Also, Woody Creek Racing is working on sponsorshps for 2010 and beyond. WCR is unique in the fact that sponsors can sign on with the team and receive year round exposure in a variety of sports rather than the traditional deal that would give sponsors exposure just in a chosen specialty.

Interested parties should contact Mike Trecker at jimartintrecker@hotmail.com or trecker@utemountaineer.com
