The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) was founded in 1972 to improve the quality of automotive service and repair through the voluntary testing and certification of automobile, truck and collision technicians, as well as certain specialty areas such as machinists and parts specialists. When looking for the best in automotive service, look for the ASE logo. Although the certification of professional automotive technicians and parts specialists remains ASE's primary mission, its role has grown over the years to encompass much more.
Today, ASE is an independent, nonprofit organization that works in many ways to help educate consumers, the media and others to promote informed decision making when seeking automotive repairs. ASE is also an information resource for professionals and consumers about many automotive topics. Team ASE provides a banner under which everyone can participate and support the ASE family. The Team ASE website provides links to associate sponsors and both professional and amateur race teams, along with links to the various venues in which Team ASE participates. Originally created as a racing program to salute technicians who demonstrate high performance every day, Team ASE has grown into a multi-faceted outreach effort that includes the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, several satellite racing teams, a grassroots racing program, a Professional Bull Riding program, the Shell Aerobatic Team and, of course, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. The ASE corporate hospitality village at Sturgis is sponsored by ASE and Ultra Wheel Company.

 Jack Daniel's will once again bring a “Taste of Tennessee” to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally this year as official sponsor of the 2008 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and presenting sponsor of the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally Mayor’s Ride. We invite motorcycle enthusiasts and visitors to come out and tour the nation’s oldest registered distillery from outside the Jack Daniel’s Hollow.
The Jack Daniel’s Experience, a mobile museum, is bringing a little of the much-loved distillery from Lynchburg to Sturgis. You’ll learn who Mr. Jack Daniel was and how he ended up with the best selling whiskey in the world. You’ll see (and smell) whiskey dripping slowly through charcoal and the new oak barrels used in maturing Tennessee’s finest whiskey.
“This year at the Jack Daniel’s Experience, we’ll have a few of our good friends from Lynchburg, Tennessee, here to share some of Jack’s best stories,” said Dave Stang, Jack Daniel’s sponsorship director. “Once you tour the Experience and spend some time with the folks from Jack, it’ll make you want to plan a ride through the hills of Tennessee to see how and where we’ve made Jack Daniel’s since 1866.”
The Experience is open to all folks, 21 years old and up, for tours free of charge throughout the rally. There will be a licensed Jack Daniel's merchandise vendor on-site with Jack apparel, bike items, and other unique pieces. Games and giveaways will also be part of the entertainment at various times throughout the Rally. Stop by to get your boots shined and see the Jack Daniel’s 100th anniversary heritage soft tail Harley-Davidson. As always, those over the age of 21 years old will be able to purchase a refreshing Jack Daniel's Country Cocktail from the bar, run by our friends at the local grocery mart.
“Ever since Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey was founded, it has stood for authenticity, Americana and freedom. And that's exactly why Jack Daniel's is proud to be part of the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally,” said Stang.
Officially registered by the U.S. Government in 1866, the Jack Daniel Distillery, Lem Motlow proprietor, is the oldest registered distillery in the United States and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Located in Lynchburg, Tenn. (pop. 361), the Jack Daniel Distillery is the maker of the world-famous Jack Daniel Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey, Gentleman Jack Rare Tennessee Whiskey, and Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Tennessee Whiskey.
Bottles and Throttles Don't Mix. Your friends at Jack Daniel's remind you to drink responsibly.

Pork. The Other White Meat®
is proud to be the official meat of the 2008 Sturgis
Motorcycle Rally. We hope that you enjoy the pork
products featured throughout the Rally and that you
take home some great recipe ideas. Be sure to visit Theotherwhitemeat.com for more lip-smacking recipe ideas.
The South Dakota Pork Producers
Council was established in 1954, when pork producers
realized the value in promoting their product. In
1985, the Federal Pork Act authorized producer checkoff
for use in promotion, education and research. The
famous tagline, Pork. The Other White Meat, came
from these checkoff funds and has grown to become
the fifth most recognizable tagline in American
advertising.
Our mission is to responsibly serve,
support and enhance the success of the South Dakota
pork production industry by managing industry issues
to successful conclusions, improving the image of
the industry and insuring a safe, wholesome and
quality product through a unified & engaged
membership.
Our purpose is to support the pork
industry in South Dakota by showing you how modern
technology has improved the agriculture and livestock
industries. South Dakota pork producers will bring
over 2.4 million hogs to market this year. The pork
industry has an economic impact in South Dakota
of over $500 million and accounts for over 8,000
jobs for farm families, processors and supporting
services in the state. South Dakota pork producers
make a difference.
We want you to know also, how good
pork is for you; how easy it can be to cook and
serve at every meal, and help you understand the
good-quality meats that come from your own backyard.
Pork's nutritional value has changed with the industry
in the past 50 years. Pork is now 46% leaner than
50 years ago. Six cuts of pork, including the pork
loin are considered as lean as the chicken breast.
Healthy, lean and packed full of nutrients, we want
you to make pork the meat of choice.
Please contact your state organization
or call us at: 800-830-PORK.

The Olympics have "it". Daytona and Laconia rallies have "it". The Boston Marathon has gone to court to protect "it". "It" is the "Official Logo" of an event - the registered mark that represents the official hosting agency. The logo is granted to products approved by the official licensing agent, and money received is used for purposes determined by the owner group.
The "Official Logo" for the Sturgis Rally was originally designed and developed by Tom Monahan as a vehicle to help fund the Black Hills Motorcycle Classic. Tom gave the logo to the Sturgis Chamber in 1986. As owner of Tom's T's, Tom volunteered in 1986 to give $2.00 to the Sturgis Chamber for each t-shirt sold that was imprinted with the licensed and registered Black Hills Motor Classic logo.
This led to the current licensing procedure in which
a portion of the money from a customer's purchase
of a licensed product is returned in royalties to
support the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and improve the
Sturgis community. This year, Tom's T's continues
as a member of the prestigious ranks of "Official
Sturgis Motorcycle Rally Sponsors" as the exclusive
t-shirt of the 2008 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Stop
by our store at 1117 Main Street when you're passing
through and let Tom personally welcome you to Sturgis
or order on-line at www.tomsts.com!

 One day back in the summer of 2000 an idea was born by a Sturgis gent named Steve Barry. The idea was to provide a shuttle service during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally so that people would not have to fight traffic, worry about finding a place to park and most importantly, stay off the road after they had a few drinks. It was then that "DA BUS" was born.
From its humble beginnings over half a dozen years
ago with just 2 buses, to almost a dozen buses last
year, "DA BUS" has become a very integral component
of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Campgrounds around
Sturgis find this shuttle service to be a great benefit
to their businesses with "DA BUS" transporting virtually
thousands of guests in ever growing numbers from their
campsite to a favorite concert venue, downtown bar,
racing event or just to and from famous Sturgis Main
Street! "DA BUS" delivers passengers - safely - to
their destination.
"DA BUS", an Official Sturgis Motorcycle Rally Sponsor, is pleased to continue its partnership with the City of Sturgis and local Law Enforcement to provide safe, efficient, accessible and economical transportation services to our Sturgis Motorcycle Rally guests. For more information on "DA BUS", or for advance single trip, daily or weekly wristband purchases on-line, go to www.sturgisbus.com. Have a safe Rally and remember - DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE! RIDE "DA BUS"!
