“We are thrilled to have a high caliber organization like D’Hondt Motorsports and an exciting young driver promoting our line of hot new Zippo BLU lighters,” declared Greg Booth , President/CEO of Zippo.  “Kyle Busch is currently number one in the Sprint Cup standings, and number two in the Nationwide Series. This is a tremendous opportunity to get our Zippo message out to a huge audience of NASCAR fans, many of whom are already Zippo fans.”

for Fifth Anniversary

( Zippo Click / 2.19.2009 )

It has been five short years since Zippo began racing down the back stretch and winding through the inner loop during the Zippo 200 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Watkins Glen International.

Some of NASCAR racing’s top names have reached Gatorade Victory Lane following the Zippo 200; Ryan Newman, Kurt Busch, Kevin Harvick, and Marcos Ambrose. 
The Zippo 200 has also had a notable list of Grand Marshals, including Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, Miss America 2006 Jennifer Berry, Zippo President and CEO Greg Booth, and Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett.Last year, in addition to title sponsorship of the Nationwide series race, Zippo also sponsored the D’Hondt Motorsports #92 Zippo BLU™ car driven by Kyle Busch. 
The race car was decked out in Zippo BLU™ and came in a close second to Marcos Ambrose in one of the most exciting races in Zippo 200 history. The green flag will drop on this year’s Zippo 200 on Saturday, August 8, followed by the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series at The Glen Sunday, August 9. Like Zippo, Watkins Glen International is a legend in its own. Please visit TheGlen.com for more information about Watkins Glen.
