Vancouver-based Chandler Development Group Inc. has signed on as title sponsor of Jensen MotorSport (JMS) driver Frankie Muniz for his rookie season on the Champ Car Atlantic circuit.
“Acquiring a feature sponsor like the Chandler Development Group is a milestone for Frankie’s racing career,” says team President Eric Jensen. “He’s a promising new driver and this partnership is a testament to his abilities. Jensen MotorSport is proud to have Chandler Development join the team and we’re all looking forward to a successful racing season.”
The exciting new deal will see Muniz’s car branded as #13 Chandler Team Jensen. It will also give Chandler high-profile brand visibility with logo placement on the car, helmet and racing suit of Muniz in addition to exclusive opportunities for contesting and promotions featuring the young actor-turned-driver.
Muniz, 21, is an Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated actor best known for his lead role in the critically acclaimed FOX television series ‘Malcolm in the Middle’. He recently put his acting career on hold to pursue a professional driving career and will compete in four Canadian races this summer: the inaugural Mont Tremblant Grand Prix, the Grand Prix of Toronto and a double-header at the Edmonton Grand Prix.
“When Chandler Development decided to get involved in racing, we went looking for a driver and team that would exemplify the same standards of excellence that our company upholds,” says Mark Chandler, president of the real estate development group. “We found exactly what we were looking for in Frankie and Jensen MotorSport. This partnership is a great alignment for our company, especially as we continue to focus on expanding our brand across North America.”
The Chandler Development Group is an aggressive, growth-oriented real estate development company that has brought leading retail, commercial and residential projects to the greater Vancouver area for more than 20 years. The Group’s deal with Jensen MotorSport marks its first venture into auto racing sponsorship.
