Great Support Heading Into 2012 Summer – Stinger Sponsors

Stinger monster truckRettew Motorsports shop, Lancaster, PA-Rettew Motorsports is proud to announce a busy summer schedule as well as some exciting team news. It is shaping up to be a busy and exciting second half of 2012 for the team, with new sponsorship, great new fans, and even a new truck on the way.

“The support we’ve gotten recently is tremendous,” owner/driver Zane Rettew said. “I am more excited to be behind the wheel now than ever, and with companies like Pristine Auto, Exhaust Pros, Clutch and Driveshaft, Alliance Equipment, CPS Graphix, and ProThings, it makes life that much easier on us to run the way we want.”

Indeed, that’s quite the list of sponsors. After a recent trip to the Make a Wish Truck Convoy in his home state of Pennsylvania, Rettew and family set to work getting more parts ready for the assembly of a team truck to Stinger, which Rettew is hoping to have ready towards the end of 2012.
