NEW TITLE SPONSOR FOR THE F1000 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!
 

GREEN BAY, WIS. (January 18, 2011) –

The stature of the 2011 F1000 National Championship got a huge boost today when it was announced that Mystt Premium Vodka, a brand of Shadow Beverage Group, is now the title sponsor of the series.  Effective immediately, it will be known as the Mystt Premium Vodka F1000 National Championship presented by George Dean Racing Engines and Taylor Race Engineering.  While the series title got a lot bigger, so did the season-long prize fund thanks to the backing of Mystt.  Competitors can expect to see a larger purse, not only for the national champion, but for drivers further back in the field as well.

The involvement of Shadow Beverage Group with the F1000 National Championship coincides with the January launch of their new line of distilled beverages in California, New York, New Jersey, and Colorado, followed by a national release later in the year.  According to CEO Laurance Marvin, “Support of the F1000 Championship allows us to get the word out about our new product line while also promoting a “Drink Responsibly” campaign.”

Series Director Mike Beauchamp emphasized the “Drink Responsibly” facet of the sponsorship, “It goes without saying that alcohol and driving don’t mix, whether it’s a race car or a street car, but we plan to say it every chance we get.”  He added, “Suffice to say, the post-race celebrations will be more festive thanks to Mystt!”

About Shadow Beverage Group:
Located in Ohio, the Shadow Beverage Group is a very unique company.  The founders have a long history of business success and a deep, hands-on background in the European Wine & Spirits industry going back 25 years.  The opportunity to create a whole new concept for distilled spirits is a result of strong demand from retailers all across the USA who have seen the distilled spirits industry stalling for several years due to brands that are tired and stale.  This created the opening for Shadow Beverage Group to use its intense experience to develop a higher level of quality and design new Vodkas, Gins, Tequilas, Scotch, Bourbon, Whiskey and Rums.  When they say “you’ve never had it so good”, you can be sure it’s the truth.  The Shadow Beverage Group product line is rolling into retail stores starting in Fall 2010 and as each new product is released we continue to build an entire product line that will include California, Italian and French wines and an ultra premium champagne in 2011.
