INDIANAPOLIS, Monday, July 21, 2008 AAA Hoosier Motor Club announced July 21 that AAA Hoosier Insurance will be recognized as a Proud Sponsor of the inaugural Red Bull Indianapolis GP MotoGP event on Sunday, Sept. 14 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The three-year agreement reinforces AAA Hoosier Motor Club’s existing relationship with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and will keep the 405,000-member club in the forefront of race-related activities in the Indianapolis metropolitan area as well as throughout the state. “We’re pleased that AAA Hoosier Motor Club is increasing its involvement with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway through this partnership,” said Joie Chitwood, IMS president and chief operating officer. “This exciting inaugural MotoGP event at IMS will present a unique audience of enthusiasts to which AAA can present its products and important message of safety.” AAA initially signed on as the Official Auto Club, the Official Travel Agency and the Official Auto Insurance Company of the Indianapolis 500 in December 2005. In March 2007, AAA Hoosier Motor Club signed popular IndyCar Series driver Sarah Fisher to a three-year contract that made her the official spokesperson for AAA Hoosier Insurance. “We’re very excited to be associated with what should prove to be an outstanding event that will most certainly bring additional recognition to the city of Indianapolis,” said Gary Michelson, senior vice president, insurance & marketing for AAA Hoosier Motor Club. “But even more importantly, involvement with the Red Bull Indianapolis GP provides us with yet another forum to stress the importance of practicing safe driving habits to both AAA members and non-members alike.” The Red Bull Indianapolis GP will be the 14th of 18 races on the 2008 MotoGP schedule and should play a crucial role in the season championship. *** Red Bull Indianapolis GP tickets: Tickets are on sale for the inaugural Red Bull Indianapolis GP on Sept. 14, 2008.
