ORANGE, Calif. - April 6, 2006 -- All-American Girl Racing (AAGR) announced today it has signed a sponsorship agreement with SoBe Life Water for the 2006 off-road race season. The team’s first race is this Saturday, April 8, in Primm, Nevada.
SoBe Life Water will partner with AAGR as the team’s official refueling beverage. AAGR is the first and only all female race team to compete in SNORE, MDR, and SCORE International Off-Road racing events, including the treacherous Baja 500 and the infamous Baja 1000. AAGR consists of six women with a long history in the dirt; Heather Bonanni, Lori Lynch, Cari Penhall, Jamie Nye, and sisters Robyn and Beccy Gordon. Robyn will be defending her title as the only female to have won the Baja 1000 Overall.
“The new SoBe Life Water is proud to be associated with the new All-American Girl Racing team,” said Ken Haislip, West Division Sales Manager, SoBe Beverages. “We think it’s a great partnership that makes natural sense … desert racing and SoBe Life Water.”
To launch the SoBe Life Water sponsorship, AAGR appeared on the KROQ-FM Kevin & Bean Morning Show, Thursday, April 6, between 6-9 a.m.
“Having a sponsor like SoBe Life Water is the perfect combination for our team,” said Beccy Gordon, team representative and driver. “Every girl on this team is committed to living a healthy lifestyle with an aggressive edge and SoBe Life Water enables us to do so, and will nourish us on our thirst-inducing desert adventures. I look forward to expanding our involvement with SoBe Life Water and enjoying their beverage on and off the track.”
Together with SoBe Life Water, All-American Girl Racing promises to be the dirtiest girls in the dirt!
