WOODBURY, N.Y., Feb. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- E S Foods signed a contract yesterday to sponsor Danika Miles, an 11-year-old who races in the Top Jr. Dragster division of the Professional Drag Racing Association (PDRA). Danika's car reaches speeds in excess of 85 mph in 8 seconds. She will serve as a spokesperson to her school-age peers about the healthy meals E S Foods offers school foodservice programs across the country.

As part of the sponsorship, her car will be wrapped with a custom E S Foods design. "We thought this was a fun, unique way to promote E S Foods' products while honoring a successful middle school student," explains Amy Josephson, Vice President of Marketing, E S Foods. "In many ways, Danika is your average school kid, yet also is a role model leading an extraordinary life."

Danika is an Honor Roll student in the 6th grade at Richard Winn Academy in her hometown of Ridgeway, South Carolina. She is also a cheerleader and plays guard for her school's Junior Varsity basketball team. Along with running the full PDRA season, Danika also races several charity races throughout the year. Danika loves going fast and says, "It's really cool to have a license to drive at 11 years old." She started racing at the age of 10 and hopes to make this her career.

Obviously, her name and race car driving are no coincidence. Her father is a NASCAR enthusiast and named her for Danica Patrick, the most successful woman in the history of American open-wheel racing.

"We will have Danika attend a few events with us," says Josephson. "We're hoping to ship her car to ANC in July and have Danika there at our booth."

E S Foods offers a full complement of products and solutions to cover all day parts – from before the bell to afterschool and summer – including innovative center of the plate entrees, fully reimbursable meal kits, and its fastest growing flagship brand, Breakfast BREAKS. Headquartered in Woodbury, New York, E S Foods is dedicated to providing nutritious, "kid-friendly" foods for America's school children. For more information, visit www.esfoods.com.
