TOOELE VALLEY, UTAH (March 20, 2008) – Rodizio Grill, the popular Brazilian steakhouse located in Salt Lake City and Denver, has made a significant increase in its sponsorship participation at Miller Motorsports Park for the 2008 season.

"Rodizio Grill has been a great partner for us," said Miller Motorsports CEO and General Manager Alan Wilson. "We are extremely pleased that they are increasing their participation for 2008, and particularly pleased about their support of our karting programs. Karting is an integral part of what we do, and it is critically important for developing future talent. Rodizio Grill understands that completely, and it’s very gratifying that they have stepped up with such great enthuasiasm." "Since Rodizio Grill is an authentic Brazilian steakhouse, and considering the rich racing tradition of Brazil, we felt compelled to be involved in the sport, especially with the level of excellence that Miller Motorsports Park provides," said Ivan Utrera, president of Rodizio Grill. "Miller Motorsports Park is a major tourist attraction. As such, Rodizio Grill stands to benefit from that as a destination restaurant, as will the surrounding cities and counties and the state. We could think of no better way to be involved than to support the up-and-coming talent who will be the household names of the future." Miller Motorsports Park has developed kart championships to encourage and develop kart racing in Utah and the surrounding region. Karting is the most popular method for young people to learn racing skills, and is also a great family-oriented recreational activity.
