ServiceMaster Announces Phoenix Franchise Owner as Honorary Starter for ServiceMaster 200

Phoenix, AZ, November 07, 2013 --(PR.com)-- As recognition for ServiceMaster franchise owner Jeff Jackson’s dedication to the Phoenix area, ServiceMaster Clean and ServiceMaster Restore have appointed him as the honorary starter for Saturday’s ServiceMaster 200 at Phoenix International Raceway. The local franchise owner will wave the green flag at the beginning of the 200-lap event, signaling the start of the race.

“It’s a tremendous opportunity to be named honorary starter,” Jackson said. “On behalf of ServiceMaster franchise owners around the country, I am excited to represent them with this honor. I can’t imagine how it will feel being in the flag stand when the cars roar by on that first lap.”

“Jeff’s dedication to ServiceMaster and the local community make him the perfect representative of our brand for the ServiceMaster 200,” said Tom Coba, president of ServiceMaster Clean and ServiceMaster Restore. “We are thrilled to have him as an ambassador at this weekend’s race.”

Jackson founded the Phoenix-based ServiceMaster All Care Restoration in May 2005 which offers both ServiceMaster Clean and ServiceMaster Restore services including disaster restoration, residential and commercial cleaning and water and fire damage control. An active member of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, ServiceMaster All Care Restoration provides services to Phoenix, Tucson and Peoria, Ariz.

As the official sponsor of the yellow flag caution period for International Speedway Corporation (ISC) and PIR, track personnel and the track-drying equipment display the ServiceMaster Clean brand which can be seen frequently cleaning the race track, removing debris, and drying the track quickly and professionally to quickly get back to racing action.
