It was also announced that BGR will feature the company as the primary sponsor in six ARCA RE/MAX Series events in 2007 as they compete for the RE/MAX Series national championship, including the two stops at Pocono Raceway, the closest superspeedway to BGR’s home base.  

For BGR, which is headquartered in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, the partnership makes sense on several levels.  

“With ARCA running two races right in both of our backyards it offers us an opportunity to give Eagle Warranty great exposure in our home state of Pennsylvania,” said Bobby Gerhart. “More importantly, ARCA has a tremendous following throughout the country, which gives Eagle Warranty access to millions of potential customers.”  

Eagle Warranty will also serve as an associate sponsor on the team’s #5 Chevrolet Monte Carlos for the remaining 17 races of the 23-race RE/MAX Series schedule.  

“We are very excited to be partnering with a team the caliber of BGR,” said Sean Fadden, Vice-President of Eagle Warranty Corp. “We look forward to success both on and off the track. This will help take our company to the next level.”  

Bobby Gerhart Racing, celebrating its 20th year in the ARCA RE/MAX Series in 2007, is coming off its most successful season to date, winning its fourth ARCA 200 at Daytona in 2006 after capturing a record fourth consecutive pole award. Through it all, Bobby Gerhart finished a career-high second in national championship points in '06 and earned his 100th career top-10 finish. No doubt, the team has a huge amount of momentum heading into the 2007 season.   

“We accomplished a lot in 2006,” said Gerhart. “But with the addition of Eagle Warranty we feel we have another piece of the puzzle in place to make a serious run for the championship.” 

Renowned for their restrictor plate savvy, the Gerhart’s took advantage of a three-day ARCA RE/MAX Series open test at Daytona Int'l Speedway in December, where the restrictor plate wizards timed in fourth quickest among a record 77 drivers that tested. Not completely satisfied, BGR is headed back south for more restrictor plate testing at Talladega Superspeedway in late January - all this in preparation for the 44th annual ARCA 200 at Daytona Saturday afternoon, February 10, LIVE on SPEED at 4 pm ET. 

“Don’t get me wrong,” said Bobby’s brother and crew chief Billy Gerhart. “The test went extremely well at Daytona. We learned a lot. But we’re still undecided as to which car is going to be our primary car at Daytona. We may use the same car we won with last year, or, we have another really nice machine, a near replica of last year’s Daytona winner, that we’re still considering. After the test in Talladega, we'll make that final call as to which car we’re using. But we need one more test before we feel we can make that call. We’re very excited about the new season. And we certainly want to thank Eagle Warranty for their support and believing in our program, which we feel is very solid.”
