"We at SpongeTech are very excited to get involved with Mike Ashley Racing and the NHRA," SpongeTechR's COO, Steven Moskowitz said. "We feel our product and the NHRA demographics are very complimentary to each other. Our marketing focus is such that we want to reach the 'do-it-yourself' car care product user, and we feel this is a perfect fit. We are looking forward to seeing the SpongeTechR logo in high-speed action on Antron Brown's dragster and capitalizing on his performance."

The SpongeTech's sponges are specially configured with an outer contact layer and an inner matrix, the latter of which comes pre-loaded with specially formulated soaps and wax that are released when the sponge is soaked and applied to a surface with minimal pressure. The current SpongeTech product line is designed for car, pet, child and home care.

"SpongeTech is a fantastic product that fits in perfectly with the NHRA demographic," Ashley said. "NHRA fans are hands-on people and fans that clean their own vehicles will love the product. Like our race team, SpongeTech is a company that is growing very quickly and they have taken an aggressive marketing approach; it's a great fit for our racing culture. If you watch ESPN or Major League Baseball games, you've seen SpongeTechR a lot lately and our goal is to help the SpongeTech's product line continue to grow."

Ashley, a three-time NHRA Funny Car winner, including the prestigious U.S. Nationals in 2007, will return to professional competition this fall in a second MAR Top Fuel dragster as he attempts to become just the 15th driver in NHRA history to win races in both Top Fuel and Funny Car. The Ashley-owned Matco Tools dragster leads the NHRA Top Fuel standings and has not ranked lower than second this season. Brown has two wins, three runner-up finishes and four No. 1 qualifying awards this season. The Matco Tools car also has earned low elapsed time and top speed of the meet honors five times in 11 races this season.
