HOPE AND THE MOHEGAN SUN/VROOM RACING TEAM TO DEBUT STARK MOTOR RACING/IRON MAN 2 BUELL

“Brian Bozsum, the Mohegan Sun Racing Marketing Director, announced Monday March 2nd, the partnership plans between Mohegan Sun Racing and Royal Purple Oil to promote the release of the new Iron Man 2 movie, opening in theatres on May 7, 2010.  “We will be running a Mohegan Sun/Royal Purple Special Edition of the Stark Motor Racing Buell for the first five races of the season” Bozsum said. Please visit the Royal Purple Stark Motor Racing Website for more info@ http://www.starkmotorracing.com/

“NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle rider David Hope will be our Stark Motor Racing Iron Man 2 rider and he definitely fits the bill”, Bozsum stated.  “David is very dedicated to fitness and has a daily rigorous workout regiment.  As you will see at the track, it has paid huge dividends leaving him without an ounce of body fat”.  “You combine that Iron Man fitness look and his persona and what you end up with is a real life Iron Man, no sequel needed”.

Bozsum continued, “the talks of a partnership with Royal Purple’s Stark Motor Racing Buell started a couple of months ago with Patrick Burris, Motorsports Marketing Coordinator of Royal Purple Oil.  The Mohegan Sun team has maintained a great relationship with Patrick and the Royal Purple Oil family as an associate sponsor for the past several years.  That relationship has now blossomed into this great opportunity for David and the team.  We take pride in the fact that Royal Purple Oil has chosen our team to promote their products as well as the Iron Man 2 movie”.

"When rumor of the Stark Motor Racing Buell promotion came to my attention I was pumped up.  I felt like a kid getting his first comic book or action figure.  I feel I can embody the experience, and represent The Mohegan Sun/Royal Purple Special Edition bike with pride.  I'm looking forward to the moment, and I think we're going to have a lot of fun with this, exclaimed an excited David Hope".
 
Hope continued, "I was already a big fan of the original Iron Man movie.  Now I can be a true advocate for Iron Man 2.  I couldn't think of a better way to start the season than riding the Stark Motor Racing Buell, with the backing of Mohegan Sun and Royal Purple Oil.  I'm excited for our race debut in Gainesville, and I'll definitely be at the theatre on May 7th for the release of Iron Man 2."
