ServiceMaster Clean Returns for Second Season as Official Sponsor of the Caution Period

Filed under Press Releases, Sprint Cup Series

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (January 27, 2010) – ServiceMaster Clean, well known internationally for its cleaning and restoration services, returns in 2010 for its second season as the official sponsor of caution periods at the 19 International Speedway Corp. (ISC) and Speedway Motorsports Inc. (SMI) tracks, as well as Dover International Speedway.

“Our initial year was an unqualified success,” said Jim Wassell, chief marketing officer for ServiceMaster Clean.  “We are looking forward to building on the awareness, relationships and momentum established in 2009.  Our partnership with ISC, SMI and Dover has truly exceeded our expectations.”

In 2009, there were 305 cautions during the 36-race NASCAR Sprint Cup Series regular season.  When there was a yellow flag at participating tracks (Pocono and Indianapolis are not participants in the program), the familiar ServiceMaster Clean yellow vehicles were dispatched to clean and restore the track.

As it was during the inaugural season, the second year of a multi-year agreement is not limited to the ServiceMaster Clean caution periods on the track.  Included is coverage on the Motor Racing Network and Performance Racing Network, hospitality events for franchise owners and guests, the right to create and sell promotional merchandise and a host of other marketing opportunities designed to generate consistent visibility.

In racing, the yellow flag means track clean-up, and restoration must be done quickly and professionally in order to get back to racing.  In homes and businesses across North America, a yellow ServiceMaster Clean van means cleaning and restoration is being done quickly and professionally by America’s number one cleaning team.

With more than 4,500 franchise locations around the world, ServiceMaster Clean serves customers through a global network of franchises that provide janitorial services, commercial carpet cleaning, hard surface floor care, residential carpet and upholstery cleaning, and disaster restoration services. The company has been a market leader for more than 60 years. For more information, visit www.servicemasterclean.com.
