RingSquared Signs a Groundbreaking 7-year Sponsorship Agreement with IMSA
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Oct. 18, 2022) – Reuniting with a valued partner, IMSA announced today that business telecommunications provider RingSquared has become a Proud Partner of the sanctioning organization, the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, and IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge.
A nationwide source of managed voice, analytics, and data connectivity products, RingSquared delivers end-to-end communications solutions by bringing together enterprise-class platforms from leading vendors and a 24/7/365 operations center. With more than three decades’ experience in managed telecommunications services, RingSquared makes a difference for clients by delivering targeted, strategic solutions.
RingSquared’s motorsports history dates to 1994, when TotalTel – where RingSquared CEO and founder, Kevin Alward, served as president from 1988-1997 – was the official long-distance carrier for IMSA and other racing series. TotalTel was also a sponsor of IMSA teams through the end of the 1990s. Kevin and colleague George Giles, veteran consultant in the Motorsport industry, took the TotalTel partnership programs to approximately 1,000 clients, funding many series, teams, and drivers.
“We are pleased to be partnering once again with the IMSA organization,” Alward said. “Our team, including George Giles and myself from the original TotalTel business, look forward to connecting with the closeknit group of IMSA, their racing teams, and the IMSA sponsors. We have continued to support the racing community and this partnership brings us full circle. We couldn’t be more excited about it.”
