Fathead®, the fast-growing sports
and entertainment brand best-known for its life-size wall graphics, will boast
product for seven of the twelve drivers competing in the Chase for the NASCAR
NEXTEL Cup – the championship for America’s top motor sport.
As the Chase heats up, the Fathead line of cars and drivers will take center
stage in an all star line up. Fathead’s stellar roster
of current Chase competitors include: four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon;
reigning champion Jimmy Johnson; two-time champion Tony Stewart; returning Chase
competitors Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards; and new to Fathead status, Denny
Hamlin’s No. 11 FedEx Chevrolet and Kevin Harvick’s No. 29 Pennzoil Chevrolet.
“It’s incredible
that 7 of the 12 drivers in The Chase are Fathead champions with multiple
titles, victories and top ten finishes between them," says Brock Weatherup, CEO,
Fathead. "Our Fathead NASCAR field of cars, drivers, and number logos
provide 'must-have' items for Chase fans to show their support during this
exciting time of the season. We wish all the teams the best of luck in The Chase
and may the best Fathead team win!”
The Fathead Seven currently dominate the Top 10 heading into the Dodge
Dealers 400 in Dover, DE this weekend and these drivers are expected to have a
strong presence in New York City during Champions Week in late November. Several
industry insiders have predicted one of these seven to win The Chase, this year.
In less than a year, Fathead’s roster of officially
licensed NASCAR products has grown to over 35.
“During the Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL
Cup, NASCAR fans witness one of the most exciting and intriguing playoff runs in
professional sports as drivers compete for the premier motorsports
championship,” said Blake Davidson, Managing Director
of Licensed Products at NASCAR. ”Now,
thanks to Fathead, fans can celebrate a larger-than-life interest in the sport
while rooting for their favorite drivers.”
