Rigid joins King Shocks, Monster Energy on growing list of new SCORE sponsors
SAN DIEGO—Looking to find a way to help light his pathway to the future of desert racing, SCORE International’s Roger Norman has selected Arizona’s Rigid Industries as the official lighting company for the world’s foremost desert racing organization. Joining with another relatively new company in Rigid, Norman’s new SCORE continues to rapidly expand its base of sponsor partners heading into the 2013 SCORE Desert Series.
Since 2004, Rigid Industries of Mesa, Ariz., has emerged as an industry leader and originator of the most efficient LED lighting solutions. Leading the Rigid Elite Torture Team of prominent SCORE desert racers is three-time SCORE Trophy Truck season point champion B.J. Baldwin of Las Vegas.
The sponsorship agreement includes Rigid being the official lights of SCORE International as well as the other desert racing series Norman owns—the High Desert Racing Association and the new World Championship of Desert Racing bonus point program.
“SCORE will continue to strive to help evolve our sport of desert racing and with the technology of Rigid Industries LED lights, this exciting sponsorship is a major stepping stone in that process,” said Norman in making the announcement. “Rigid likes to refer to their racers as being on the ‘torture team’ that tests their products and now both SCORE and HDRA will add a new level of ‘torture’ to their research and development.”
In addition to three-time SCORE Trophy Truck season point champ Baldwin (2006, 2008 and 2012) other key SCORE racers and teams that are part of the Rigid Elite Torture Team are COPS Racing (John Langley, Morgan Langley and Zak Langley) Green Army (Justin Davis, Kyle LeDuc), Dan Chamlee, Steve Hengeveld and Brandon Walsh.
“Rigid Industries is honored to become the official lighting company for the future of desert racing with Roger Norman’s purchase of SCORE International and re-starting of HDRA,” commented Taylor Anderson, a partner in and Vice-President of Rigid Industries. “Sal Fish will be missed for all of the contributions he made to lay the foundation for this sport but we also know that Roger will launch desert racing into amazing new frontiers.”
