| CLEARWATER, Florida (February 11, 2020) – Longstanding Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR) partner WeatherTech, which is best known for its WeatherTech FloorLiners™ and accessories of unparalleled quality, returns to HSR in 2020 as the continuing sponsor of the HSR WeatherTech Sprint Series. A featured and anchor part of every HSR race event, the HSR WeatherTech Sprint Series is run in a doubleheader schedule every weekend of competition, most often in a Saturday/Sunday format. Every Run Group in HSR has a pair of WeatherTech Sprint Series races on their schedule each race weekend, which means more competitors make it to victory lane in WeatherTech races than any other series within HSR. “We are delighted WeatherTech is back and can’t thank them enough for being one of our best sponsor partners the last few years,” said HSR President David Hinton. The HSR WeatherTech Sprint Series is the backbone and at the foundation of each HSR race weekend. If you race in HSR, you have a WeatherTech race available to you, and the competition in these flat-out sprints is among the best we have each and every weekend.” WeatherTech’s partnership with HSR is just part of its motorsports sponsorship program. WeatherTech Racing has been a competitive force at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and in IMSA competition for more than a decade. WeatherTech also title sponsors the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, the flagship racing series of IMSA, which also supports HSR. The HSR Classic Daytona 24 hour race, which was run for the fifth time last November, has featured IMSA as its presenting sponsor the last several years. The HSR Classic Daytona presented by IMSA returns to the “World Center of Racing” for the sixth running of the classic 24-hour race this November, 4 – 8. The 2020 HSR racing season begins with the second annual running of the HSR Spring Fling Weekend at Sebring International Raceway, March 26 – 29. The WeatherTech renewal announcement is the first of several new and returning HSR sponsorship announcements scheduled in the next few weeks. Noteworthy WeatherTech shares more than just a love for sports car racing with HSR competitors and fellow partners. Like so many others in the HSR paddock, WeatherTech CEO David McNeil and his family have a universal love for dogs. McNeil’s personal Golden Retriever, Scout, appears in WeatherTech advertising, has his own Instagram account and was recently the center of a heart-tugging WeatherTech commercial during Super Bowl LIV. WeatherTech Super Bowl ad featuring Scout Scout was diagnosed with a rare tumor on his heart last year that typically has only a 1% survival rate. Fortunately for Scout, The University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine, one of the leading veterinary schools in the country, devised a cutting-edge treatment plan that has resulted in Scout’s tumor all but disappearing. Thanks to ongoing treatment at the University, Scout is living his best life! To help the people who helped Scout and other patients just as special as him, this year’s WeatherTech Super Bowl commercial focused on raising funds for The University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine and the important cancer research they do.
