ATLANTA, May 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Aaron's No. 55 Dream Machine will sport a new look for the May 9 NASCAR Sprint Series race in Kansas City. The car will transform into the No. 55 SpongeBob SquarePants Aaron's Toyota Camry.

The tribute to the popular animated cartoon character is fitting because this year's race at Kansas Speedway has been dubbed the Nickelodeon® SpongeBob SquarePants 400 by NASCAR. The race sponsor, Nickelodeon®, created the television series in 1999 and watched it grow to become the top animated program with children 2-11 for more than 13 consecutive years.

This marks David Ragan's first race driving the No. 55 Aaron's Toyota Camry for Michael Waltrip Racing but for the younger NASCAR fans, Ragan's No. 55 will be the car featuring the pop culture phenomenon SpongeBob SquarePants.

"Racing as the featured car at the Nickelodeon® SpongeBob SquarePants 400 is a fun way for Aaron's to connect with children and families who are fans of NASCAR and fans of Aaron's," said Andrea Freeman, Vice President of Marketing, Aaron's, Inc. "The race also gives us an opportunity to invest in another important partnership for Aaron's -- Boys & Girls Clubs of America."

In mid-2014, Aaron's announced a $1 million partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America and has since performed Keystone Club makeovers at Boys & Girls Clubs in San Antonio, Nashville, and in Los Angeles. As guests of Aaron's, members of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Kansas City will attend the May 9 race and participate in various activities.

Among those in attendance will be Courtney Calhoun, the 2015 Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Kansas City Youth of the Year, who will be escorting David Ragan, driver of the No. 55 SpongeBob SquarePants Aaron's Toyota Camry, during Driver Introductions.

Aaron's also celebrated the Nickelodeon® SpongeBob SquarePants 400 with several pre-race promotions. Its 13 Kansas City-area stores offered a sweepstakes for customers to win tickets to the race, and the No. 55 Show Car made appearances at three area stores.

The Nickelodeon® SpongeBob SquarePants 400, which will be broadcast on May 9 at 7:30 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1, will feature a weekend of activities and fun for the entire family.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nickelodeon today announced world-renowned artist KAWS is reimagining SpongeBob SquarePants for the SpongeBob 400 Sprint Cup race on May 9, at the Kansas Speedway. Through this collaboration, KAWS will bring his dynamic, and avant-garde, interpretation of the most absorbing personality on all TV to NASCAR fans across the country. Elements will feature the artist's KAWSBOB character and include a custom 3-ft. trophy and a 70-ft. x 900-ft. mural spanning the track's backstretch.


"I have a great appreciation for the aesthetic of SpongeBob. The character's positive outlook and the shows vibrant colors have inspired me to create several pieces over the years," said KAWS. "The SpongeBob 400 Sprint Cup presented a unique opportunity to bring KAWSBOB to life in a big way. I'm excited to reinterpret this iconic character in several different ways throughout the race and share my appreciation of SpongeBob with NASCAR fans."

On May 9, the world's most famous sponge and his friends will take over the Kansas Speedway and will appear on paint schemes for five NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers: David Ragan in the No. 55 Aarons/SpongeBob SquarePants Toyota Camry; Greg Biffle, cruising down the track in the No. 16 Cheez-It/ Patrick Star Ford Fusion; Casey Mears helming the No. 13 Squidward Tentacles Chevrolet SS; Ty Dillon in the No. 33 Circle Sport Racing/Plankton Chevrolet SS and Michael McDowell, driving the No. 95 WRL/Larry the Lobster Ford Fusion. Additionally, Ben Kennedy will also join in on the fun when he takes out his No. 11 Local Motors/SpongeBob SquarePants Toyota Tundra for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Kansas Speedway on Friday, May 8.

The Nickelodeon Kids Zone will also be set up for kids and families in the Kansas Speedway Fan Zone and will feature appearances from the SpongeBob SquarePants costume characters, a SpongeBob SquarePants photo station and more.

Brooklyn-based, KAWS is a renowned artist who exhibits in museums and galleries internationally. KAWS's art stands within the historical continuum that began with Pop Art, straddling the line between fine art and global commerce. His artworks are immediately recognizable as he transforms iconic pop culture characters into thought-provoking works of art. His work possesses a sophisticated humor while utilizing a refined graphic language that revitalizes figuration with big, bold gestures and keen, playful intricacy. KAWS will participate in an outdoor group sculptural exhibition, ARTZUID, Amsterdam opening on May 22nd, while a mid-career survey of his work is scheduled to open at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth in the fall of 2016.
