Richard Petty Motorsports announced that Go Bowling and Strike Ten Entertainment, the bowling industry’s marketing arm and sponsorship division, will partner with driver Brian Scott and the #44 Ford Team for the Go Bowling 400 at Kansas Speedway in May. As part of the one-race primary partnership, the GoBowling.com logo will be on the hood of the #44 Ford Fusion at the May 7 night race in Kansas. Go Bowling has been a partner with Richard Petty Motorsports since 2013, and has been featured on the #43 Ford Fusion driven by Aric Almirola. The ties between racing and bowling date back to the 1990s when NASCAR bowling leagues were launched and were immediate hits at bowling centers across the country. Since then, the bowling industry – Go Bowling and Strike Ten Entertainment – has increased its involvement in racing from sponsoring races to engaging with drivers and teams. More than 67 million people take to the lanes each year and bowling centers serve as community hubs for social events, birthday parties, competitive leagues and charitable fundraisers.(Richard Petty Motorsports), see an image of the car on the #44 team paint schemes page.
