sweetFrog Teams Up with BK Racing, David Ragan
Huntersville, NC (PRWEB) April 18, 2016 -- BK Racing recently announced that sweetFrog premium frozen yogurt will be sponsoring David Ragan and the No. 23 sweetFrog Toyota Camry for the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Raceway.
The race scheduled for April 24th represents sweetFrog’s NASCAR debut. sweetFrog is a Richmond, VA based, national frozen yogurt franchise that was recently named the #1 Frozen Yogurt Shop in the US by the Daily Meal. Since their 2009 inception, sweetFrog has grown to more than 350 locations in the US and abroad – serving customers in 25 states, the United Kingdom and the Dominican Republic.
“I am excited to have sweetFrog on our Toyota for Richmond,” said Ragan. “Richmond is one of my favorite races of the year, and the Sunday afternoon event will be a new challenge for our team. sweetFrog is my family's go to spot for frozen yogurt. Let me put it this way – I am thrilled about this partnership, but my excitement pales in comparison to my daughter Julia’s face when we walk into sweetFrog!”
“As a team with such strong Richmond ties, we are proud to have sweetFrog join BK Racing for the upcoming Toyota Owners 400,” said Doug Fritz, CMO of BK Racing. “
"We are thrilled to partner with David Ragan and BK Racing for the spring race in sweetFrog’s hometown,” said Patrick Galleher, CEO of sweetFrog. “Our shared commitment to family and community make the partnership a perfect fit.”
David Ragan will make a personal appearance at the Atlee-based sweetFrog location (10040 Sliding Hill Rd, Ashland, VA) on Friday, April 22 to commemorate the partnership and raise funds for the local Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club. Richmond residents and all race fans are encouraged to visit sweetFrog from 7-9PM this Friday (April 22) to meet Ragan, enjoy their favorite sweetFrog creation and take home a limited edition sweetFrog racing T-shirt and signed limited edition David Ragan hero card. sweetFrog will donate 25% of all sales from 7PM to close to the Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club located in Richmond’s East End.
“We’re grateful to David Ragan and our friends at sweetFrog for their support of the empowering youth programming at our Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club,” said Major Timothy Carter of The Salvation Army. “We wish David and his team a safe and well-run race and are bless by sweetFrog’s partnership and support of the Salvation Army.”
