Walkinshaw Andretti United has today announced that Boost Mobile will become one of the official naming rights partners of the Supercar team in 2018.
Boost Mobile started their relationship with Walkinshaw Racing at Clipsal 2017, before taking a major branding position on James Courtney’s Car #22 from Phillip Island onwards.
The Australian owned company was founded in 2000 by Peter Adderton, and has grown to become the world’s largest youth mobile brand. They live and breathe the youth cultural intersections between action sports, motorsports, art and music, offering prepaid services on the Telstra 4G mobile network.
Today’s announcement continues their extensive support of motorsport over the years, which includes Indy Car and NASCAR in the United States.
They will continue to help connect the data side of the team, thanks to the outstanding coverage they receive on the Telstra Network.
Walkinshaw Andretti United Co-Owner, Ryan Walkinshaw, said he was thrilled to have Boost Mobile on board for 2018.
“To have Boost Mobile not only continue their support of the team in 2018, but to expand it to become one of the naming rights partners is fantastic for everyone at Walkinshaw Andretti United, we’ve really enjoyed working with them this year,” Mr Walkinshaw said.
“As a team, we are entering a new chapter in 2018, and we are extremely grateful and excited to have Peter, Jason, and the whole team at Boost Mobile with us for it.”
“They are a great company who connect to our fans. After starting our relationship with them at the beginning of this year, we can’t wait to see what we can achieve on and off the track with them in 2018.”
Andretti Autosport, Michael Andretti, was delighted to have Boost Mobile with the team in 2018.
“I’m very happy to join the team in announcing the continued relationship with Boost Mobile. Both the Walkinshaw Racing and the Andretti Autosport teams have a positive history with Boost and it seems most fitting for that relationship to continue with Walkinshaw Andretti United. I can’t wait to get to 2018 and to see Boost in action with our new team,” Mr Andretti said.
Boost Mobile Founder, Peter Adderton, said he was thrilled that Boost Mobile were extending their partnership for 2018.
“Supercars is the third largest sporting code in Australia, so to have the ability to engage with these fans, and the fans of Walkinshaw Andretti United is really important to us at Boost Mobile,” Mr Adderton said.
“The passion these fans of the sport and of the team have is amazing, so there is a real passion from all of us at Boost Mobile to be able to provide them, and all of our customers, with relevant products they need.
“It’s a really exciting time for the team, and for us, elevating our relationship to become one of the naming right partners.
“Our partnership is more than just a sticker on the car, we can’t wait to continue to work with the team to use our mobile network to bring the fans as close as ever to Supercars.”
Ryan Walkinshaw will be available for comment at the Newcastle circuit today.
