5-Hour Energy expands sponsorship of RWI:

Officials of Living Essentials, LLC and Rusty Wallace Racing, LLC announced that LE, through its 5-Hour Energy Extra Strength brand, will expand its 2009 sponsorship program with the team. In addition to LE’s ongoing sponsorship of RWR’s #66 and driver Steve Wallace, 5-Hour Energy Extra Strength will serve as primary sponsor of RWR’s #62 Chevy, driven by fourth-ranked Brendan Gaughan, in 13 2009 Nationwide Series races. Additionally, 5-Hour Energy will have an increased associate sponsor presence on Wallace’s #66 for those 13 events. The overall 2009 5-Hour Energy racing program debuted with Steve Wallace’s top-ten finish in last weekend’s event at Bristol Motor Speedway. The expanded program, featuring the #62 5-Hour Energy Extra Strength Chevy, will make its debut in the April 25th event at Talladega Superspeedway and will conclude with the November 21st season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.(RWR PR)(3-24-2009)
