\u201cIt\u2019s so cool that\u00a0I\u2019m getting\u00a0the\u00a0opportunity to make\u00a0my NASCAR Camping World Trucks Series debut at a track that is not only my favorite but a track that I\u2019ve experienced a tremendous amount of success, with my long-time partner Casey\u2019s, and my newest partner Rowdy Energy collaborating to make\u00a0this dream come true,\u201d Brown said.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s been a lot of fun this year as a Rowdy Energy athlete to\u00a0be able to\u00a0introduce racing fans across the country to all of the great flavors that Kyle has created in his energy drink\u00a0and\u00a0interact with\u00a0them\u00a0when they\u00a0share their appreciation for\u00a0his product\u00a0on social media.\u00a0I\u2019m excited that now they\u2019ll be able to purchase\u00a0Rowdy Energy\u00a0easily at over 1800 Casey\u2019s stores.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBrian has been a great ambassador for the Rowdy Energy brand this year and has an impressive resume at Knoxville, so as the Camping World Truck Series visits the famed dirt track for the first time, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to get him behind the wheel of the No. 51 Tundra,\u201d Busch said. \u201cFrom racing out in Iowa a few times myself, I\u2019ve seen firsthand how much Casey\u2019s supports motorsports in the Midwest. It\u2019s an honor to not only have them onboard at KBM as a sponsor for the inaugural NASCAR event at Knoxville but to also have them carrying Rowdy Energy in their stores.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCasey\u2019s is excited to see our long-time racing partner, Brian Brown, competing in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race,\u201d said Megan Elfers, Vice President of Marketing, Casey\u2019s. \u201cThis race provides a new way for Casey\u2019s to connect with sprint car racing fans alongside Rowdy Energy which goes great with Casey\u2019s famous pizza and snacks.\u201d<\/p>\n
KBM has earned three of its Camping World Truck series-leading 83 career wins on dirt tracks.
