Is Your Reaction Time Faster Than NASCAR Driver Josh Bilicki? Find Out During the Zeigler Kalamazoo Marathon Health Expo, Saturday, April 23, 2022 in Downtown Kalamazoo
I’m extremely excited to drive the fully branded Zeigler Auto Group Camaro as the pace car at the Zeigler Kalamazoo Marathon! Believe it or not, it will be my first time ever driving a pace car… I’m also excited to spend some more time in Kalamazoo, Mich. where Zeigler has its home base.
KALAMAZOO, Mich. (PRWEB)
April 12, 2022
Today the Zeigler Kalamazoo Marathon announced that its Kalamazoo Health Expo will be returning to Downtown Kalamazoo on Saturday, April 23, 2022. The Expo will feature NASCAR driver Josh Bilicki, who is sponsored by Zeigler Auto Group and currently drives 77 for Spire Motorsports. The event will also include final registration and packet pick up for pre-registered runners/walkers, athlete support for pre-race needs like stretching and taping; plus other fun and interactive activities for the whole family.
“I’m extremely excited to drive the fully branded Zeigler Auto Group Camaro as the pace car at the Zeigler Kalamazoo Marathon! Believe it or not, it will be my first time ever driving a pace car, so my role is going to be much different than what I am used to. I’m excited to spend some more time in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where Zeigler has its home base,” said Bilicki, who will be available for photo ops, and autographs.
The Zeigler-sponsored driver will also stop by the Athletic Mentors tent and set a baseline for his reaction speed using Fitlight, a light training system used by top athletes around the world. The system uses a series of lights to measure and improve agility and reaction time in order to help top athletes like Bilicki achieve their best performance during athletic events. The public, especially kids, are encouraged to stop by to see if their reaction time is faster than the NASCAR racecar driver.
“We are thrilled to be able to have someone like Josh support us at this event which is so special to Kalamazoo. We are also excited to feature all of our sponsors that have made all of this possible, and be able to do it in a fun way with fun activities for the whole family to enjoy,” said Aaron Zeigler, president and CEO of Zeigler Auto Group, the event’s overall title sponsor.
