(CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - July 13, 2012) - ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards points leader Brennan Poole will drive a car sponsored by Iowa-based Mudd Advertising in tonight's Prairie Meadows 200 at Iowa Speedway.

Poole's No. 25 entry will feature The Ad Man, a book written by Jim Mudd Sr. and Clifton Lambreth. Mudd Advertising - a family-run business since 1981 - strives to support young adults, like Poole, in reaching their lifelong dreams. Jim Mudd Sr. believed the young and passionate Poole would be an excellent representation of his book, which teaches the values of becoming a great leader.

To celebrate the sponsorship and Poole's recent successes in the ARCA Racing Series, he and members of his crew were at Mudd Advertising's Cedar Falls headquarters on Thursday for a pre-race pep rally with the Mudd team and local media. Lambreth was also in attendance.

Mudd Advertising, one of the largest family-owned agencies, has been a leader in creative marketing and audio-visual production for the last 30 years. Mudd specializes in automotive advertising, providing clients with interactive, traditional, and direct media services, including real-time analytics on every campaign created. 

Two practices are scheduled today, from 11:30-1 and 2-3 ET. Menards Pole Qualifying presented by Ansell will begin at 5:30. SPEED will broadcast the race live at 9, and ARCARacing.com will carry live timing and scoring of all on-track activity throughout the day. All times listed are Eastern, one hour ahead of Iowa and Central Daylight Time.
