Bobby Labonte's Interstate Batteries NASCAR Race Car Visits Martell Pontiac GMC

By MacAdam Glinn

On Saturday, November 13th, from 10 AM to 6 PM, Martell Pontiac GMC hosted a special event for all the NASCAR fans out there. Bobby Labonte’s Number 18 Interstate Batteries Pontiac NASCAR Race Car and its Car Carrier was on display at the dealership.

The Interstate Batteries Winston Cup Racing Team is owned by former Washington Redskins Head Coach Joe Gibbs, a Pro Football Hall of Fame Inductee. Gibbs also fields two drag racing teams that compete in the NHRA.

Fans were able to see Gibbs’ and Labonte’s car up close and personal, as well as compare it against the variety of production automobiles that Martell has to offer. The Interstate Batteries Pontiac compares most favorably with the 1999 production model Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, in particular, especially in terms its exterior styling and dimensions.

Martell Pontiac GMC General Manager Nestor Mena, Jr. was clearly excited about the upcoming event.

“We’ll have the Interstate Batteries car here in conjunction with the upcoming Winston Race, the first ever in South Florida. Being that Pontiac is a big, long-time NASCAR supporter, it made sense that we welcome the Interstate Batteries car, which is derived from our own Pontiac Grand Prix,” said Mena.

And Mena planned several specials in conjunction with the event.

“We’ll be giving $4000 cash back on the purchase of a remaining 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix, and we plan big incentive deals on the purchase of a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix,” Mena explained.

If you have any questions about the event, you can contact Mena at Martell Pontiac GMC by calling 305 436 8400.

Martell Pontiac GMC is located right off the 836 Expressway and can be reached by taking the NW 87th Avenue Exit.

The address for Martell Pontiac GMC is 8505 NW 12th Street, just south of the Doral Community and just north of the 836 Expressway, between the Florida Turnpike and the 826 Expressway.
