Propper International Sponsors Richard Petty Driving Experience

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2017

St. Charles, MO — Leading military uniform and tactical gear company Propper International has joined the ranks of NASCAR sponsors with a one-year partnership with Richard Petty Driving Experience. In addition to providing apparel and gear to Richard Petty Driving Experience staff, Propper has wrapped one of the RPDE racecars in its company colors and logo, with the number 50 on the sides and top in honor of Propper’s 50th anniversary.

Started in 1967, Propper’s first military contract provided the iconic white Dixie Cup caps to the United States Navy. Over the next five decades, the company grew to become the country’s largest supplier of BDUs and ACUs to the US military. In 1991, Propper branched out into the commercial market to provide tactical gear and apparel to law enforcement personnel and civilians.

“NASCAR has a long history of supporting and honoring the men and women who fight for our freedom,” said John Negrau, VP, Marketing & eCommerce for Propper. “Our military heritage was a perfect complement to the mission of both organizations.”

Chris Tompkins, Corporate Operations Manager for RPDE, agreed. “This is a terrific opportunity to reflect Richard Petty Driving Experience’s continuing commitment to the armed forces and law enforcement communities,” Tompkins said. “Partnering with Propper was a logical choice.”

Richard Petty Driving Experience puts drivers in a NASCAR-style racecar for an adrenaline-pumping thrill of a lifetime that gets them as close to actual racing than they will ever get at more than 15 tracks around the country, including Daytona, Indy, Talladega, and Las Vegas.

tatiana-whitlock-by-firelance-media

St. Charles, MO — Propper International is proud to announce a partnership with defensive firearms instructor Tatiana Whitlock as a new brand ambassador.

“We are excited to be partnering with Tatiana as she joins our corps of ambassadors,” said John Negrau, Propper’s Director of E-Commerce. “Tatiana brings years of expertise in both firearms instruction and self-defense, and we are pleased she has joined the Propper team.”

Building on personal experience, Tatiana Whitlock formed her own firearms and defensive tactics training company based on the idea that training needs to go beyond the range and into everyday life. Today, she teaches men, women and youth to establish a real-world foundation of firearm skills, safety and situational awareness. A lifelong interest in martial arts resulted in the inevitable introduction to firearms as a means of self and home protection. She is a dedicated student as well as an instructor and travels across the country to train with top names in the industry.

“I’m really excited about becoming Propper’s first female ambassador,” Whitlock said. “Their new line of women’s products works really well with both law enforcement and civilian women who want flattering yet functional tactical apparel.”
