Bowl Expo captures checkered flag with Dale Earnhardt Jr.
01/30/09
The bowling industry is revving up for its premier annual convention and trade show this year at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, June 21-25. The International Bowl Expo (IBE09) will be as busy as pit road with the scheduled appearance by Dale Earnhardt Jr. to welcome the industry to the venue, Monday, June 22.
The 34 year-old Earnhardt (pictured right) is a third-generation driver in a family forever connected to the sport of stock-car racing. After winning the 1998 and 1999 NASCAR Nationwide Series titles, Earnhardt became the only third-generation NASCAR champion.
He follows his legendary father, Dale Earnhardt Sr., a seven-time Cup champion and winner of 76 Cup Series races and his grandfather, Ralph Earnhardt, the 1956 NASCAR Sportsman champion, and 2007 National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame inductee. Combined, the Earnhardt family has 10 NASCAR championships.
Dale's flair for originality and common-sense charisma has helped propel him to one of the most popular figures in sports. Race fans have selected him six times as the winner of NASCAR's Most Popular Driver award. And his appeal is not just limited to race fans.
He has appeared numerously on Harris Interactive's annual polling of America's Top 10 Favorite Athletes, frequenting the list with such names as Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Brett Favre and Derek Jeter.
In a recent Forbes Magazine poll, Earnhardt was listed among the top-five athletes in corporate endorsements; in May, 2004, RACER magazine noted him as one of the most influential persons in sports; and in 2007 the Charlotte Observer called him one of the top-10 most powerful people in NASCAR.
This year will be Earnhardt's 10th racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and his #88 Chevrolet will hit the tracks sporting the colors of Pepsi Cola's Amp Energy brand and the Army National Guard.
The International Bowl Expo is the bowling industry's premier annual convention and trade show featuring nearly 800 exhibits and approximately 300 companies showcasing a wide-array of products and services. There will also be 50 seminars and workshops on the latest trends, marketing ideas, profit center opportunities, and tools to help owners, operators and managers build their businesses and spread the excitement of bowling throughout their communities.
Sponsors who make IBE09 possible include Pepsi-Cola, the official soft drink of bowling; Anheuser-Busch; Brunswick, North Pointe Insurance Group and QubicaAMF Worldwide.
