Star Racing Announces Platinum General Construction Services As Event Sponsor for JoinTeamAngelle.com

AMERICUS, Ga., June 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Star Racing and three-time NHRA world champion Angelle Sampey are pleased to announce that Platinum General Construction Services will serve as an event sponsor for this week's NHRA Mello Yello Pro Stock Motorcycle Series Toyota Summer Nationals race in Englishtown, New Jersey. Platinum General Construction Services owner Ralphie Navarro made the decision on the company's commitment for the$7,500 sponsorship after visiting Star Racing's JoinTeamAngelle.com fan sponsorship campaign website.

With sponsorship through the JoinTeamAngelle.com campaign, Platinum General Construction Services will have its logo featured on Sampey's Star Racing motorcycle during the event. Other perks include pit uniforms for Platinum General Construction Services staff members, meet-and-greet time with Sampey and the Star Racing team and tickets to all sessions of the Toyota Summer Nationals event.

"When I first saw the opportunity that Star Racing and Angelle were offering through the JoinTeamAngelle.com website, I knew right away that it would be a great fit for us because it offers affordable access to a major sponsorship with benefits our staff can enjoy," said Mr. Navarro. "I've been looking for a special event opportunity to share with our staff. We have a great team of people who do such a terrific job every day, and the chance to share a weekend of NHRA racing with the Star Racing team is one I couldn't pass up. Plus, I've been a big fan of Angelle over the years. She's a true superstar in this sport. Star Racing is one of the all-time great teams in NHRA, and this was an opportunity for me to be able to step up and make a difference for them."

Platinum General Construction Services, based in New Jersey, is planning to bring a number of the company's employees to experience the activities at the Toyota Summer Nationals event. Star Racing will be hosting the Platinum General Construction Services staff in the team's pit area, and they will have the opportunity to see what takes place behind the scenes as Sampey and the Star team prepare to race.

"What makes this event sponsorship with Star Racing and JoinTeamAngelle.com so special is that they are going to be sharing time with us and taking us inside their racing operation," said Mr. Navarro. "I want to compliment Star Racing on the JoinTeamAngelle.com program because it offers our company a number of advantages through our sponsorship. This type of opportunity is totally unique and I would encourage other smaller or mid-sized companies to visit JoinTeamAngelle.com. Platinum General Construction Services is proud to be a part of Team Angelle, and we are counting the hours until we get to the track."

"Quite obviously, we are thrilled that Raphie Navarro and Platinum General Construction Services will be joining us through the JoinTeamAngelle.com campaign at the Toyota Summer Nationals as an event sponsor," said Star Racing team owner George Bryce. "When Ralphie contacted us about what he had in mind to celebrate the work of his staff, we immediately began working with him on designing an event sponsor package that would create a meaningful and memorable experience for his company. We want to salute Ralphie as a sponsor and as a business owner who sincerely cares about his staff. One of the advantages we have with the JoinTeamAngelle.com campaign is that we can customize sponsor packages for an event, a series of events or the entire season."

In looking at the overall campaign, Mr. Bryce noted that the JoinTeamAngelle.com fan sponsorship drive has continued to gain momentum since its debut in mid May at the NHRA event at the Atlanta Dragway. The campaign is on target to reach its initial goal of securing $30,000 in sponsorships in its first 30 days.

"It's been quite gratifying and quite humbling to see the response we have received in the first couple of weeks following the announcement and debut of JoinTeamAngelle.com," said Mr. Bryce. "We have seen our fans engaged in ways that I've not seen in my 40 years in racing. Through the website, fans are watching our videos, reading our blogs and getting a sense of what happens on the inside of a racing team. We've also seen small and mid-sized businesses approach us concerning sponsorships that are financially reachable and provide value for their organizations. The campaign has given our team tremendous momentum and we are excited about the possibilities for the season."
