INDIANAPOLIS (Oct. 21, 2013) – For the last three months, Bad Boy Buggies®, a leader in off-road utility vehicles for hunting and outdoor recreation, partnered with Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) in the “Win The King’s Ride” promotion and, today, one lucky fan was chosen from more than 11,000 entries.
David Moore, a current resident of Quincy, Mich., was selected as the winner of the one-of-a-kind, Steve Kinser-themed Recoil iS off-road vehicle. In addition, Moore and a guest will join TSR’s Steve Kinser and Steve Kinser Racing’s Kraig Kinser for the Nov. 7-9 World of Outlaws (WoO) STP Sprint Car Series season-ending World Finals at The Dirt Track @ Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway.
In a special presentation during the Saturday (Nov. 9) opening ceremonies at Charlotte with Steve and Kraig Kinser, and Eric Bondy, Vice President, Consumer Business for Bad Boy Buggies, Moore will receive the keys to the customized Recoil iS, which resembles Kinser’s TSR No. 11 Bad Boy Buggies/J.D. Byrider/Chevrolet Performance Maxim.
“We’re really excited with the results of this promotion,” Bondy said. “This is our first year being involved with Steve and Tony Stewart Racing and we couldn’t be happier. We really wanted to engage with the tremendously loyal fan base of the World of Outlaws. There have been a lot of people talking about this Steve Kinser Recoil iS. I can’t wait to meet David and see how excited he is when we give him the keys.”
Bad Boy Buggies is backed by the resources and capabilities of E-Z-GO and its parent company, Textron Inc., a Fortune 500 manufacturer known worldwide for its powerful brands and products such as Cessna aircraft, Bell helicopters, and Greenlee tools. Bad Boy Buggies is a recognized leader developing models and innovations that have revolutionized the way outdoor enthusiasts use utility vehicles.
“This has been a fun promotion,” said Kinser, the 20-time WoO STP Sprint Car Series champion. “We’ve had so many people ask about these Bad Boy Buggies this year. I have had the opportunity to use one both at our property at home and at the track. I know David is going to be thrilled having his own customized RECOIL iS.”
The World Finals will also serve as the second event where Bad Boy Buggies serves as primary sponsor on SKR’s No. 11k Sprint car driven by the 2004 WoO STP Sprint Car Series Rookie of the Year. Kinser will be looking to close out the 2013 season on a solid note and see if he can better his career-best finish of second in the 2008 World Finals.
