Olympia Steel Buildings to sponsor Petty cars

MCKEES ROCKS, Pa. -- Olympia Steel Buildings on Monday announced that the company has entered an agreement with Petty Enterprises to be the "Official Steel Building" of Petty Enterprises and an associate sponsor for drivers Bobby Labonte and Kyle Petty for the 2007 Nextel Cup season.

"Olympia Steel Buildings is pleased to extend our involvement in NASCAR and partner with Petty Enterprises, an organization that exemplifies success, quality and integrity on and off the racetrack," said Arnold Davis, president of Olympia Steel Buildings. "We plan to connect with Nextel Cup fans beginning with the Daytona 500 in February, with the goal of becoming the official steel building provider for fans across the country."

Under the agreement with Petty Enterprises, the Olympia Steel Buildings logo will be featured on the uniform sleeve of both Bobby Labonte and Kyle Petty. In addition, discounts for Olympia Steel Buildings will be given to 2007 Richard Petty Driving Experience participants and NASCAR fans who are visitors to Olympia's Web site, www.olympiabuildings.com.

Petty Enterprises had a resurgent year in 2006, with Bobby Labonte finishing 21st in Nextel Cup points with eight top-10s during the season.

Kyle Petty finished 32nd in Nextel Cup points in 2006, but his most important victory was continued success of the Victory Junction Gang, the year-round camp for children he founded in 2004.
