Nexxus Lighting Set to Sponsor TBR at Bristol

New Array™ Lighting brand of LED light bulbs are the “truly green” alternative to CFL light bulbs

“We are honored to sponsor Tommy Baldwin Racing for the Bristol race,” said Mike Bauer, President & CEO of Nexxus Lighting. “With the focus NASCAR is putting on their “green” initiatives, we decided that working with Tommy Baldwin and his small business platform to support growing companies was a great place to promote our new Array™ Lighting brand of LED light bulbs. NASCAR is a leader in creating brand awareness and Tommy Baldwin and his team, like all upstart companies, are driven to perform at the highest level. We are excited about the potential exposure for our company and our new Array™ Lighting products. We are hoping for a good qualifying run by Scott Riggs so that the car and our Array™ brand will have the good fortune to be featured in the Food City 500.”

Array™ Lighting is a new brand of commercial grade LED replacement lamps that utilize patent pending technology to offer a truly green alternative to conventional incandescent, halogen and compact fluorescent light bulbs. Array lamps are light weight, dimmable, reduce CO2 emissions and, unlike compact fluorescent light bulbs, do not contain mercury or create a hazardous waste disposal issue.

Additionally, Array™ lamps offer tremendous cost and energy saving which can amount to over 80 percent energy savings versus incandescent bulbs. More savings can be gained in avoiding lamp replacement costs due to the bulb’s 50,000 hour lamp life, as compared to only 1000-2000 hours for typical incandescent bulbs. Array bulbs can last over 10 years while being burned 12 hours a day.

“I am really excited to have Nexxus Lighting and their new Array™ Lighting brand on our car this weekend,” Baldwin said. I think they have some amazing products that can save American businesses a lot of money on their energy costs. Hopefully, we will have a good weekend and will make them proud to be part of our team.”
The Food City 500 will be televised live Sun., March 22nd beginning at 1:30 p.m. EST on FOX and will be broadcast live on PRN and Sirius/XM Satellite Radio.

Nexxus Lighting is a leader in advanced lighting technology, including solid-state LED and fiber optic lighting systems and controls used in commercial, architectural, signage, swimming pool, entertainment and retail lighting. Nexxus Lighting sells its products through its Commercial Lighting, Lumificient and Nexxus Lighting Pool & Spa divisions under the Array™ Lighting, Savi®, eLum™, LiveLED™, Super Vision® and Lumificient™ brand names.

Mooresville, N.C. (March 16, 2009) – MarkMartin.com has become the first sponsor to jump on board Tommy Baldwin’s Support Small Businesses of America program. The www.MarkMartin.com logo will adorn the c-post of the No. 36 machine this weekend during the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Additionally, NASCAR fans can visit www.tommybaldwinracing.net and receive Mark Martin’s 5th Annual Fan appreciation t-shirt for $7.50 which is half price for a limited time, only available on the TBR site.

“I just wanted to help a fellow racer,” Martin said. “I think this is a great opportunity to get involved and I encourage others to follow my lead, including other drivers.”

The 27-year NASCAR Sprint Cup Series veteran will hold his 5th Annual Fan Appreciation Day April 9-10 at Mark Martin Ford Mercury dealership in Batesville, Ark. Martin, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart and championship car owner Rick Hendrick will be on hand during the event to sign autographs and to participate in a Q&A session.

“I am very grateful that Mark (Martin) is helping us jump start our Support Small Businesses of America program,” Baldwin said. “I think his support shows how much other people in this sport want us to be successful. I appreciate his help and I hope other businesses follow his lead to make this program successful.”

The Support Small Businesses of America program was developed to grant small businesses the opportunity to support Tommy Baldwin Racing for a very nominal fee. They get the chance to run their corporate logo on the racecar and receive two VIP passes for the race. Additionally, they get the opportunity to offer race fans their services or merchandise at a free or reduced rate through the TBR website.
