Thanks for all the kind words of support from everyone! I would just like to say that we had a good run with Kroger and the various Procter & Gamble (P&G) brands (Tide, Bounty, Pringles, Folgers and Sunny Delight) and I thank them for all the support they have given us over the past 10 years. Like many companies in this economy, P&G has cut expenses to position themselves better to survive this downturn. Unfortunately we made the cut list.

Greg, don't feel that you have to stop shopping at Kroger's. There were people inside the Kroger Company actively looking for other partners (brands) to continue the co-sponsoring our team but as of now none have been signed. The decals will still be on the pavement car this weekend but we will debut the new paint schemes at Lawrenceburg for the start of Indiana Sprintweek.

We are actively and aggressively seeking sponsorship for the rest of the season and the following years. We can tailor a program to fit just about any sponsorship level. We are proud to have delivered tangible value for the monies received over the past 10 years and hope we can again enjoy a long term successful partnership with another great company like a Kroger or P&G.

If anyone has any suggestions or leads that they believe may be helpful feel free to email us at team@hoffmanracing.com. In the meantime, with the support of our many volunteers, our team will continue with the family tradition and work toward a 10th USAC National Sprint Car Championship.
