Scotts Miracle-Gro Company officials announced this morning they will continue as race sponsor of the spring NASCAR Nationwide Series event at the Bristol Motor Speedway through 2011.

"The Scotts Company has enjoyed the association we've had the past two years with Bristol Motor Speedway and we're very pleased and proud to announce that we'll be back with them in 2011," said Jim Shertzer, Scotts Brand Manager. "We had an absolutely amazing experience as a sponsor of the race last year and we know this weekend's Scotts Turf Builder 300 and Scotts EZ Seed Showdown will be just as special.

Carl Edwards, who carries the colors of Scotts on his Roush Fenway Racing Ford, commented on the companies decision to continue the Bristol partnership.

"I don't think there's a better fit than Scotts being a partner with Bristol Motor Speedway. That's an exciting race, that Nationwide race. I've won it once and was proud to do it. Hopefully, we can win it again for them."

The Scotts Turf Builder is scheduled to run today at 2:30 p.m. ET. Tickets are still available and can be purchased by calling 1-423--274-7865.
