FORT WORTH, TX,
Oct. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - NASCAR
Bashers will sponsor Nationwide Series driver Cole Whitt in the JR Motorsports # 88 car to
create on-track buzz among fans. The NASCAR Bashers car will
run the O'Reilly Auto Parts Challenge on November 3 at the Texas Motor Speedway in
Fort Worth. The car will
showcase prominent NASCAR Bashers badging and detailed graphics
simulating the logo and the number 88 crashing through the paint
scheme.
NASCAR Bashers make kids feel like part of the
action like never before, with amazing crashes and radical car
transformations. All NASCAR Bashers explode on impact with
surprising changes, but each car wrecks with a different
transformation. After the crash, kids can easily reassemble
the cars and are ready to race again in seconds.

great product and unique means to reach them. The NASCAR Bashers
product and partnering with a young, rising start like Cole does
that," stated Craig Drobis,
