Thursday, July 26, 2007: Scott Brand Towels and Cottonelle Brand Bath Tissue 'Roll' into Canada with NASCAR Busch Series Debut
Product 're-introduction', team sponsorship create excitement surrounding
historic event
NEENAH, Wis., July 26 /CNW/ -- When NASCAR travels to Montreal, Quebec,
Canada and the Gilles Villeneuve Circuit in August, Kimberly-Clark Corporation
(NYSE: KMB) and Brewco Motorsports will also make a grand introduction. Scott
brand towels and Cottonelle brand bath tissue will "re-introduce" themselves
to the Canadian market.
These two respected brands from Kimberly-Clark, home to other well-known
brands including Kleenex, Huggies, Pull-Ups, Kotex, Poise and Depend, can now
be found back on the shelves at leading retailers in Canada. The Cottonelle
and Scott brands will also be featured as co-sponsors on the No. 27 Ford
Fusion Brewco Motorsports car for the NAPA Auto Parts 200 Presented by Dodge.
"We are very excited to be bringing these trusted and highly recognized
brands back to the Canadian marketplace," said Claude Dupuis, Kimberly-Clark
Sales Director. "In doing so, we are able to help our retail partners in
Canada provide even more choice for customers.
"And, what could be a more exciting way to spread the word than by
participating as an official car sponsor for NASCAR's first-ever Canadian
race," he said. "K-C has a long history of proud service throughout Canada. To
have the Scott and Cottonelle brands be a part of this historic event in
Montreal is truly an honor."
The NAPA Auto Parts 200 Presented by Dodge will be the first-ever visit
of the NASCAR Busch Series in Canada, and the first time Brewco Motorsports
has raced north of the U.S. border.
Jorge Goeters will drive the No. 27 Scott/Cottonelle brands Ford Fusion.
Goeters and Brewco are a combination already in the NASCAR Busch Series record
book, as he drove the Brewco car in the Busch Series races at Mexico City for
the past three seasons, winning the pole for the inaugural event in March,
2005. Goeters qualified fourth and finished seventh in the No. 27 Ford Fusion
in the 2007 Mexico Telemex 200.
"It's a thrill to drive for Kimberly-Clark and Brewco Motorsports at
Montreal," Goeters stated. "To represent the Scott and Cottonelle brands and
their return to Canada is an exciting opportunity. I have enjoyed success
driving for Brewco in Mexico City, and look forward to a very competitive race
on the Gilles Villeneuve Circuit. I'd love to win my first NASCAR Busch Series
race for Kimberly-Clark and Brewco Motorsports at this historic event."
