\"valeriethompson2009\"<\/a>SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. \u2013 Two-time Bonneville land speed record holder and current Pro Stock Motorcycle racer Valerie\u00a0Thompson has announced a partnership agreement with Team Marines Racing (TMR).<\/p>\n

The deal struck with Team\u00a0Marines will help generate additional marketing value for Thompson\u2019s sponsors by providing associations with active\u00a0duty, retired and future Marines and their families. The agreement will also help to generate revenues for the\u00a0Wounded Warrior Project and the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund, two programs that exist to provide support to\u00a0those who serve and preserve our freedoms.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could not be more excited about joining Team Marines Racing,\u201d said Thompson, who competed in four NHRA Full\u00a0Throttle Drag Racing Series events in 2008. \u201cOur team has been looking for ways to give back to the Military and their\u00a0families, which makes this a perfect fit. Their dedication and service to our country speaks for itself. We are proud to\u00a0support the Wounded Warrior Project and the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Team Marines Racing Chief Strategy Officer, Chip Dykes added, \u201cWe are very excited to add Valerie Thompson to the\u00a0Team Marines Racing family and look forward to developing a strong partnering relationship with her team. Adding an\u00a0experienced rider like Valerie brings great value and excitement to the Team Marines Racing program. We look\u00a0forward to developing partnering relationships with key sponsors\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sidelined for the first four races of the 2009 season, while she searches for the proper funding, Thompson has been\u00a0making weekly appearances and displays with her Buell V?twin Pro Stock Motorcycle while meeting with prospective\u00a0marketing partners. Thompson\u2019s new association with Team Marines Racing brings significant added value to VTR’s\u00a0racing program and will allow potential sponsors to enjoy the benefits of a strong relationship with American military\u00a0servicemen and women. Thompson is currently seeking marketing partners for the remainder of the 2009 season and\u00a0beyond.<\/p>\n

“I want to emphasize my gratitude to all the sponsors for their faith and support in VTR. It gives me great pleasure to\u00a0represent my sponsors and is even more rewarding to report my successes. \u00a0Without their support, the racing program\u00a0would not be where it is today.”<\/p>\n
