"We just recently changed our name to Argent Mortgage Company in January," said Johanna Padberg, Vice President of Marketing.

With the agreement, Argent Mortgage will receive recognition as a Grand Prix Official Sponsor and the Atlantic Race Title Sponsor in all of the Grand Prix collateral materials, PA announcements, advertisements, publicity and television coverage. They will also receive television exposure with signage around the Grand Prix race circuit.
