COLUMBIA, SC, Sep 17 (MARKET WIRE) --
Leading motorsports management and marketing firm Racing Aces Marketing
L.L.C. has signed racing's "Triple Crown" winner and former Rookie of the
Year NASCAR star J.J. Yeley for all areas of personal management,
licensing and merchandising, promotions, and personal appearances. The
South Carolina-based racing rep organization -- whose clients include top
race teams, renowned media personalities and many of racing's highest
profile athletes -- brings Yeley aboard as the celebrated NASCAR luminary
sets his sights on a fourth season in NASCAR Sprint Cup competition.
Said Doug Ames, President of Racing Aces Marketing: "From being the
youngest driver ever to qualify for the Indianapolis 500 to his triple
victories winning the Midget, Sprint and Silver Crown championships, J.J.
Yeley possesses an extraordinary track record of success that has
translated to the corporate sponsorship world. Whether on or off the
track, J.J. is a positive role model with a distinguished professional
career. He is a hugely sought-after corporate and product spokesperson."
As marketing rep for Yeley, Racing Aces will focus on companies seeking to
harness the limitless power of motorsports to market their products.
Racing Aces will also identify and secure promotional sponsorships for
Yeley's NASCAR competitions, explore licensing and merchandising
opportunities with manufacturers in a wide range of categories and book
the racing star for speaking engagements and personal appearances.
Son of Midget racing legend "Cactus" Jack Yeley, J.J. Yeley has made his
way through the ranks to the top tier of stock car racing. J.J., 31, has
seen his stock soar from his beginnings as the youngest driver in Sprint
Cup Racing Association's history. At 21, J.J. was (at the time) the
youngest driver ever to qualify for the Indianapolis 500, where he netted
an impressive top-10 finish. In 2003, J.J. went on to have arguably the
best USAC season ever with 24 wins! He accomplished the "Triple Crown,"
winning the Midget, Sprint, and Silver Crown championships (joining the
exclusive company of Tony Stewart as the only other person to do so). J.J.
then made the same jump that Tony Stewart did and joined Joe Gibbs Racing
in 2004. In 2006 he became a full time Sprint Cup driver for JGR's #18.
2008 was J.J.'s third season in the Sprint Cup NASCAR Series. He boasts
seven career top tens, two top fives (with a career best 2nd at the 2007
Coca-Cola 600), and one career poll (2007 Citizens Bank 400).
Headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina, Racing Aces Marketing L.L.C.
