O.U.P.S. Partners With NASCAR Driver Joey Logano
(February 2010)
NASCAR Rookie of the Year Joey Logano knows the importance of safety and being prepared. Early in his first season he was nearly taken out by a crash at Dover Raceway when his car spun off of and back on to the track. He was then hit, forcing his car into a spiral where he rolled seven times before landing on the roof of the No. 20 Home Depot car.
So in order to encourage safety, Ohio Utilities Protection Service, along with ten other states, has renewed its contract with the 2009 Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year. The deal includes new print, radio and television ads that feature Logano and the 8-1-1 Call Before You Dig campaign.
Logano’s premier season was undoubtedly a season to remember. He took 26 Rookie of the Race honors in just 36 races and ended the season with one victory, three top-five and seven top-10 finishes, making starts in all 36 Sprint Cup events.
Logano’s win came in the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire making him the youngest winner in Sprint Cup history. In Sprint point standings he finished 20th after starting 43rd at the beginning of the year, sliding ahead of all the other rookies and racing greats like Dale Earnhardt Jr., Eliott Sadler and Michael Waltrip.
In the Nationwide series he finished 14th and had five wins, 13 top-five and 16 top 10 finishes.
O.U.P.S. is proud to partner with this future NASCAR legend to promote safe digging!
