TMS reveals sponsor for Infiniti Pro Series final.

Texas Motor Speedway has announced that BG Products Inc will sponsor the inaugural Infiniti Pro Series race at the circuit, expanding the company's involvement in the sport from team sponsor to event backer.

It has been involved with Sam Schmidt Motorsports in the IRL for several years, before branching out with Schmidt's teams in the Infiniti Pro Series this year. The BG Products 100 will run on Saturday 14 September, immediately following qualifying for the Chevy 500 Indy Racing League season finale.

"The BG motorsports programme is an integral part of our brand awareness programme, and has brought our company some measurable success," said company president Galen Myers, "The addition of sponsorship of the Infiniti Pro Series race will be the crowning conclusion in a terrific season of involvement with the IRL and Sam Schmidt Motorsports. We would like to thank Texas Motor Speedway and the IRL for this fine opportunity."

"We're happy to welcome BG Products as the sponsor for the inaugural event at Texas Motor Speedway," said speedway general manager Eddie Gossage, "We are also excited to be hosting the Pro Series at Texas. The series has received much attention this year, and rightfully so with a number of talented drivers competing."

The BG Products 100 will be the season finale of the new IRL development programme, completing a seven-race schedule in the inaugural year. AJ Foyt IV has won three of the first five Infiniti Pro Series races as the tour heads to Chicagoland Speedway this weekend. His grandfather, the legendary AJ Foyt Sr, owns his car and would like nothing better than to wrap up the IPS championship title in Texas.
