Rock’n’roll legends KISS will run their legendary logo and colours on the Penrite Racing Supercars of David Reynolds and Anton De Pasquale in a world-first partnership to promote their Newcastle show and the band’s ‘End of the Road’ Australian Tour in November.
KISS has endorsed a landmark agreement for their globally celebrated KISS logo and imagery to appear on the two Penrite Racing Supercars at the Vodafone Gold Coast 600 and Newcastle 500.
The covers were taken off the one-off colours by the Penrite Racing team in Melbourne today, ahead of the Australian leg of the KISS ‘End of the Road’ world tour in November.
Reynolds, who donned the iconic KISS makeup as part of today’s announcement, said it’s an honour to have one of the world’s biggest ever bands feature on his Supercar.
“KISS is one of the biggest bands in the history of music and I am absolutely stoked to get the chance to race in the famous band colours, it’s a huge honour,” Reynolds said.
KISS plays its only outdoor show of the upcoming farewell tour at the Newcastle 500 on Saturday November 23. It’s also their only regional performance and one of only two shows in New South Wales.
Supported on the night by Newcastle’s own Screaming Jets, the band’s performance at Newcastle’s No.1 Sportsground is expected to sell out and bring in thousands of extra visitors to the region. To have the two KISS Supercars racing that day is something KISS fans will not want to miss.
The Coates Hire Newcastle 500 is the season finale of the 2019 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship and will run from 22-24 November on the streets of Newcastle’s CBD.
Tickets are still available to the event from Ticketek and special Rock’nRace tickets are available for fans to gain acccess to a full day of racing and the concert.
The Coates Hire Newcastle 500 was secured exclusively for Newcastle for five years by the NSW Government via its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW, in partnership with the Newcastle City Council.
