Pengilly, MN — (March 21, 2014) — Dan Motter, owner of the Motter Equipment HE&M Saw Beltline Body Shop 71M World of Outlaws Sprint Car driven by Joey Saldana, today announced that Mine Rite Technologies will join the team as an associate sponsor.
“We have had a business-to-business relationship with Mine Rite Technologies for about five years now,” said Motter. “We purchase large water tanks and spray systems from them to convert large mining trucks into huge water trucks for the mining industry.
“John D’Amico and Dennis Frank, the two principals of Mine Rite, were in Chico last year when Joey won. They were so excited about the race team that they wanted to be a part of it.
“Mine Rite Technologies is a great supplier to our company,” continued Motter, “and we are very happy to have them join our list of enthusiastic race team sponsors.”
Mine Rite Technologies, LLC is based in Buffalo, Wyoming, and provides specialty attachments for large mining and construction equipment that include off-highway truck bodies, water tanks, shovel and loader buckets, certified weldments, and more. For additional information, visit www.minerite.com.
“John saw his first races at Baylands Raceway when he lived in California in the1980’s and has followed it since,” said Dennis Frank, Mine Rite’s director of sales. “He introduced me to it a couple of years ago in Edmonton, AB, Canada then we followed the circuit down through Montana and Wyoming that year and I was hooked. We’re proud to be associated with the Motter Racing Team and look forward to following them through many successful seasons in the future.”
The Motter team finished fourth in 2013 World of Outlaws point standings in its freshman season. They have won an All-Star event this season in Barberville, Fla. and have earned three quick times in World of Outlaws regular season racing. Saldana has amassed more bonus points than any other driver this season.
