BASS today announced a new sponsorship agreement with Advance Auto Parts. Under the 1-year agreement, Advance Auto Parts will be presenting sponsor of the 2006 Bassmaster American Major, presenting sponsor of the ESPN Outdoors Bassmaster Series, and supporting sponsor of the CastingKids program. Gerald Swindle, Marty Stone and John Crews will comprise the Advance Auto Parts fishing team.
BASS VP and GM Don Rucks said, "We're pleased Advance Auto Parts is joining our growing group of national sponsors. We applaud the vision of Advance Auto Parts in recognizing the significance of the brand-loyal BASS members and fans."
Advance Auto Parts marketing director Samuel Hampton said, "There's no doubt our customers and team members participate in, watch and enjoy bass fishing. This partnership is relevant because an angler's tow vehicle is equally important as his boat. Advance Auto Parts has all of the parts and accessories anglers need to keep their vehicles looking good and on the road."
