GOLDEN VALLEY, MN — Officials with Rally America, Inc. announced today that Louis Chevrolet Watches from Switzerland and RaceWatches.com of Homestead, Florida have agreed to serve as a multi-year sponsor of the popular Rally America Contingency Program for the remainder of the 2010 Rally America National Rally Championship and for the entire 2011 National Championship as well. In addition to participating in the Contingency Program for the next two years, Louis Chevrolet Watches and RaceWatches.com will also provide Swiss-made Louis Chevrolet watches, valued at approximately $1,500 each, to the Overall Driver and Co-Driver Champions of the Rally America National Championships for the next two years as well as the All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) and Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) Series Champion drivers for the recently announced Rally America European-style Rally Cross Series for 2010 and 2011. Rally America�s inaugural European-style Rally Cross series starts this coming August with a 3-event series at the recently opened New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, New Jersey.

In a recent statement from Anthony Castaneira from RaceWatches.com, �We looked at numerous motorsports series before we decided on Rally America to market our business and our line of fine watches. The fact that Rally racing is the most timing-dependent form of motorsport in North America is just half of reason. Rally America, through their Regional and National Rally Championships as well as their new European-style Rally Cross series, does an outstanding job of combining both the excitement of motorsports with a unique combination of professionalism, at the same time embracing the grassroots racer � it�s a perfect fit for RaceWatches.com.�

RaceWatches.com carries the finest examples of wristwatches from some of the best watchmakers around the world and every timepiece they offer is an example of the master art form of watch design, function and ruggedness.

Rally car racing is considered the extreme sport of automobile racing and is often described simply as �real cars, real roads, real fast�. This all-season motorsport sees drivers and their co-drivers take modified road cars to the limit as they achieve blistering speeds over courses that cover more than 100 miles of gravel, dirt or snow-covered roads.
