MOORESVILLE, N.C. – SUPERSEAL Construction Products will once again sponsor Matt Kenseth and the No. 8 Pathfinder Chassis team on Aug. 16 at Madison Int’l Speedway during the Howie Lettow Classic 100.
The relationship between SUPERSEAL and Kenseth began with a bang on July 9 when Kenseth won his record-extending eighth Slinger Nationals at Slinger Super Speedway with a dramatic last-corner pass to win the event SUPERSEAL has sponsored since 2009.
“It’s great to have SUPERSEAL back on board in Madison,” said Kenseth, who has recorded 27 feature victories at Madison, his home track. “They picked up the sponsorship at the last minute before Slinger, and I’d say that worked out well for both of us. Ted and SUPERSEAL have been a big supporter of short track racing all over the U.S. for many years—they even supported Ross (Kenseth’s son) in the past. It’s always good to be able to carry a new sponsor to victory lane, and that was certainly gratifying to do so at Slinger, in an event they’ve supported for the past 11 years.”
Ted Hubert, president of SUPERSEAL, arranged to sponsor Kenseth’s car in the 11th hour after learning of its availability from Slinger Speedway promoter Todd Thelen.
“The stars aligned for us at Slinger,” said Hubert. “I was trying to get the SUPERSEAL logo on someone’s car and I reached out to Travis Dassow, who does a lot of the car decals for the teams, and found out he wasn’t driving this year. So, I called Todd and he informs me that Matt’s car might be available. It was and the rest is history. I’ve tried for so long to win that race, and then to have everything happen the way it did — to get on Matt’s car just two days before the race and then have him win… that was really special to me. I’m proud to be back on his car for Madison as I know win, lose or draw, he’ll be a great ambassador for the brand.”
