Accell Construction to Team Up With Heinke-Baldwin Racing
Erick Rudolph will pilot the No. 98 Accell Construction/Tempo Graphics Chevrolet
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (July 12, 2011) – Accell Construction, Inc. will sponsor Heinke-Baldwin Racing (HBR) No. 98 Chevrolet driven by Erick Rudolph this weekend at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS). The Oklahoma-based company will be the primary sponsor for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour (NWMT) F.W. Webb 100 on Saturday, July 16th.
Accell Construction, Inc. is a full-service site civil contractor for the petroleum terminal and bulk storage industries. The company specializes in tank farm construction, tank foundations and other related site civil construction. The 20-year-old company operates civil construction projects in numerous states across the U.S.
“Thirty-two years ago, I raced Modifieds in the Northeast,” said Accell Construction owner Steve Todhunter. “I’m really excited to be involved in the series again. It is a lot more high-tech than what we had, but it is still a great series with good racing. It seems you always get a chance to revisit your past, and I’m grateful to be doing that with HBR.”
The sponsorship agreement continues a relationship between HBR sister company Tommy Baldwin Racing (TBR) and Accell Construction, Inc. Accell Construction sponsored TBR’s No. 36 Chevrolet for the Jeff Byrd 500 presented by Food City at Bristol Motor Speedway, the Samsung Mobile 500 at Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) and the Kansas Speedway 400 at Kansas Speedway (KS). Accell Construction will also provide associate sponsorship for the Hollywood Casino 400 at KS, the AAA Texas 500 at TMS, the Kobalt Tools 500 at Phoenix International Raceway and both races at NHMS.
“We’re excited about the sponsorship deal with Accell,” said HBR co-owner Al Heinke. “Steve and I got to talking at Kansas. He really enjoys open wheel racing, so we thought it would be a good fit for the weekend with them on the Sprint Cup Series car as well. New Hampshire is one of the biggest races on the tour schedule, and we are thrilled to introduce Accell Construction to the modified tour.”
Rudolph will get behind the wheel of the No. 98 Accell Construction/Tempo Graphics Chevrolet Thursday, July 14th for practice and qualifying. He will race in the F.W. Webb 100 on Saturday, July 16th.
