"We are very excited to welcome Mohegan Sun as a title sponsor on our biggest race weekend of the year," said Rust. "Their strong ties with the Busch North Series through their commitment as title sponsor with the No. 40 car of Matt Kobyluck and their regional location make them a perfect fit."

"We're looking forward to an exciting race at Watkins Glen. The Mohegan Sun 150 Presented by Pepsi is part of what promises to be the premier weekend of racing in New York this year," said Mitchell Etess, executive vice president of marketing, Mohegan Sun. "Mohegan Sun is committed to sports entertainment in the Northeast. We have a longstanding relationship with Kobyluck Racing as part of the Busch North Series, and we have brought professional and college men's and women's basketball, boxing, bowling, and football to New England."
