As the official tire and automotive service provider for PBIR, Tire Kingdom has full naming rights for this race.

"We're really excited to partner with Tire Kingdom to bring the first organized stock car race to Palm Beach County, Florida," said Jason Rittenberry, President and CEO of Palm Beach International Raceway. "The addition of this race to our calendar is solidifying PBIR's ranking in the motorsports track arena.

ARCA made its road course racing debut in 1958 at the now defunct Meadowdale Raceway in Carpentersville, Illinois.

"PBIR is an exceptional facility that draws national visibility. The ability to bring the ARCA Racing Series to Palm Beach County is a tremendous asset to local and regional businesses," said Orland Wolford, President and CEO of TBC Retail Group. "We are excited to be a part of this sponsorship as it is a win-win opportunity for Tire Kingdom."

In addition, PBIR officials announced that ModSpace has signed on as the presenting sponsor for the event. The official race title is the Tire Kingdom 150 presented by ModSpace.

"ModSpace has an outstanding reputation within the racing community so it was only fitting to form this partnership and have them become the presenting sponsor of the ARCA race at Palm Beach International Raceway," added Rittenberry. "This partnership between ModSpace and PBIR will be highly beneficial to both of us."

"Plans for the ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards race at Palm Beach Int'l Raceway have been taking shape for well over a year," said ARCA President Ron Drager.
