Hendrick Motorsports announced a multi-year agreement that will feature Engineered Machined Products Inc. (EMP), the world leader in automotive thermal cooling and oil management systems, as an associate sponsor of the #25 Chevrolets driven by Brian Vickers in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series. “EMP has already enjoyed a successful association with Brian and we’re delighted they’ve chosen to continue that relationship by joining the #25 team,” said Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports. “We’re looking forward to many years of partnership.” EMP began its relationship with Vickers in 2001 as a primary sponsor in the USAR ProCup Series and continued into the following year on the driver’s NASCAR Busch Series entry.(Hendrick Motorsports PR)(1-20-2004)
