Playa Del Racing extends relationship with National

Playa Del Racing has extended its relationship with National Car Rental and Arelco Inc. through the 2007 Indy Pro Series season and the 91st running of the Indianapolis 500. Arelco Inc. is an independent licensee of National Car Rental. The company currently owns and operates more than 35 locations across the nation. The company was founded in 1962 by William H. Smith in Indianapolis, where the company is still headquartered.

"We are very excited to extend our relationship with Playa Del Racing through the 2007 season," said Arelco Executive Vice President Kim Smith. "This team is a first-class operation that really knows how to have fun with the fans and the sponsors. I think National Car Rental is a perfect fit with the PDR organization."

The National logo has adorned every PDR car that has been entered by the squad. "We have developed a long-lasting relationship with the great people at National Car Rental here in Indianapolis, and we hope to help them further develop their business through our operations." Playa Del Racing co-owner Susan Schafer said. "Arelco is a fabulous local company, and we want to help them grow."

Playa Del Racing has entered two cars in this year's Indianapolis 500.
