Busch Grand National Series

GNC Live Well Racing Reaching the "Pinnacle" in Bristol

Bristol, TENN. (August 20) - Hank Parker Jr. and his No. 36 GNC Live Well Dodge Intrepid will "reach the Pinnacle" in Friday night's Food City 250 NASCAR Busch Series (NBS) event at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Parker's car will be painted in the colors of Pinnacle Products, an associate sponsor on Parker's team for the past two seasons. Pinnacle Products, made by Bodyonics, Ltd., bills itself as "the next generation of bodybuilding and fitness supplements, delivering the very apex of quality, value and performance."

Pinnacle produces a full line of fitness and bodybuilding supplements, including Aqualean Diet and Fitness Water, MascuLean Fast Track Fat Mobilizer, Horny Goat Weed, Natural Passion for Women and EstroLean Fat Burner Supreme. Pinnacle products are available at virtually all of GNC Live Well's 4,500-plus retail locations throughout the United States.

The paint design incorporates colors from a number of products in the Pinnacle line. The car's body will be black, with stripes that transition through the color spectrum, from yellow to blue to purple to orange. The hood of the car will feature the Pinnacle name, along with the company's logo, a bodybuilder's upper torso with arms outstretched.

"The car is awesome," Parker said of the design. "You always hear people talking about 'muscle cars.' Well, this design literally has muscles on it. Pinnacle has been an incredible supporter of this race team for the past two seasons, so I'm proud to drive this special design. I think it's going to look great under the lights at Bristol, and I hope to 'muscle' the Pinnacle car into victory lane."

Pinnacle's Vice President of Marketing, Andrew Fischman, believes the paint design is a perfect way to help race fans become more aware of Pinnacle and its many products.

"Athletes and fitness enthusiasts know Pinnacle as a leader in the field of nutritional supplements. With this paint design, we hope to broaden our awareness among those race fans that are interested in fitness, but who may not know what quality products are available to them. We're confident that, once they experience the quality of the Pinnacle brand, they'll become regular users of our products."

Steve Breakfield, the artist responsible for designing each of the No. 36 team's paint schemes for the past two seasons, also worked on the Pinnacle graphic design.

The No. 36 GNC Live Well / Pinnacle Dodge Intrepid can be seen in the Food City 250 race at Bristol Motor Speedway on Friday, August 23. That race will air live on TNT and PRN at 8 p.m. EDT.
