NASCAR Daytona 500 raceg carpet cleaner and a
top-ranked franchise system, is sponsoring NASCAR
Sprint Cup driver David Ragan's No. 34 Ford in
Sunday's Daytona 500, marking the company's first
association with the nation's fastest-growing
sport and an opportunity to introduce millions to
the Chem-Dry brand. Ragan's crew chief, Jay Guy,
is a new Chem-Dry franchise owner who plans to
open three locations soon in the Charlotte, N.C.,
area. Guy approached Chem-Dry home office staff
about sponsoring Ragan's car, one of three
entries in the race from Front Row Motorsports,
and the two sides quickly worked out a
deal. "We're excited to be associated with
NASCAR and Front Row Motorsports. This is a
tremendous chance for Chem-Dry to increase its
profile on racing's biggest stage," said Dan
Tarantin, president and CEO of Harris Research
Inc., Chem-Dry's parent company. "Our sponsorship
also illustrates our commitment to our franchise
owners and receptiveness to their ideas. We're
committed to helping all our owners develop
robust client bases and maximize their
profitability."

advertising and other materials the two parties
are open to Chem-Dry sponsoring Front Row cars in
other Sprint Cup races this year, including the
Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte on May 27. "We're a
small, relatively new, emerging team, and this is
just one more partner we have in our portfolio
that's an emerging company. That seems to be the
best fit as far as sponsorship partners for Front
Row," said Jerry Freeze, Front Row Motorsports'
general manager. "For us, it just further
validates our approach to seek sponsorships from
emerging brands. Chem-Dry is the leading
carpet-cleaning brand, so it's good for us to
have that affiliation."David Ragan chem-dry
