Micro Strategies, an award-winning technology company, has announced the primary sponsorship of two-time Mello Yellow NHRA Champion Tony Pedregon’s Nitro Funny Car at the upcoming Pep Boys Carolina Nationals (September 12-14), and the NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway (October 2-5).

Micro Strategies (www.microstrat.com), an IBM and Microsoft business partner, will harness the 10,000 horsepower of motorsports’ most powerful cars, and in the process, present its brand to the massive NHRA drag racing audience. “Being a drag racer myself, it’s a natural progression for Micro Strategies to team up with Tony, who is a two-time NHRA Funny Car World Champion and great representative of the sport,” said Anthony Bongiovanni, President and CEO of Micro Strategies. “Drag racing has helped us engage current and potential customers; they love the speed, power, and technology that surrounds NHRA drag racing. Our sponsorship serves as unique, high-impact platform to showcase Micro Strategies’ multitude of business solutions,” he added.

“Micro Strategies is a top performer providing technology solutions, and Anthony is a racer like myself. It’s great to partner with a person and a brand that understands the importance of reaching the NHRA audience. The car will be branded in a similar fashion to his stable of Cobra Jets that Anthony competes with, and I hope we don’t wheelstand quite as high,” said Tony Pedgreon. “Our goal is to create an impact with the fans, who are potential customers. Ultimately, we will showcase Micro Strategies capabilities in technology and business and present the brand to new customers,” said Pedregon. Be the first to see the Micro Strategies Funny Car by stopping by Compare Foods Supermarket located at 818 E. Arrowood Road, Charlotte, NC 28217 from 3:00 to 5:00 pm on September 10th.
