East Coast Race Trucks Announces Sponsorship

13 April 1998

Atlantic City, NJ-- East Coast Race Trucks, the East Coast distributor for the American Truck Series, has signed on as a full sponsor of RACING CONNECTION, Southern New Jersey's weekly motorsports television program.

Based in Vineland, New Jersey, East Coast Race Trucks is owned and operated by South Jersey residents Bob Gelsi and Roland Morrison, both longtime motorsports enthusiasts. East Coast Race Trucks are affordable race-ready, American-made Chevy, Dodge and Ford pick-up trucks, available to go racing for as little as $12,500.

Located at Gelsi's Mustang World, 3576 Nothwest Boulevard in Vineland, New Jersey, East Coast Race Trucks can also assist buyers with full-service, race-friendly financing at 609-696-TRUC.

In addition to sales and financing, owners Gelsi and Morrison have plans to develop a full-fledged regional racing series for the pick-up trucks, with a debut scheduled for June 6 at New Jersey's legendary Flemington Speedway.

Race fans, drivers, team owners and interested buyers can visit the ECRT website @ "www.eastcoastracetrucks.com".

" Our sponsorship on RACING CONNECTION is a natural for us," owner Bob Gelsi said. " The American Race Truck Series is exciting, affordable and has been developed for the race fans; and across Southern New Jersey we want maximum exposure as we build our business and the racing series. The association with Jack Stanton's television show will be good for us, RACING CONNECTION and the great race fans in South Jersey."

East Coast Race Trucks joins Melini Brothers Service Center of Vineland, NJ; Compton Chrysler-Dodge of Egg Harbor City, NJ; Atlantic County Harley-Davidson of Galloway Twp., NJ, along with LIT Stitches Custom Embroidery and One-Hour Photo of Bridgeton, NJ as sponsors of RACING CONNECTION.
