ACDelco Driver Tests In Atlanta Headed for Houston …

What do you expect from a driver whose father is a 96-time national event winner and he himself is a 39-time race winner?

his sponsor's ACDelco event in Gainesville, Fla., Kurt Johnson and his
team have gone through his Chevrolet Cobalt with a fine-tooth comb

PR and marketing professional Matthew Brammer is returning to Baylor
University in Waco, Texas, almost 20 years after he graduated to share
what his years of business-ownership and a career in professional
motorsports marketing has taught him. Brammer will address four classes
in the School of Journalism Thursday.
 
Brammer is the founder and president of Phoenix, Ariz.-based Active
Marketing and has served as PR and marketing director for several
professional NHRA drag racing teams in his tenure at Active Marketing.
Along with his promotional responsibilities as the head of his company,
he is currently Series Director of the Get Screened America Pro Mod
Challenge presented by ProCare Rx and has been intimately involved in
keeping the exciting class of cars active in the NHRA.
 
According to Brammer, the only thing faster than the 0-to-330 m.p.h.
cars he writes about or quicker than the lightning-fast reactions of
the drivers he represents is the speed of the networks his articles are
delivered to and the power of the words he writes.
