Thew #99 Ford, driven by Carl Edwards, will sport a special Ortho Season-Long Grass and Weed Killer paint scheme next week in Talladega for the Aaron’s 499 NEXTEL Cup race. Ortho, one of The Scotts Companys brands, will appear for the first time as a primary sponsor at Sunday’s 188 lap event. “I’m excited to have the Ortho paint scheme on the No. 99 Ford next week,” said Edwards. “Scotts has 11 races this year and it’s neat that they are using them to support not only the Scotts brand but their other brands as well. We had a great win with Scotts at Atlanta and we’re hoping to have another great run with Ortho in Talladega.” Jeff Keyser, Senior Director for Ortho Marketing at The Scotts Company echoed Edwards’ excitement and explained their strategy for placing the Ortho brand on the #99 Ford at Talladega. Ortho Season-Long Grass and Weed Killer is proud to partner with Roush Racing to sponsor Carl Edwards and the No. 99 Team in Talladega. Keyser continued, Weeds become a real problem for consumers April through June and this is the perfect time to get them under control. Just one application of Ortho Season-Long not only kills existing weeds, but also prevents new weeds for the entire season which should give fans more time to enjoy racing on weekends!(Roush Racing)(4-30-2005)
