    Camping World Named Title Partner for Superstar Racing Experience Sponsor to Highlight Plating Change Initiative with Goal of $1 Million in Donations to Battle Food Insecurity MOORESVILLE, N.C. (June 1, 2021) – Camping World, America’s Recreation Dealer, has joined Superstar Racing Experience (SRX) as the title partner of the six-race short-track series debuting this summer on Saturday nights in primetime on the CBS Television Network and streaming live on Paramount+. “At every racetrack I’ve ever been to – and I’ve been to a lot of them – you see RVs and people tailgating and just enjoying the outdoors,” said Ray Evernham, co-founder of the Camping World SRX Series. “Camping World is a perfect fit for our fans and the tracks where we’re racing. We’re bringing big-name, race-winning and championship-winning drivers to grassroots racetracks. If you’re a fan of pavement racing, you’ll want to be a part of this, and if you’re a fan of dirt racing, you’ll want to be part of this. The Camping World SRX Series will have a little something for everyone.” “Motorsports has proven to be a very good investment for Camping World, and our partnership with SRX is a reaffirmation of our commitment to racing and its fans,” said Marcus Lemonis, Chairman and CEO of Camping World. “Race fans are passionate about their sport and they commit to it, often by setting up camp at the track and immersing themselves in the experience. That’s our customer, and SRX will reach a diverse group of race fans who follow a variety of racing series.” As title partner of the Camping World SRX Series, Camping World will use the platform to highlight a standalone philanthropic initiative called Plating Change.
