Hall Bros. Racing is proud to announce that Hotsy Cleaning Systems, the number 1 name in industrial cleaning equipment, has increased their involvement with the team. “Hotsy has been a great partner over the last three years” team co-owner Tim Hall said. “Their first class industrial quality cleaning equipment helps keep RAMINATOR and RAMMUNITION looking good all year long. The monster trucks, the haulers… everything here gets cleaned each week with various Hotsy cleaning machines. I can certainly say they make the best pressure washing equipment I have ever seen!”

As an exciting part of the new agreement, an all new “Hotsy RAMINATOR” body will be created, and it will be used in select events and make various appearances in 2010 and beyond. Driver Mark Hall said “We are very proud of the new Hotsy RAMINATOR. I can’t wait to get it on the track! I am really glad that the people at Hotsy like what we have done for them in the past, and want to increase their involvement. I think that says a lot about our team.”

Robin Paul, Marketing Communications Manager for Hotsy added “Hotsy Cleaning Systems is proud to partner with Hall Bros. Racing to create the Hotsy RAMINATOR. We see many similar characteristics between the RAMINATOR truck and our line of heavy duty pressure washers. Rugged, durable, high performance machines…it’s a perfect match!”

A schedule of Hotsy RAMINATOR appearances will be released soon. For more information on Hall Bros. Racing, check out www.raminator.com, and for more information on Hotsy Cleaning Systems, go to www.hotsy.com.
