"Both parties are looking forward to this sponsorship, as this is truly exciting," said Jeff Fabian, VP of Marketing for Mirka Abrasives, Inc. "Both Front Row Motorsports and Mirka Abrasives, Inc. are poised in our respective industries for great success due to mutual commitment and investment in innovative technology, the company and their people. It's a winning attitude and desire that has allowed this relationship to form, and we at Mirka are excited to start the race season with this partnership."

 

Front Row Motorsports will use Mirka's most advanced and innovative dust-free sanding system in the market today called Autonet. The Mirka dust-free system uses a patented and unique electric sander, Mirka CEROS. When combined with the vacuum system, it generates a highly efficient system allowing the garage environment to become more efficient and dust-free.

 

"We were blown away by this technology with how efficient and clean the shop is running," said Front Row Motorsports General Manager Jerry Freeze.  "You don't notice how much dust is created when sanding the cars until it's all gone.  Best of all, the system is completely electric, which gives us the portability to take it anywhere. We may even bring this system on the road.  Good-bye, sanding dust, forever."

 

Mirka's associate sponsorship will be represented on both the No. 34 and No. 38 Fords throughout the 2012 season.
