Laguna Beach, California — A premier lineup of personal endorsements has been announced for Michael Lewis and his campaign in the No. 41 EFFORT Racing/Curb-Agajanian Porsche 911 GT3 R during the 2016 Pirelli World Challenge (PWC).
Michael will take on the role of ambassador as he represents such notable organizations as The Smile Generation, Curb Records, Cometic Gasket Inc., and ASE with their logos appearing on Michael’s helmet, suit, and Porsche 911 GT3 R race car.
“It will be so great to have many of my core partners return for another season with EFFORT Racing and Porsche Motorsport North America,” explained Michael Lewis. “Each partner allows me to represent them in an ambassadorial role within motorsports, and it is a pleasure to be able to do so. It is so awesome to see The Smile Generation and Curb Records return as leading contributors as well. Curb Records has so much history within racing, and it’s really special to represent Mr. Mike Curb and Mr. Cary Agajanian in the sports-car world. Having the ‘Smile’ logos from The Smile Generation on our car, my gear, and generally throughout my lifestyle will be unique for us. I mean, what’s better than having the word ‘Smile’ on your gear? Surely that will make someone out there happy, or at least make a fan watching our races smile! Cometic Gasket Inc., ASE, and everyone onboard are successful and professional entities; each sharing the common thread of having passion and fun in what they do. It is so cool to be part of a group of people like that, and it will be an honor to represent them during the season.”
As with last year, both fans and sponsors of Michael Lewis will be able to see live-streamed broadcasts of all Pirelli World Challenge races in 2016 at www.world-challengetv.com, while the races will be broadcast on television via CBS Sports Network on a tape-delayed basis. Dates and times will be announced soon.
