Sparkling Ice will be the primary sponsor on the Dote Racing Top Fuel dragster driven by Leah Pritchett at the NHRA Keystone Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway, Oct. 2-4.
To promote the partnership between Sparkling Ice, part of the Talking Rain Beverage Co. portfolio, and Dote Racing, the race team will make an appearance at the Turkey Hill convenience store at 2432 Morgantown Road in Reading on Thursday, Oct. 1, from 4-6 p.m. Turkey Hill and Sparkling Ice customers also won autographed race gear from Pritchett and NHRA Keystone Nationals tickets through a “Text & Win” contest.
“I have enjoyed working with the Talking Rain group and introducing the Sparkling Ice brand to the world of NHRA all season, and I’ve been looking forward to their primary race for months,” said Pritchett. “As most of our livery usually does, I really believe the Sparkling Ice car will stand out. It embodies the bubbles of the Black Raspberry Sparkling Ice flavor and reflects the bold, refreshing, fun, and colorful personality of the brand.”
Going into the NHRA Keystone Nationals, Pritchett is 13th in points despite only running at 14 races so far in 2015. Her best performance was in Atlanta, where she qualified No. 3 and made it to the final round. During her most recent outing in Charlotte, Pritchett qualified No. 4 and made it to the semifinals.
