Bowker MINI is sponsoring Lancashire racing driver Ashley Gregory.
The three-time Junior Ministox Champion will be one of only two female competitors in this year’s Vertu MINI Challenge Series.
The partnership with the Blackburn and Preston-based car centres means Bowker MINI will appear on Ashley’s race suit and car and the display banner outside the awning at events.
Gregory said: “Racing is my life; it’s all I’ve ever wanted to do. Bowker’s support is a wonderful validation of my efforts and achievements so far. The Vertu MINI Challenge is a real step up for me. But with the right people behind the team, it’s exciting to dream about what we can achieve together.”
This season, Ashley is competing in the Vertu MINI Challenge Series for the second year. Her entry into the series in the first year marked a significant step up in competition. Ashley finished P12 in class and enjoyed two rookie wins. A successful season she now hopes to build on.
Jonathan Rogan for Bowker MINI said: “We are thrilled to support a young talent like Ashley.
It’s important that Lancashire encourages young people with such a passion for motorsport in the county. Ashley has already enjoyed enviable success. We look forward to seeing more podiums and trophies this season. We are proud to be part of Ashley’s journey.”
