Bandit Industries to sponsor Crum at Bristol:

Bandit Industries Inc. has competed in the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series in the past. Now, the company is making its NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut with Jake Crum behind the wheel of the #01 BanditChippers.com Chevrolet Silverado at the Bristol Motor Speedway on Wednesday night. Jake made his NCWTS debut at Bristol in August 2010, qualifying an impressive 13th before a broken fuel pump ended his night after 90 laps. Jake will also be supporting the Greyhound Rescue Foundation of Tennessee during the race weekend. Bandit Industries Inc is a leading manufacturer of hand fed and whole tree wood chippers, wood waste recyclers, stump grinders, and forestry mowers. This wholly American company was founded in Remus, Michigan in 1983, starting with just six employees and a single wood chipper. Since then, over 50,000 Bandit machines have served in more than 50 countries around the globe, with the largest chippers and grinders using over 1000 horsepower to process material up to three feet in diameter.(Jake Crum Racing PR)(8-23-2011)
