Sony Car Audio Presents Professional Racers in Booth at 2024 SEMA Show

LAS VEGAS, NV (11.01.24) – Sony Car Audio will host sponsored professional race car drivers Ryan Preece (NASCAR) and Dylan Hughes (Formula Drift) in their booth #10325 at the annual SEMA Show, held at the Las Vegas Convention Center from November 5th to 8th, 2024.

Preece, driver of the Stewart Haas #41 NASCAR Ford Mustang Dark Horse, and Hughes, Formula Drift driver of the Royal Purple/Permatex #129 BMW, will attend the show and sign autographs for attending fans in the Sony Car Audio booth #10325 in the Las Vegas Convention Center North Hall from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM on Thursday, November 7th, 2024.

Both drivers are avid performance car enthusiasts both on and off the track, and enthusiastic Sony Car Audio fans that use the products in their rides. The racers have been sponsored for several years and have even sported custom Sony livery.

The driver autograph signing will headline an exciting booth displaying a stunning customized 1966 Pontiac Catalina called “Big Cat,” built by longtime Sony custom show car builder John Wargo of The Custom Shop out of Flanagan, Illinois. The Catalina features a full Sony Car Audio system, showing off the Sony XAV-AX8500 and Sony GS speakers, amplifiers, and subwoofers.

A rare 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse will also debut in the booth. Owned by GoFast Solutions, Sony’s authorized car audio distributor for New England, it sports a fully OEM integrated Sony Mobile ES audio system built by B.J. Curcio of Broken Silence Custom Car Audio in Greenwich, Connecticut. The system rocks loud and clear when you want to switch to your favorite tunes instead of soaking up the impressive sound of the 5.0L Coyote V-8 engine and Borla exhaust in this high-tech track-capable daily driver.

Sony’s Tech Team will be on-site to demonstrate the products and answer questions about them, finding Sony products locally, and even becoming a Sony authorized retailer during the show.

You can see the cars and meet the drivers at the Sony Car Audio booth #10325 at the SEMA Show, or you can contact your local authorized Sony Car Audio retailer for more information on these exciting products.
