"Our customers have received our entry into auto racing with great enthusiasm for the past three years, and I believe that the spring race under the lights will be an even bigger event for us and our customers. PIR has been a good partner for Bashas', and I am sure we will continue to grow this successful relationship together in the future."

"We are very proud of our relationship with Bashas'," said PIR President Bryan R. Sperber.
