Andy Belmont announces sponsor

Leoni Motor Express Partners with Andy Belmont for Remainder of 2006 ARCA RE/MAX Tour

Chicago Heights, IL. - Leoni Motor Express, a freight company in business since 1930 has agreed to sponsor Andy Belmont on the ARCA RE/MAX Series tour for the balance of the 2006 season.

"This is looking like a great relationship" "We stopped in to use the shop while on the western swing and the Leoni family has adopted us!" stated ARCA RE/MAX Series competitor Andy Belmont.

Leoni Motor Express serves the Midwest with a fleet of 60 flatbed owner/operators. Third generation owners Bob & Ron Leoni have continued the 76 year family tradition, which has been driven by excellent service, flexibility and personal touch. To stay on the cutting edge, Leoni Motor Express has integrated computers and telecommunications from customers to drivers.

"We are a family-oriented business from office staff right down to the drivers," stated president Mike Leoni. "We like to have our office personnel and drivers home every night with their families. This, and serving our customers, of course, are our top priorities." "Given our strong sense of family, we felt there was great alignment with Andy Bemont -- who with five children has always made family a priority" stated Mike Leoni.

"On safety issues we strive to have good quality and safe equipment on the roads," stated vice president Dan Leoni. Whether company-owned or owner-operator equipment, all equipment is inspected in-house every six months, to ensure that all trucks meet DOT requirements. "We can't afford to put an unsafe truck out on the road. Andy had some time between events, so we took advantage of the time we had to give Andy's Volvo a complete overhaul -- traveling over 50,000 miles a year for ARCA events, promotions and testing takes wear and tear and we are glad to help a racing legend like Andy. He knows how to keep safe on the track, and we want to be sure he is equally as safe as he goes over the road"
