Nick Neville signs Dixie Chopper Lawn Mowers for the remainder of the 2007 season beginning in Indianapolis this weekend.
By Buzz Motorsports/M.P.H. PromotionsMackinaw, Illinois (04/26/2007): The “Brothers Neville”, Derek and Nick Neville have been waiting for this weekend since the 2006 ASA Late Model Series Presented by GM Performance Parts Awards Banquet back in January. That moment has finally come for the Mackinaw, Illinois siblings as the 2007 season within the ASALMS Northern Division is about to begin.
The 2007 campaign for the ASALMS Northern Division kicks off this Friday and Saturday April 27-28, 2007 at the O’Reilly (IN) Raceway Park at Indianapolis for the running of the A.S.I. Limited 100 Presented by Lucas Oil Products and Ed Martin Automotive Group. 50 entries and counting have been turned into the ASALMS home offices in Lexington, Michigan and the “Brothers Neville” are two of those entries.
For the 2007 Racing Season, both Derek and Nick Neville will be going after the 2007 ASALMS Northern Division Championship as well as make select appearances in both the ASALMS Challenge and Southern Divisions. In addition, on ASALMS off weekends, both Neville Brothers will climb back into their dirt UMP Modified as often as possible.
Just in time for the 2007 ASALMS Northern Division Season Opener, Dixie Chopper Lawn Mowers, has come on board as a major sponsor for the entire ASALMS Northern Division season for the 55 car of Nick Neville.
The company, who manufactures “The fastest lawn mowers in the world” is based near Greencastle, Indiana and is happy to have the first event of their sponsorship season at nearby O’Reilly Raceway Park. They plan to bring over 50 employees and dealers to ORP for “Dixie Chopper Night at the track” this weekend to help unveil their new marketing partnership with Nick Neville and the Buzz Motorsports team
“What a great opportunity for Dixie Chopper to expand their motorsports program into the ASALMS.” Stated a very happy Jamie Neville, Car Owner for Buzz Motorsports which features his sons, Derek and Nick as the talented drivers. “Our great fan base with its wide demographics will give their company unlimited potential to show off the great benefits of owning a Dixie Chopper Lawnmower.” The elder Neville added.
“Dixie Chopper and myself are the perfect match. Not only do I use their mowers exclusively in my business, Nick’s Quality Lawn Care, but now I will get to promote their product everywhere we race.” Added the 19-year-old. “The “Fastest mower in the world” together with a pretty fast race car will be hard to beat! I think having fast time at the Nashville race last month proved to the Dixie Chopper folks that we have a solid team that they can be proud to support.” Neville added.
The 2007 season for the “Brothers Neville” began on March 31, 2007 at the famed Music City (TN) Motorplex in Nashville, Tennessee for the ASALMS Challenge Division second event of the Fifth Anniversary 2007 Season; The Music City Spring Clash 200. Both drivers were on hand last November and had experience on the fast 0.596 Mile High-Banked Paved Oval.
That proved to be beneficial to Nick Neville who won his first career ARP Bodies/Aluminum Racing Products Fast Qualifier Award over the 40-car field on hand. His older Brother, Derek finished 12th in the Feature while Nick finished 28th after a Lap 25 Accident.
As for Nick’s new sponsor; Dixie Choppers are known for their performance, productivity and reliability. Still family owned and operated, near Greencastle, Indiana, Dixie Chopper takes great pride in producing the best mid-mount, zero turning mowers in the industry.
For over 25 years, they’ve strived to revolutionize the industry introducing new products such as The LP3000, the first production LP gas-powered mower available. It features a 990cc Generac engine built specially for Dixie Chopper and designed to burn propane without losing power or compression.
Dixie Chopper Lawn Mowers will continue to improve their product and listen to the end-user as well as do things such as the new partnership with Nick Neville and the 55 team to help make Dixie Chopper a household name.
