Portland, OR (April 4, 2018)
The Oregon Trail Rally (OTR) is happy to announce that MTN DEW KICKSTART will return as a presenting sponsor for 2018. The energy drink company will continue their support of Stage Rally in Oregon after first presenting the event last year.
Introduced in 2013, MTN DEW KICKSTART brings innovation and a wide range of flavors to the energy drink market. Available in stores across the country, the drink combines the classic citrus kick of MTN DEW with the energy enhancing properties that Stage Rally drivers need to have a successful event weekend. With interests in several sports including Basketball, Stock Car Racing, and Stage Rally, MTN DEW KICKSTART continues its longtime support of the Oregon Trail Rally.
“We’re really pleased to have MTN DEW KICKSTART return for a second year as a presenting sponsor,” said Doug Heredos, Chairman of the Oregon Trail Rally.” The high energy, high excitement, extreme sport of Stage Rally fits well with the energy drink brand. And having not one, but two, presenting sponsors this year really shows how much our sport is growing.”
MTN DEW KICKSTART joins Wilsonville Subaru as presenting sponsor for the 2018 Oregon Trail Rally. Both sponsors will appear on all event branding, including the rally's logo and any works affiliated with OTR. Effectively immediately, OTR 2018 will be known as the Oregon Tail Rally presented by Wilsonville Subaru and MTN DEW KICKSTART.
The Oregon Trail Rally tests drivers and machines to the limit over 3 days of competition from April 20-22nd and is Round 1 of the American Rally Association National Championship Series. The racing action starts on multi-surface spectator friendly stages at Portland International Raceway and continues to the fast flowing technical roads of Goldendale, Washington and Dufur, Oregon in the majestic Columbia Gorge.
The 2018 Oregon Trail Rally Presented by Wilsonville Subaru and Mtn dew kickstart is also supported by Subaru of America, Inc., O'Reilly Auto Parts, DirtFish, Trackside Motorsports, Primitive Racing, EXEDY USA, subaruparts.com, and Compass Micro.
