Nice-Pak's Grime Boss Sponsors the Andretti Autosport Salute to American Heroes at the 100th Anniversary Indianapolis 500

ORANGEBURG, N.Y., May 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Nice-Pak Products has signed its new innovative Grime Boss Heavy-Duty Hand Cleaning Wipes to a sponsorship agreement with Andretti Autosport in support of the team's salute to America's armed forces, which begins with the 100th anniversary edition of the Indianapolis 500 and continues through the remainder of the 2011 IZOD IndyCar Series season.

The Grime Boss logo will be displayed next to the military emblems on each Andretti entry.  Andretti Autosport has incorporated all of its Indianapolis 500 entries into the tribute program, which highlights five different units of the United States military.

Nice-Pak Chairman and CEO Robert P. Julius commented, "Nice Pak and Grime Boss are honored to partner with Andretti Racing to support the United States Military and to be involved with the 100th anniversary of the Indianapolis 500.  We are introducing an exciting new product Grime Boss Heavy Duty Hand Cleaning wipes, and there could not be a better match for Grime Boss than Andretti Racing, the Indianapolis 500, and the United States Military."

John Lopes, Senior Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer, Andretti Autosport said, "Grime Boss is an outstanding product, and that is one of the reasons you'll find it in our mobile hospitality unit operations, our race shop, and in our garage area at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Grime Boss also shares our admiration for this country's military heroes, and we are pleased to have them join us in our season-long tribute to the American armed forces." Adds Lopes, "Grime Boss and Andretti Autosport are thrilled to honor our American military heroes, and specifically, some of the very distinguished units that have served the American citizens in recent years.
