Statesville, N.C. (February 22, 2010) - The glitz of the Las Vegas strip is coming to the cars of Front Row Motorsports with Yates Racing.  The NASCAR Sprint Cup team will showcase Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino Las Vegas with associate sponsorships on Travis Kvapil’s No. 34 and David Gilliland’s No. 38 Ford Fusions during this weekend’s Shelby American 500 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.  Fans will see the resort and casino’s logo on the lower-rear quarter panels of the teams’ Fords at the 1.5-mile tri-oval in the Nevada desert.

The partnership is a perfect combination of the high stakes and fast action of both Las Vegas entertainment and NASCAR racing.

“Front Row Motorsports with Yates Racing is thrilled to get together with Planet Hollywood,” said Bob Jenkins, owner of Front Row Motorsports with Yates Racing.  “Las Vegas is always a fun race, and to get such a huge player like Planet Hollywood on board with our Ford Fusions will make it even better.

“I know they have a lot of excitement over there at the casino, and we put on a pretty good show at the speedway, too,” Jenkins continued. “For a fan, sounds like a perfect weekend.”

“This is a great opportunity for Planet Hollywood to reach the NASCAR audience,” said Robyn Peot, Vice President of Brand Marketing for Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.  “In addition to the fans at the track, there are millions of fans watching on television, and we’re excited they’ll see the Planet Hollywood name on the cars.”

Watch the Shelby American 500 on Sunday, February 28, at 3 p.m. ET on FOX.
