ITALICA RACING ANNOUNCES MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY SPONSOR

BARBER MOTORSPORTS PARK – BIRMINGHAM, AL.

Italica Racing announces the STUNTMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF MOTION PICTURES has joined the Italica Racing team as a supplemental sponsor.

“I believe the Stuntmen’s Association’s principles parallel exactly what motorcycle racers at this level of competition also possess,” says Italica Racing team owner Jeff Jensen. “These men are not daredevils but highly trained professional athletes that have worked for years to perfect their craft. They plan, prepare and push the envelope to deliver a winning performance, just like the professional racers that compete in this series.”

Italica Racing’ team Director, David Lewis concurs, “Italica Racing is honored to be affiliated with such a prestigious organization as the Stuntmen’s Association.” He continues, “I think it is a perfect fit for the team with all of the cross promotion of media related projects Italica Racing will be involved with.”

The Stuntmen’s Association’s members are the Motion Picture and television industry’s premier stuntmen. Founded in 1961 by a group of forward thinking Stuntmen, they single-handedly changed the course of the industry by professionalizing the realm of stunts. Its members have directed, coordinated and performed the stunts in some of the greatest movies of all time, including The Great Escape, Spartacus, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Rambo I, II & III, The Fast and the Furious, and the Indiana Jones trilogy, to list but a few of their thousands of screen credits.

Matt Wait (#50) and Mike Hale (#55) will contest the AMA Superbike series beginning in June with renowned crew chief Vic Fasola helming the development of the Aprilia RSV Factory bikes.

Italica Racing seeks a primary sponsor for the team and is fielding inquiries out of their Malibu office. Contact Natalie Todd at (818)388-8801 or for sponsorship opportunities.
