Designs series logos, and will provide additional corporate branding expertise

Rochester, NY – May 21, 2014: The Tread City Tire / Western New York Super Rod Association (WNYSRA) is pleased to officially announce their partnership with Dan the Sign Man out of Tonawanda, NY.

When Dan DeLaney a.k.a. Dan the Sign Man was asked why he wanted to be involved with the WNYSRA, the industry expert who has won numerous awards and accolades replied, “I’ve had an interest in race cars since I was a young boy after regularly attending the Clutch Artists’ Autorama car shows at the Masten Street Armory in Buffalo, NY with my dad, Art, who happened to be in charge of the armory. This had a huge influence on me, not only fueling my passion for drag racing, but also by motivating me to become a professional sign painter. Since I joined the trade over 40 years ago, racers in Western New York have been supporting me, and helping our local racing series is one of the ways I enjoy giving back to the racing community of the area.”
