CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Bob Gilbertson, owner/driver of the Autolite XP Spark Plugs/Prestone Antifreeze nitro Funny Car and Kevin Boyle, owner of Concept Haulers by Show Hauler, have announced that Concept Haulers has signed on as an associate sponsor of the Terminator Motorsports entry for the entire 23-race 2005 NHRA POWERade season.

"We tested the waters this year with Bob and his team and we were overwhelmed with the response we got," said Boyle. "Our haulers are custom built with the user's needs in mind and the drag racing community has literally tens of thousands potential customers that we want to reach and there's no better way than to be associated with a professional drag racer like Bob. Unlike other manufacturers, with us, the customer doesn't have to buy an 'off-the-shelf' unit, they can design exactly what they want and we can build it for them and we want them to take a look at our product before they buy."

"I own a Concept hauler that I use for my son Jake's Motocross team and I can't say enough about it," said Gilbertson. "Concept custom-built it to my specs and it is perfect for our needs. Kevin and his team really care about giving the customer exactly what works for them. With their additional support we're on-track to take this team to the next level and hopefully take Concept to the winner's circle."

Built on either a Freightliner or Volvo chassis, a Concept Haulers coach comes in three styles: a Motorcoach, Garagecoach (front half of the coach is motorhome, rear half is a garage unit), and Totercoach (specifically designed to haul fifth wheels, trailers, etc.).

With the coaches being constructed on a full size semi chassis it enables the owner to travel many more miles than a conventional motorhome with little worry of problems occurring. The beauty of the Concept Haulers coach is the freedom of design. Owners can create their own floor plan as each coach is unique and built with the needs and desires of the customer in mind.
