Labatt Breweries and Honda Dealers of Edmonton announced as partners

EDMONTON, AB – The Edmonton Indy will welcome two new major sponsors to this year’s race, scheduled from July 24-26, 2009.

Labatt Breweries of Canada will help race fans toast the world’s fastest drivers as they pit their nerves against the Edmonton Indy’s intricate track. Labatt products, including Budweiser, will be served at select concessions and hospitality suites throughout the three day sporting event. With more than 160 years of brewing excellence, Labatt products will be the beer of choice at the Edmonton Indy.

 

“Labatt Breweries and our brand Budweiser are very proud to support the Edmonton Indy,” said Blaine Kulac, Customer Marketing Manager for Labatt Breweries. “We are committed to the communities where we live and work, and this event is one way of supporting all those who attend, whether they are our employees, families, neighbours or race fans.  This partnership also allows us to support Northlands and Labatt’s mutual goal of providing exceptional entertainment experiences to our collective consumers in a locally relevant way.”

The Honda Dealers of Edmonton will also be on hand for the Edmonton Indy as the exclusive vehicle manufacturer sponsor, and host of Honda Friday. As a company that moves people in every conceivable way, the Honda Dealers of Edmonton will help rev up fans for the weekend at the Edmonton Indy.
 
 
“We’re proud to welcome both Labatt Breweries and the Honda Dealers of Edmonton as sponsors of the Edmonton Indy,” said Ken Knowles, President of Northlands. “The support of the corporate community is imperative when hosting international events like the Edmonton Indy, and it’s great to see Labatt Breweries and the Honda Dealers of Edmonton join us on the starting line.”
