Matt Kenseth skillfully maneuvered his Bosch-equipped No. 20 Dollar General Toyota to Victory Lane in Michigan on Sunday, dominating the NASCAR® Sprint Cup Series Race. In recognition of the victory, Bosch Aftermarket NA is making another $1,000 contribution – the third of the 2015 season – to Motor Racing Outreach.
Motor Racing Outreach works to support the motorsport community so that they may enjoy a more wholesome life together, and in turn, become good role models for millions of motorsport fans around the world. Originally founded in 1988 to serve the NASCAR Sprint Cup racing community, MRO has evolved over the years to serve other forms of motorsports such as motorcycle and powerboat racing. A faith-based organization, MRO’s mission includes introducing the racing community to a personal faith in Christ, encouraging active involvement in the church, understanding God’s word and assisting in the development of leadership skills.
“It’s remarkable how strong and dominant Joe Gibbs Racing has been in the second half of this season,” said Tony Pauly, director of advertising and brand management for Bosch Automotive Aftermarket North America. “It takes a tremendous amount of hard work and dedication by a lot of people to win races at this level of competition, and we’re thrilled that Bosch quality parts and systems play a role in helping our supported teams consistently perform at the highest level.”
So far in the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup season, Bosch-supported teams have won nineteen races, earning a total Bosch contribution of $19,000 to driver and team charities. Bosch Aftermarket has a long-standing partnership with NASCAR, providing oxygen sensors to all NASCAR Sprint Cup Series teams. Additionally, Bosch has provided quality parts — including spark plugs, injectors, alternators, coils, filters, fuel pumps, starters and pressure regulators — to multiple NASCAR teams for more than a decade, helping them to numerous appearances in Victory Lane and seven Sprint Cup Series championships since 2001.
