Phoenix International Raceway President Bryan R. Sperber has announced that four-time Super Bowl Champion Bill Romanowski will serve as the Honorary Pace Car Driver for the Bashas' Supermarkets 200 NASCAR Busch Series race on Friday, April 20. Under the lights on Phoenix's one-mile oval, Romanowski will help lead the field of 43 Busch Series cars toward the green flag.

"We are thrilled that Bill will pilot one of the Chevrolet Monte Carlos that will lead the field in the Bashas' Supermarkets 200," said Sperber. "Bill's style on the football field was to run wide open and we believe that will translate well to the racetrack."

The Bashas' Supermarkets 200 is set to take the green flag at 6:30 p.m. and will feature nearly 20 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series drivers including Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards and Juan Pablo Montoya. Under the lights at PIR, Kevin Harvick cruised to Gatorade Victory Lane last April in the Bashas' Supermarkets 200 en route to his second NASCAR Busch Series Championship.

"I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as the Honorary Pace Car Driver and I am truly looking forward to the event.  What I really enjoy about NASCAR is how important the team concept is.  The drivers are only as good as the team that supported them," said Romanowski. "Whether it be winning a NASCAR race or a Super Bowl, the whole team has to be performing at their best to take home a victory."

Away from NASCAR, Romanowski is busy launching his new nutrition company, Nutrition 53, Inc, and his new ask website, AskRomo.com (http://www.Askromo.com).   Nutrition 53 (http://www.Nutrition53.com ) is dedicated to providing premium nutritional products that can dramatically enhance one's quality of life and performance.
