USCC Announces Presenting Sponsor For I-500

Minto, ND (January 12, 2010) – The United States Cross-Country Snowmobile Racing Association has announced snowmobile ski maker C&A Pro as the Presenting Sponsor for the USCC Seven Clans Casino Red Lake I-500. The deal joins two organizations that are dedicated to the sport of cross-country snowmobile racing and marks C&A Pro’s first venture into Presenting Sponsorship with the USCC.

“C&A Pro was a big supporter of the 2009 I-500 so bringing them on board as a Presenting sponsor of the event only makes sense,” said USCC President Pat Mach. “With C&A Pro and Seven Clans Casino the I-500 has an excellent combination of sponsorship and we couldn’t be happier to be working with them.”

With the Presenting sponsorship deal, C&A Pro joins Seven Clans Casino as the main supporters for one of the most grueling and prestigious snowmobile races on the planet. First run in 1964, the 2010 I-500 marks the 39th running of the historic race.

“C&A Pro is proud to be the Presenting sponsor of the Red Lake I-500,” said Carrie Mages of C&A Pro. “We have a great association with USCC and this Presenting sponsorship just takes it one step further. C&A Pro is happy to be a part of the growing resurgence in cross-country snowmobile racing.”
