| Bankers Financial Corporation, the St. Petersburg-based insurance, surety and business solutions company, has announced a continuation of its associate sponsorship of Ed Carpenter Racing for the season-opening Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.
For the third straight year, Bankers will have a presence on both ECR cars, the No. 20 Fuzzy’s Vodka Chevrolet of Spencer Pigot and the No. 21 Fuzzy’s Vodka Chevrolet driven by JR Hildebrand.
“This is a great opportunity for Bankers to continue to support a local event and build awareness for Bankers in our hometown,” said Bill Lafontaine, Bankers chief marketing officer. “Partnering with ECR owner Ed Carpenter and his drivers Spencer Pigot and JR Hildebrand is an ideal way for Bankers to continue to build our brand in the St. Petersburg area.”
Team owner Carpenter said the pairing with Bankers is a natural.
“I have always run our race team with family in mind, so it is a great fit to have family-owned Bankers returning as a valuable team member for the St. Petersburg race,” Carpenter said. |
