Key Motorsports signs four-race sponsor

Electrical contractor company climbs on board starting at Daytona

The Russell E. Garwood Electrical Contractor Company will sponsor the No. 40 Key Motorsports Chevrolet Silverado in up to six races on the 2006 Craftsman Truck Series circuit beginning with the season opener on Friday night, February 17 at Daytona International Speedway.

The sponsorship from the Marco Island, Fla.-based company was announced by team owner Curtis Key who recently signed veteran driver Chad Chaffin to drive his truck for at least four races beginning with the Daytona event.

"We are thrilled to have a Florida-based company agree to provide sponsorship of our team and for the opening race of the 2006 season", Key stated. "We look forward to representing the Russell E. Garwood Electrical Contractor Company well in Daytona and at each of the other races that they will be with us".

"I have been a race fan all of my life, and to be able to provide sponsorship of a race team in Daytona and in other races this coming season should really excite my customers and employees. I have known (Key Motorsports Crew Chief) Lance Hopper for some time and am honored to be able to support the Key Motorsports race team in 2006", Russell E. (Rusty) Garwood, the company founder, stated.

The company will also sponsor the No. 40 race truck in races at Gateway International Raceway outside of St. Louis in April, the August event at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway and the season finale in Homestead. Phoenix and Las Vegas are also potential races in which the Russell E. Garwood Electrical Contractor Company may extend support for the Key Motorsports entry in 2006.
