Marine fuel management systems pioneer, Fueltrax, is sponsoring a Nigerian-born United States Naval Academy graduate and Navy officer, Lt. Jesse lwuji, for a marine race competition in Las Vegas.
The sponsorship will see Iwuji making his first-ever Las Vegas Motor Speedway start in the NASCAR Gander Outdoor Truck Series Race, making him the only military member racing in NASCAR that entire weekend and doing so with Reaume Bros Racing.
Fueltrax Chief Executive Officer, Anthony George, said the support was borne out of his passion and that of his wife to give back to society. “It’s always been a passion for my wife Michelle and I to give back to young men and women and help them reach their dreams. lwuji is a big dreamer and a hard worker and we are honoured to help him continue on his journey to success in NASCAR,” he said.
The West Africa Operations Manager of Fueltrax, Bene Okorie, also expressed gratitude to the Nigerian-based marine operators and proud to support lwuji both as ‘’one of our very own from our community, and as a first-generation American pursing his dreams. Nigerians everywhere should be proud of Jesse’s success”.
To Citracks, a locally-based service partner for Fueltrax in Nigeria, the gesture will further boost marine operations management both in Nigeria and the U.S, more so that over 50 per cent of Fueltrax operations are based in Nigeria.
