The West Virginia Division of Tourism has announced they will be the primary sponsor for Tim Sauter and AP Performance Racing in the Little Trees 300 BGN race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. The one race partnership came as an early birthday present for Sauter, whose birthday is this Sunday, as well as a needed relief for his team AP Performance Racing. “We are really excited to have West Virginia Division of Tourism on board with AP Performance Racing for Charlotte,” said Tim Sauter, driver of the #19 West Virginia “Wild and Wonderful” Chevy. “I have been to West Virginia before, it is a beautiful state and I am proud to promote it. I look forward to giving them a great run and at the same time showing AP Performance Racing’s value to a sponsor.” In an effort to inform NASCAR fans on to the numerous vacation destinations in West Virginia, the West Virginia Division of Tourism has formed several partnerships for the Charlotte race weekend in addition to being the primary on Sauter’s car. West Virginia Division of Tourism will be the associate sponsor on Richard Mitchell’s #54 entry in Thursday’s EasyCare Vehicle Service Contracts 150 ARCA race, as well as the associate sponsor on Wally Dallenbach’s #6 Dodge also racing in the Little Trees 300 with Sauter.
