The sponsorship package kicks off this weekend at Martinsville Speedway with Ginn Clubs & Resorts being the primary sponsor on Marlin's No. 14 entry for Sunday's Cup race and Kinser's No. 29 entry for Saturday's truck race. Kinser, an MB2 Motorsports development driver, is part of the Morgan-Dollar Motorsports truck team.

The agreement also calls for Ginn Clubs & Resorts to sponsor Marlin's MB2-owned Chevrolet -- July 1 at Daytona International Speedway and Oct. 14 at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte.

Ginn Clubs & Resorts, based in Celebration, Fla., is a privately held resort development and management firm specializing in exclusive leisure lifestyle and vacation destination communities in the United States. The company first partnered with MB2 as the primary sponsor on Bill Elliott's No. 36 Chevrolet during February's Daytona Speedweeks.

"This year, we sponsored Bill Elliott in the Daytona 500 with MB2 and it was an outstanding experience," said Bobby Ginn, president and CEO of Ginn Clubs & Resoirts. "We're looking to grow our motorsports relationship by sponsoring another popular veteran in Sterling Marlin and an upstart rookie in Kraig Kinser. We're excited and feel the MB2 and NASCAR associations are an excellent marketing vehicle for Ginn Clubs & Resorts."

Jay Frye, CEO and general manager of MB2, echoed similar feelings. "Ginn Clubs & Resorts is growing rapidly and we're proud and excited that they have joined our MB2 team of sponsors. We established a strong relationship with them in Daytona and look to strengthen the partnership with this new primary sponsorship package."
