TEDDY BEAR
POOLS ADDS BONUS MONEY
TO MONADNOCK WMT EVENT |
 A
name synonymous with sponsorship in Modified racing
is back. Ted Hebert, owner of Teddy Bear Pools and
Spas of Chicopee, Mass., has agreed to become an
associate sponsor of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour
event at the Monadnock Speedway on Saturday night,
May 12.
Following an idea created by Modified race fan Jim
Schaefer at his home track, the Riverhead Raceway on
Long Island, the Monadnock NASCAR WMT event purse
will be bolstered $5,000 by Teddy Bear Pools, the #1
Dealer of Pools and Spas in all of Massachusetts.
All competing drivers who sport a provided Teddy
Bear Pools sticker on their cars will be eligible to
compete for the added bonus money.
Teddy Bear Pools was a major sponsor of Mario
Fiore's #44 race team in the 1980's, and also an
associate sponsor through the '90's. Car owner Mario
Fiore credit's Hebert's sponsorship as the reason
they were able to race in the year 2000, after a
major company backed out of a sponsorship deal when
the race season was about to begin.
The money will be added to a number of finishing
positions, with enticing more teams to compete at
the quarter-mile southern New Hampshire oval in
mind. Last season, Todd Szegedy drove some extra
laps, and turned that experience at Monadnock in a
weekly series event into a WMT victory at the
high-banked quarter mile oval.
This year's event, thanks to Teddy Bear Pools,
promises to carry added significance. Check out
their web site:
www.teddybearpools.com, and stay tuned for
more exciting announcements about the Monadnock
NASCAR WMT event. They will be made public in the
coming weeks leading up to this big event. Further
