KROGER HELPS AMBROSE WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES

Written on the 24th of January 2010

JTG Daugherty Racing officials announced today that The Kroger Company, the nation’s largest traditional grocery retailer and world’s largest florist, will be the primary sponsor for Marcos Ambrose and the #47 Toyota Camry team during the world-famous 52nd running of the Daytona 500 in Daytona Beach, Florida on February 14.

This year, NASCAR’s biggest and most prestigious race happens to fall on Valentine’s Day, February 14. To recognise the traditional day of love, Kroger is running a special floral paint scheme of red roses on Ambrose’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series entry as a reminder that they offer floral arrangements and gifts for every occasion. You can order flowers with ease by calling 1-800-900-6575 or visiting www.Kroger.com.

“Kroger and our family of stores are excited to bring the Daytona 500 closer to our customers and race fans this year,” said Don Becker, Executive Vice President of Kroger.

“Sponsoring Marcos in the race on Valentine’s Day is particularly thrilling since Kroger sells more roses that day than any other florist in the world.”
