Rockstar/Makita LeDuc Racing looks forward to another strong season in 2010
MARCH 22, 2010 – La Mirada, CA – Makita Industrial Power Tools and LeDuc Racing have agreed to a third straight year of partnership in short course off-road racing. Makita joins Rockstar Energy as primary co-sponsors of Rockstar Makita LeDuc Racing.
Rockstar Makita Racing ended the 2009 season with a strong finish, and the team is looking forward to carrying the winning momentum and partnership into 2010.
“The LeDucs are on the podium, race after race, but that’s not the whole story,” said Brent Withey, Makita senior brand manager. “They build their own trucks, drive their own rig to the races, and then they race their trucks. The LeDucs do it all – they’re the real deal.”
“To have Makita on board for a third straight year means a lot to us,” said Curt LeDuc. “Makita’s quality, commitment and leadership in the power tool industry also extends to off-road racing. This partnership is great for us and for short course off-road racing.”
