ALSCO Ty Dillon Car

ALSCO Ty Dillon Car Will Be Raced at Kentucky Speedway

(July 5, 2016) SALT LAKE CITY, UT – For the third year in a row, Alsco, a worldwide leader in the rental of linen, uniforms, healthcare garments, and washroom services and products, has teamed with VF Imagewear to power the No. 3 Chevrolet Camaro driven by Ty Dillon. This opportunity is made possible by Richard Childress Racing’s (RCR) partnership with VF Imagewear brand Red Kap. Alsco is a proud sponsor this year of the NASCAR XFINITY Series Alsco 300 at Kentucky Speedway on July 8.

“Successful partnerships aren’t born overnight. They’re the result of good people, good communication, and a level of trust between organizations,” said Jim Divers, director of Sales and Marketing at Alsco. “Our relationships with VF Imagewear, Richard Childress Racing and Kentucky Speedway all share those characteristics and make it an easy choice for Alsco to continue nurturing these partnerships.”

Nine top-ten finishes so far in 2016 have put Ty Dillon third in the series points standings, again making him a championship contender in his third season in the XFINITY Series. Dillon has experienced success at Kentucky Speedway in the past, but expects a new challenge at this season’s race.

“This year will be a little different at Kentucky Speedway. They just repaved the entire race track, so it’s almost like we’ve got a clean slate; an empty notebook. It will definitely be a new challenge, but I’m confident in our 1.5-mile race program here at RCR,” Dillon said. “I’m hoping to have more success this time around and get into Victory Lane.”

Dillon is also excited to once again fly the VF Imagewear and Alsco colors at a race that is of great value for both companies, he emphasized.

ALSCO Ty Dillon Car“VF Imagewear has been an exceptional partner at RCR for the last four years because of its superior product that it has to offer. Our shop guys love wearing their Red Kap uniforms,” the 24-year-old Welcome, North Carolina, native said. “In the same sense, Alsco has been one of VF’s key customers and has supported our race program tremendously. I’m grateful for their support and am looking forward to meeting their key customers and employees at the track. They always bring a passionate crowd that cheers us on.”

As companies that have each been in business for over 100 years, VF Imagewear and Alsco share a longevity and set of core values that have translated into a successful partnership on and off the track.

“VF Imagewear is excited to partner with Alsco and Richard Childress Racing to sponsor Ty Dillon and the No. 3 Chevrolet Camaro for this race,” said Jim Tewmey, vice president of Sales at VF Imagewear. “Alsco is a long-term customer of VF Imagewear. We appreciate and value their support in the marketplace with our Red Kap and Bulwark brands.”

In addition, earlier this year, Alsco became the title sponsor for the race after reaching a multi-year entitlement sponsorship agreement with Kentucky Speedway.

“Alsco’s relationship with Kentucky Speedway has evolved and grown over the last few years,” said Divers. “The speedway has invested in Alsco by giving us the opportunity to serve their facility with uniforms, and—just as we approach any customer relationship— it only made sense for Alsco to mutually invest in Kentucky Speedway.”

“With almost ten months a year of weekly exposure and race venues from coast to coast, we are able reach a significant audience through our NASCAR involvement,” Divers added. “It also gives us the opportunity to provide our customers with unique opportunities and experiences by participating in race-related activities. Our goal is to continue building a long-term relationship with our NASCAR partners, just as we aspire to do with our customer base.”
