Battery winners seem whelmed

July 28th, 2010

These fans of Team Interstate/JGR’s Joey Logano won a year’s worth of batteries, courtesy of Interstate All Battery Center, at the Coke Zero 400 race in Daytona this month. We appreciate their enthusiasm, although they seem a bit, um, “whelmed” by the prize.

News story on battery tests features ED-18 analyzer

July 16th, 2010

Interstate Batteries’ ED-18 analyzer took a starring role in this news report from a Wichita, Kansas, TV station. The station interviewed garage owner (and Interstate Batteries Dealer) John Panella on the effects of summer heat on car batteries. John’s tester of choice is the ED-18, which tests a battery’s conductance, or ability to deliver current, and gives you a quick snapshot of your battery’s overall health. The ED-18 can even predict the temperature at which your battery is likely to fail to start your vehicle. That’s important information to know, and it can help you avoid problems by replacing your battery BEFORE it fails.

Kyle Busch signs autographs for cancer patient

July 9th, 2010

Shari Elliott was recently diagnosed with cancer for the third time. Since she’s a big NASCAR fan and a fan of Kyle Busch in particular, she reached out to the team at Joe Gibbs Racing to see if she could get an autograph from the superstar driver when the family attended the Coke Zero 400 in Daytona. JGR notified Interstate Batteries, who sponsored the No. 18 car that week. We were proud to welcome Shari and her family to the Interstate All Battery Center hospitality tent and arrange for a private autograph session with Kyle. What’s more, Shari got to spend some time with Coach Joe Gibbs to pray and discuss faith during her struggle with cancer. We’re in your corner, Shari!
