Salem, IN (January 18, 2012) – CRA officials have announced that Rheem has agreed to be the Title Sponsor of the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by GM Performance Parts 150 lap event with SpeedFest 2012 at Watermelon Capital Speedway, in Cordele, GA, January 28-29, 2012. The Rheem 150 will pit many of the country’s best Pro Late Model racers against each other in an effort to win this prestigious event.

Chase Elliott took home the win in last year’s Pro Late Model Event with SpeedFest in what many people said was one of the best all time finishes they had ever seen when Elliott emerged from the middle of a three car battle for the win, coming out of turn four to barely grab the checkers. Elliott is entered for the Rheem 150, but will have some stiff competition from the likes of Bubba Pollard, Mike Garvey, Dwayne Buggay, Daniel Hemric, Ricky Brooks, Kyle Benjamin and Korey Ruble and many others who are all also entered for the Rheem 150.
