I'll sure miss IRP, but it is nice to see IRP's longtime Busch Series sponsor step up and sponsor the entire NASCAR weekend at the big track.

Kroger will sponsor the expanded Brickyard 400 weekend July 26-29 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, officials for the grocery chain and the speedway announced today.
Kroger was title sponsor of NASCARs Camping World Truck Series and Nationwide Series races on Brickyard weekend at Lucas Oil Raceway in Clermont. The Nationwide race is moving to IMS and will be joined on the schedule by the first Grand Am sports car series race on the speedways road course.
The new agreement also will benefit the Riley Childrens Foundation in collaborative with Indianapolis native John Andretti, a veteran racer and Riley supporter.
Kroger has been a longtime, active partner with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and an integral part of Central Indiana life, so were happy to expand and strengthen our relationship, Jeff Belskus, Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corp. president and chief executive officer, said in a news release. Every aspect of this partnership will enhance the fan experience at IMS.
