Nashville, Tenn. – EntertainMax Worldwide, Inc., a company partly owned by eMax Holdings Corporation (OTC: EMXC), announces they have teamed up with Hoosier Thunder Motorsports Inc. and C. TradeUSA (a division of C. Trade Group) to make music with a Top Fuel team. The sound of a Top Fuel Dragster cackling to life is music to the ears for a lot of drag racing fans. With a 500 cubic inch hemi band in the background, Hoosier Thunder Motorsports and EntertainMax Worldwide, Inc. will make music with a Top Fuel team for the 2006 race season.
“This is a unique opportunity that we are extremely excited about,” stated Terry McMillen, Hoosier Thunder Motorsports owner. “Thanks to Evan Knoll I was able to prove last season that I could drive the dragster and immediately began looking for a sponsor that could build on our partnerships with Amalie Oil and Torco Race Fuels. With the addition of EntertainMax we have the support necessary to field a championship-contending team.”
“We’re both in the entertainment business,” explained Chuck Weber, CEO / President, EntertainMax. “We feel like this is an outstanding way to increase our brand awareness and highlight our diverse capabilities.”
Julie Wildgoose of Full Service Automotive Marketing and Licensing Agency spent the winter meeting with Nick Kontonicolas. Kontonicolas is CEO of C Trade USA , a worldwide investment and consulting firm based in New York. “I have worked with Julie on other projects and met Terry at the World Finals in Rockingham,” explained Kontonicolas. “I was immediately impressed with Terry’s driving and the way he managed his racing team,” added Kontonicolas (who happens to be an avid automotive expert and collector). “I knew immediately that their team and IHRA Drag Racing would offer our companies a distinct and exceptional chance to use motorsports marketing to promote our companies. It was only a matter of time before we found the perfect fit with EMax Corp. It further illustrates C. Trade Group’s expertise in consolidating and utilizing the synergies of its divisions and joint venture companies.”
The EntertainMax / Hoosier Thunder Motorsports Top Fuel entry will compete in the IHRA Drag Racing series and a limited NHRA POWERade schedule. While McMillen and Weber are excited about the announcement, both know that the Top Fuel car is just the beginning of what will be done to showcase the expansive reach of EntertainMax. McMillen added, “There are a lot of layers to this sponsorship. As we unveil more of this relationship, it will become apparent this is one of the more unique partnership in the motorsports industry.” Weber agreed, “Our EMAX family of companies have expansive reach, we intend on using all of our resources to promote our relationship with Terry and the Hoosier Thunder Motorsports team.”
