night hobby dirt trackers to a full-time asphalt business. He has seen first
hand where companies benefit from their
marketing dollars.

racing endeavors. If you ask Bill where he banks...”Union Planters Bank of
Shelbyville.” If you were
to ask him to refer a truck driver for a job....”Nationwide Express.” “I like to have a personal relationship
with my marketing partners. It is
important that you give them the
support they deserve,” Christie says.

deserve recognition
are 4-Lane Motors and Main

Tire, both of
Shelbyville, TN. Bill Christie has been
and still is a loyal employee of 4-Lane Motors. He has worked there for the
past four years, while working and racing his
way through college. Harper Precision Performance, in
Hendersonville has played a major role, and Bill continues to refer race car
drivers to Mitchell Harper for his expertise in building engines. “Without marketing partners and the loyalty
of the fans, there would be no racing,” Christie states. “In today’s economy,
you have to get every bang for your buck that you can; that’s what makes it a marketing
partnership....not a sponsorship.”
