Mission Foods has extensive involvement across the motorsport industry, yet their partnership for the NASCAR race weekend at Watkins Glen International was their first in the sport. The multi-year agreement between Watkins Glen International and Mission Foods, which began last year, kickstarted the tortilla company\u2019s engagement in NASCAR.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mission Foods began as a small tortilla factory in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles and is now the No. 1 tortilla manufacturer in the U.S., cooking up specialty tortillas, chips, baked products, snacks and more. Over the years, Mission has expanded across multiple countries and continents, becoming the global brand it is today.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

We\u2019re proud to serve as title sponsor for both the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series and the NASCAR Xfinity Series races at Watkins Glen International,\u201d said Juan Gonzalez, Mission Foods Chief Executive Officer. \u201cThis partnership reflects our commitment to delivering memorable experiences, creating meaningful connections with fans, and celebrating the high-energy spirit of NASCAR weekend at The Glen.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NASCAR race weekend at Watkins Glen International kicks off on Friday, Aug. 8 with the ARCA Menards General Tire 100 at The Glen followed by the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Mission 176 at The Glen. Then, Saturday, Aug. 9, fans can catch the NASCAR Xfinity Series Mission 200 at The Glen.\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u202fIn all comes to a head on Sunday, Aug. 10, drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series will battle it out on the 2.45-mile road course in the Go Bowling at The Glen at Watkins Glen International.\u202f\u202f\u00a0\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
