that will extend the company's title
sponsorship on both the Aaron's 312 NASCAR Nationwide Series
race and the Aaron's 499 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race through
2013.
See RTOonline.com photos from
Aaron Rents Talladega 2007 (544 pics),
Aaron Rents Talladega 2008 (852 pics).
"Aaron's has been a great partner to
Talladega Superspeedway since 2002," said
Talladega Superspeedway President Rick
Humphrey. "We are excited that they have
decided to extend their contract with us and
we look forward to welcoming our fans to the
Aaron's 312 and Aaron's 499 for years to
come."
"Aaron's has realized great value partnering with Talladega
Superspeedway and producing one of the premier event weekends on
the NASCAR schedule, The Aaron's Dream Weekend." Stated Robin
Loudermilk, Chief Executive Officer of Aaron's, Inc.
"Taking
advantage of the option to extend our partnership allows Aaron's
to continue to have a high-profile marketing platform through
2013. Rick Humphrey and his staff have been very accommodating
and we appreciate all of their efforts that help make the
Aaron's Dream Weekend such a great experience for all of our
guests and those that attend this tremendous facility. We look
forward to continuing to build on what we have developed here
since 2002."
