WATPAC STAYS ON TRACK IN RACE
LEADING national construction company Watpac has retained the naming rights to Townsville’s most popular event on wheels.
Supercars will return to the North in July for the 2019 Watpac Townsville 400.
It is the third consecutive year Watpac has been the naming rights partner of North Queensland’s largest annual event.
Watpac managing director Martin Monro said that the Watpac Townsville 400 was an iconic community-based event for the company to partner with again this year.
“We’re delighted to continue our partnership with one of Supercars’ premier events for 2019,” he said.
“Watpac has been a part of the Townsville community for 20 years and sponsorship of the Townsville 400 has allowed us to contribute to the greater promotion of the region while supporting local businesses who help deliver this exciting event.”
Supercars chief executive Sean Seamer said the construction company’s continued support was a great endorsement for the event, which would be critical to the region following the recent floods.
“This year is particularly significant given recent events in the region, so we look forward to a special show for the people of Townsville and North Queensland,” he said.
This year’s off-track entertainment for the Watpac Townsville 400 will be announced tomorrow, just 100 days out from the event.
The Watpac Townsville 400 will take place from July 5-7, with tickets now available through Ticketek.
