Kernersville, N.C. (June 27, 2007) – Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI) announced today that they have extended their partnership with Camping World. The Bowling Green , Ky. based company will be the primary sponsor on the No. 33 NASCAR Truck Series entry, driven by two-time Truck Series champion Ron Hornaday, for the 2008 season.
“It is always important to have sponsors that are behind your programs, and Camping World has supported KHI this season in both the Truck and Busch Series,” said Kevin Harvick , co-owner of KHI. “They share the same passion and dedication for this sport that we do and I can't think of a better partner for Ron Hornaday and the No. 33 Truck Series team. DeLana and I are thrilled they have decided to continue their partnership with KHI in 2008.”
