Kimmel to Participate in National Safety Council's Congress and Expo on Behalf of Ansell

CORNELIUS, N.C. (October 23, 2009) -- Just two weeks removed from the completion of the 2009 ARCA RE/MAX Series season and Frank Kimmel is still on the move for his sponsor.

Kimmel travels this weekend to the "Sunshine State" of Florida on behalf of Ansell, to attend the National Safety Council's annual Congress and Expo. The Congress and Expo are being held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.

"It's been an honor to represent Ansell this year," said Kimmel. "I really enjoy racing for a company that gets so involved with the program on a weekly basis. We've seen a ton of support from the area managers and customers at race tracks across the country, so for me to be able to turn the tables and attend an event for Ansell seems like a great opportunity to learn more about their safety and healthcare business."

The veteran driver and nine-time ARCA Champion will participate in the three day event by signing autographs for attendees during a four hour block on both Monday and Tuesday. Kimmel will appear at Ansell's display booth, as the company joins nearly 800 exhibitors in the largest annual expo in the world dedicated exclusively to the safety, health and environmental industries.

In addition to the multiple appearances by Kimmel, the No. 44 Ansell/Menards Ford Fusion will be on display for thousands of people roaming the convention center, along with a race worn uniform used by Kimmel during 2009 competition. For safety enthusiasts who want to take home a piece of the racing action, an auction will be held for both an official Kimmel Racing, Ansell branded crew shirt as well as an Ansell branded racing helmet.
