February marked the beginning of the 2010 program with an event at the Daytona 500, and it was an energetic and exciting weekend for State Water Heaters. The State brand hosted suite events at the track for the Gatorade 150 Duels, the Camping World Truck Series, the Nationwide race, and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. State reps, wholesalers, and contractors experienced great views of the track, flat screen TV monitors, full beverage and food service—all while getting one-on-one time with former NASCAR star driver Ward Burton.
Phil Arnold, vice president of operations for G. W. Berkheimer Company, had this to say about the Daytona 500 State Water Heaters suite event, “I want to thank you and your team for the hospitality and all the hard work to make the Daytona trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me and Tony (a contractor customer of G.W. Berkheimer). Your organization is first class all the way, the professionalism is without a doubt unbelievable. Thanks for letting me share this experience with you and your company; it was a blast!”
