Update: Jet Support Services, Inc. (JSSI) and Setna iO, among others, announced today the sponsorship of car No. 45 at the NASCAR Xfinity Series Chicago Street Race, taking place July 6th, 2024.
Car No. 45, a Chevy Camaro for Alpha Prime Racing, will be driven by Israel’s only professional NASCAR driver Alon Day, a four-time EuroNASCAR champion (2022, 2020, 2018, 2017).
The No. 45 will be customized with a full JSSI-branded car wrap in blue and white and will include the Hebrew word for life, חי, in homage to the Israeli hostages still being held in Hamas captivity and in solidarity with the Jewish people in light of the recent surge of antisemitism worldwide.
“We are honored to partner with Alon Day for NASCAR Chicago’s Street Race Xfinity Series. Alon represents the heart and spirit of the Israeli people: commitment to excellence, tremendous work ethic, and ability to persevere in the face of enormous adversity. These are the traits that we strive to embody at JSSI. We’re excited for Alon to bring these talents to the streets of Chicago,” said Neil Book, JSSI Chairman and CEO.
David Chaimovitz, Setna iO further explained, “We are thrilled to sponsor Alon Day for the 2024 NASCAR Chicago Street Race Xfinity Series. This incredible event, held in Grant Park, showcases the best of Chicago and America: competition, camaraderie, and bringing people of different backgrounds and nationalities together in celebration and sportsmanship.”
“I am grateful to Neil Book and JSSI, Setna iO, and my other sponsors for making it possible for me to compete in the Chicago Xfinity Street Race following my record breaking 4-time EuroNASCAR championships. I will be piloting the 45 at jet speed through the streets of Chicago on July 6th,” NASCAR driver Alon Day said.
“Alon is a special talent, and I know his skillset is a perfect fit for the Chicago Street Race. I’ve watched his accomplishments overseas, as well as his standout performances on smaller teams in the Xfinity series on road courses. Everyone at APR is so excited to have him,” explained Tommy Joe Martins, President of Alpha Prime Sports.
