22 maart 2017  

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona – (March 21, 2017) – Hostile Wheels has renewed its commitment to Arie Luyendyk Jr. and his endeavors for the 2017 season. Luyendyk, the driver of the #25 UFD Racing Stadium SUPER Truck, will carry Hostile wheels branding while contesting in all North American and Chinese rounds this season. Luyendyk is also setting his sights on a return to the dirt for a limited short-course schedule, as well as pursuing a return to sports car racing.

“It’s amazing to have a partner that allows the flexibility to promote their brand through all the different forms of motorsport that I set my sights on,” stated Luyendyk, “The design and strength of their off-road race wheel is second to none. Now, seeing Hostile’s street version, Podium, gives me a sense of pride that I could be a part of the development. Having Hostile wheels on my street and race trucks has been something I’m very proud of. I’m excited to help promote the brand again in 2017.”

“It’s great to have Arie Luyendyk Jr. back on board after experiencing success together the last few years in the TORC series,” said Bill Koenig, Executive Vice President of MKW Alloy wheels, “Hostile Off-road wheels is a premium brand that has high standards. Our philosophies line up well and we look forward to working together to have a successful year with Arie and Hostile.”

“I’ve always had a lot of respect for Arie and I am proud to be partnered with him again in 2017,” continued Koenig, “I believe this partnership will help boost our brand, elevate awareness and generate potential sales.”

Next up, Luyendyk heads to Long Beach, California on April 8-9 to battle for the win in the Stadium SUPER Truck Series. See the Hostile-backed driver all year on the schedule below.
