Upland, CA - April 2, 2008 - Just like thousands of circle track racers across the U.S., the ASA Speed Truck Challenge drivers count heavily on sponsor dollars to offset on and off track expenses every season.  With the current sour U.S. economy, sponsorships for teams have become harder and harder to obtain.  For ASA Speed Truck Challenge driving veteran and three-time NASCAR champion Jimmy Neal, his realizes after many years driving in some of the biggest west coast races that driving was all about the sponsor.  Therefore, now that he has climbed back into a Speed Truck 24-years later, he is very proud of every company that believes in his abilities and wants to sponsor his #61 Dodge Dakota. 

“I am extremely proud to welcome Sunray Treatment and Recovery as my primary financial partner for the 2008 racing season,” said a smiling Neal.  “Our partnership has already started in great fashion with their supreme interest in my driving and own personal alcohol abuse story.  We are a perfect match for each other.”  Sunray president, Tom Blakely, also added his pleasure in getting involved with Neal and his run for a championship with the ASA Speed Truck Challenge.  “On behalf of all of us at Sunray Treatment and Recovery, we are very pleased to help Jimmy and his return to the track after all of these years.  We know that he will be a winner both on and off the track for us.”

Sunray Treatment and Recovery Center is an exclusive inpatient treatment center located on Puget Sound, in Washington State.  This state-of-the-art facility specializes in treating chemical dependency and co-occurring disorders, also known as Dual Diagnosis.  Says Blakely, “As one of the most unique alcohol and drug rehab centers in the United States, we offer hope to individuals and families needing immediate treatment for alcohol and drug addiction and mental health disorders like anxiety and depression.  We really provide a nurturing and supportive environment with a sense of humor.”

With high-quality treatment from qualified staff during their stay at Sunray Recovery Center, patients experience help from Board Certified Therapists, Physicians and Clinical Staff.  Tucked away among the trees and ferns of Puget Sound, the center has its own creek and private half-mile hiking trail.  Each patient is immersed in recovery, sharing their experiences with other individuals seeking sobriety and a new way of life.  From the first-class luxury rooms to the gourmet food; patient comfort, safety and recovery are first priority.

Neal has already proven that he is up for the driving challenge once again in a Speed Truck, finishing very well in his first two races in 2008 and getting better every race.  For more information on Neal’s return to racing, go to www.jimmynealracing.com.
