“Pulls Double Duty, Making NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Debut in Inaugural Race”
The 20-year-old Fordham University junior has been racing for nearly 13 years and PepsiCo was there from the start. Pepsi’s Mountain Dew brand served as his first official sponsor while competing in the ¼ midgets at the age of 7.
“To have Pepsi MAX on board as the sponsor of this, my very first NASCAR Camping World Truck race, at Pocono, means the world to me. They were with me when I started racing 13 years ago, and to have them with me this weekend is an incredible honor,” Chase commented. “Pepsi has supported me and my family for years, and I hope I can put the #64 Pepsi Max Chevy Silverado in Victory Lane, this weekend in my NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut,” Chase concluded.
“Pepsi has thoroughly enjoyed our long-standing relationship with the Mattioli family and Pocono Raceway and couldn’t be prouder to ride along with Chase this weekend. We were there when he started racing 1/4 midgets and we’re thrilled to be riding with Chase for his NASCAR Camping World Truck series debut,” said Liam Fuller, VP Marketing, Pepsi Beverages Company.
Chase will pull double duty at Pocono this weekend, competing in the NASCAR Camping World Series event at 1:00pm, then strapping into his #17 Roulo Brothers ARCA car for the ARCA Weis Markets 125 at 3:00pm. Both events will be televised live on Speed Channel.
