Batesville, Arkansas' Bad Boy Mowers to Sponsor Mark Martin at California Speedway Craftsman Truck Series Event

HARRISBURG, NC (February 2, 2007) – Sometimes when you're looking for race team sponsorship, you don't have to look further than home.  The Wood Brothers/JTG No. 20 Race Team has announced that the Batesville, Arkansas-based Bad Boy Lawn Mower Company has signed a one-race deal to sponsor Mark Martin in the San Bernardino County 200 Craftsman Truck Series race at California Speedway on February 23rd, 2007.

Wood Brothers/JTG President & CEO Tad Geschickter inked the deal recently and financial terms were not disclosed.  "I'm very glad we were able to continue to live up to our commitment to fund Mark Martin's racing program with our organization," said Geschickter.  "I do have to admit, though, if you have a hard time selling a 35-time winner in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series to a sponsor, prospecting may not be for you," he added with a chuckle.

Bad Boy Lawn Mowers began in 1998 with the sole purpose of producing the strongest, most durable zero-turn lawn mower available, while delivering an excellent quality of cut, reliability, productivity and comfort.  The meteoric rise of sales put the company on an expansive growth plan, now comprising over 200,000 square feet of factory space.  Bad Boy Mowers future vision includes the continued collaboration of experts in the commercial turf industry.  The company has recently added to their sales staff and has built several new buildings, including an onsite, fully-automated, state-of-the-art paint facility which increased production by 10 times their previous capacity.

Veteran driver Mark Martin, never known for the "Bad Boy" image, is ready to tackle pitchman duties, nonetheless.  "Bad Boy is a local company from my hometown and I'm certainly proud to be able to represent them," said Martin.  "You can take a look at their operation and see that they're all about progress and so am I. We're going to have some fun together," he added.

Bad Boy Mowers President & CEO Phil Pulley is very excited to be teaming up with a hometown hero, so to speak.  "I think this legendary combination will bring some great exposure to Bad Boy Mowers," stated Pulley.  "The entire company is very revved up and would like to thank Mark Martin and the Wood Brothers/JTG Racing Organization for such a grand opportunity," he added.
