I have cross marketed and worked with Erik and the team previously on smaller ventures, but in the late hours of the preseason, we were able to put this massive deal together and get PowerBass to ride with us as our primary sponsor for 2022. I had a lot of fun working with the team in Ontario to come up with the perfect rendering to represent the company. In the end, the car looks amazing! We have some awesome races on the schedule, and we are focused on landing this hot rod in the NASCAR Victory Lane!” – #29 Brian Obiedzenski

This has been something we both talked about for a couple of years now but finally were able to make it work. Brian is very down to earth car guy by heart and his passion for that shows in the dedication to racing NASCAR as well as wanting to be involved with a car audio brand such as ours. We look forward to promoting our OE Direct Fit Series in a fun and fast 2022 season on and off the track with the PowerBass Chevrolet ZL1 Camaro.” – Erik Harbour Vice President PowerBass USA., Inc

When you saw the look on their faces their responses were anticipated. The F#1 is $35,000 retail cost and each piece is hand built.
