GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare has just announced that it�s just become the first quit-smoking sponsor in NASCAR history.  The company�s Nicorette gum, Nicoderm C-Q patches and Commit lozenges are associate sponsors of Chip Ganassi Racing Team�s number 41 Target Dodge Charger.  Driver Casey Mears will race the car with a special Nicorette Fresh Mint paint job in March:
 
�We�re very excited to partner with GlaxoSmithKline and help NASCAR fans and the general public  learn how they can lead smoke-free lives.  It�s great to work with a sponsor that not only helps us, but the fans as well."

At 23 races this season, NASCAR fans can visit G-S-K�s entertaining and interactive Winner�s Circle Exhibit to receive free quit-smoking counseling and spend some time behind the wheel of a racing simulator.  NASCAR celebrities Casey Mears, Richard Petty and Kyle Petty will also visit the exhibit on special occasions.  For more information about quitting smoking and the Winner�s Circle Program, log on to quit-dot-com.
