Coming off a career season of competition, UPS-sponsored Top Fuel driver Bob Vandergriff has announced a comprehensive, multiyear associate sponsorship deal with Camping World that will benefit racers, sponsors, and NHRA members across the country.

Beginning immediately, Vandergriff and his various peers in the racing world, along with registered NHRA members, will enjoy discounts on new and used recreational vehicles from Camping World, America’s largest direct marketer and specialty retailer of RV and outdoor camping accessories, service, and RV sales.

"The selection of Bob Vandergriff as our brand ambassador to the NHRA community was a natural one given his popularity and willingness to work hard for his sponsors," said Josh Erickson, Vice President, Camping World RV Dealer Network. "Bob spends several months each year on the road enjoying the benefits of the motorhome lifestyle and that makes him a very credible spokesperson for our entire line of products and services for RV enthusiasts."

An avid RV user who frequently travels with his wife Johnnie and daughters Ashley and Sydney, Vandergriff successfully qualified for the inaugural Countdown to the Championship en route to a career-high fifth-place on the '07 POWERade tour. It was Vandergriff's fifth top-10 finish in nine Pro campaigns. Additionally, his five final-round appearances marked a personal best for the 42-year-old former Rookie of the Year.

"We're excited and honored to have Camping World join with UPS in supporting our race team," Vandergriff said. "I have a great feeling about the coming season and we're certainly expecting big things from our team.

"This agreement is going to benefit all of us that use RVs in connection with our love for racing. Through this program, we'll all be able to take advantage of Camping World's multiple locations to get our RV's serviced, get the parts we need, or even to buy a new or pre-owned RV. We won't have to schedule service calls for the times when we just happen to be near the manufacturer's hometown any more. The convenience will be beneficial to everyone."
