Both local companies have built strong reputations in their respective industries and have made significant contributions to the St. Louis area. Nu Way has become a staple in the St. Louis region\u2019s construction industry by providing premium supplies, equipment and expert services.<\/p>\n

“We are thrilled to be the title sponsor for the Xfinity Series race at World Wide Technology Raceway this year! This event holds special significance as it marks Xfinity’s return to WWTR after 15 years, and it perfectly coincides with Nu Way’s 70th anniversary,\u201d Nu Way Director of Sales Mike Townsend said. \u201cWe extend our sincere gratitude to our customers for your continued business and loyalty, and we also want to thank WWTR for being a valued and trusted partner.”<\/p>\n

Blues Hog will be bringing a new flavor to the Madison, Ill.-based venue during the NASCAR race weekend. Founded in the 1980s, the company has grown into an award-winning barbeque operation, earning national recognition for its sauces and seasonings.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlues Hog is excited to bring our bold flavors to the WWT Raceway! Looking forward to providing a fun and tasty experience at the track this year,\u201d Blues Hog owner Tim Scheer said. \u201cStay Saucy, race fans!\u201d<\/p>\n
