THE “OFFICIAL CHICKEN WING” OF LOWE’S MOTOR SPEEDWAY: QUAKER STEAK & LUBE® A PERFECT FIT!
SHARON, Pa. (May 2) -- Culinary historians have disputed the origin of the chicken wing for dozens of years. Some credit a Texas restaurateur for devising the concoction in an attempt to utilize more chicken parts, while others have pointed to Teressa Bellissimo, who fed her son and his friends a late snack in 1964 and devised a hot sauce recipe for her chicken wings and dipping sauce to cut the heat.
Nonetheless, while there remains a never-ending argument about the roots of the chicken wing, there is no debate about who perfected them: Quaker Steak & Lube®, the Award-Winning automotive-themed restaurant chain.
Speaking of perfect, Quaker Steak & Lube® is entering its fourth year as the Official Chicken Wings of Lowe’s Motor Speedway -- a perfect combination for race fans with a penchant for great racing and great food.
“Quaker Steak & Lube® has enjoyed a great partnership with Lowe’s Motor Speedway,” said Marla Pieton, Director of Franchise Marketing for Quaker Steak & Lube®. “People of all ages have always been fascinated with auto racing so this is a perfect fit for Quaker Steak & Lube® restaurants. If you like it hot, what more could one ask for than Quaker Steak & Lube® and the Lowe's Motor Speedway?”
Visitors to Quaker Steak & Lube® restaurants are amazed by the auto and racing memorabilia on display, including full-sized racecars and vintage motorcycles attached to the walls and ceilings. The loyal customer following of the Quaker Steak & Lube® concept led the company to franchise in 1997.
Now with 23 locations across America, “The Lube” serves more than 70 million of their famous tender and delectable Buffalo-style chicken wings each year. Quaker Steak & Lube® has won the title of “Best Wings USA” and has garnered over 100 local, national and international awards for their sauce recipes, which range from BBQ and Ranch to Atomic, which is so hot that customers are required to sign a release form to try 'em!
The Quaker Steak & Lube® 200 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race is slated for Friday, May 18, at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. Quaker Steak & Lube® has been a part of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series line-up since 2003, when Ted Musgrave won the inaugural 200-mile race at Lowe's Motor Speedway. Dennis Setzer captured the trophy in 2004 and Kyle Busch is the defending champion of the event, winning back-to-back in 2005-06.
The Quaker Steak & Lube® 200 will air live on SPEED Channel on Friday, May 18, beginning at 8:30 p.m. The event will also be broadcast on MRN Radio. Tickets for the event are available by visiting Lowe’s Motor Speedway online at www.lowesmotorspeedway.com.
