PHOENIX, March 11, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sprouts Farmers Market joins NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racing with Cole Whitt and his No. 35 Ford in the company's home state of Arizona this week. The healthy grocery store will be the primary sponsor of Whitt's Ford Fusion at Phoenix International Raceway this weekend for the CampingWorld.com 500.
The 23-year-old Whitt is committed to living a healthy lifestyle and proud to partner with Sprouts for the CampingWorld.com 500. "Sprouts Farmers Market is a perfect partner for me because I always try to eat healthy," said Whitt. "Being on the road every weekend, it can be hard to find healthy options, but Sprouts makes it easy to stock up on produce and other foods for the weekend. They have quite a few stores in the Phoenix area, so I'll be sure to stop at one of them on my way to the track."
"The Sprouts team is thrilled to support Cole this weekend right here in our home state. Cole inspires millions of race fans across the country in the same way we aim to inspire healthy living for all," said Maggie Fearnow, Sprouts senior marketing director. "We're proud to sponsor a driver who is as committed to healthy living as our Phoenix-based team."
