All of us at Bennett Lane winery are proud to announce that we have entered into a multi-year partnership with Infineon Raceway in Sonoma that will make us the title sponsor of the NASCAR Camping World SeriesWest Event. On Saturday, June 21st, local racing fans and wineBennett Lane lovers
will gather at the Sonoma Valley track, to cheer for the home team at the 'Bennett Lane Winery 200' race, which will serve as the main eventon the Saturday of the Toyota/Save Mart 350 event weekend, June 20th-22nd.  Randy Lynch has often said "I want to turn beer guzzlers in to wine drinkers one race at a time." As the title sponsor, he'll speed ahead towards this goal, as Bennett Lane's White and Red Maximus wines will be sold by the glass at the raceway.  "It's a thrill to be able to combine my two favorite things--wine and NASCAR racing--and I'm excited to share Bennett Lane's award-winning wines with NASCAR fans right here in our own backyard," says Bennett Lane Winery owner
Randy Lynch.

In 2007, the Bennett Lane Winery team claimed its first NASCAR Grand National Division West Series Championship with driver Mike David behind wheel of the #2 Bennett Lane Winery Ford. At the 'Bennett Lane Winery 200', fans can look forward to the return of the Maximus car, a black Ford Fusion named for Bennett Lane's signature red wine blend, Maximus--a unique blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. The Maximus car will return for second chance at victory on June 21st with NASCAR legend Parnelli Jones' son, P.J. Jones, in the driver's seat. "Team Maximus" is led by Randy's wife, Lisa Lynch, who created a light-hearted family rivalry with the debut of the #24 Maximus car at the Infineon raceway in 2007. "Our family thrives on competition," says Lisa. "And once fans get a taste of Maximus, there's no doubt who they'll be rooting for," she says.


We would love to have all of our Wine Club members and Bennett Lane fans join us at the track for our big day.  Buy wine now to earn your tickets to the big show.  For those of you that can't make it to the race, we will have the race live in the wine cellar at Bennett Lane Winery.  More details coming as the race approaches.
