Hindman Claims Pole for Acura at Lime Rock Park

July 21, 2019

Trent Hindman and the Meyer Shank Racing team captured their third pole of the season this morning in qualifying at Lime Rock Park for this afternoon’s Northeast Grand Prix IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship race. Hindman and co-driver Mario Farnbacher lead the IMSA GTD championship in their Acura NSX GT3 Evo.

LAKEVILLE, Connecticut, July 20, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Trent Hindman took his Meyer Shank Racing Acura NSX GT3 Evo to his third IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship pole of the season this morning, and will lead the GTD field to the green flag in today’s Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park.

HIndman’s lap record time of 51.456 seconds around the fast, but short, Lime Rock Park road course bested an extremely tight qualifying session, with just over seven-tenths of a second covering the full GTD field.

Meyer Shank Racing Acura NSX GT3 Evo
No less than five different drivers topped the GTD time sheets in this morning’s 15-minute qualifying session, with Hindman finally claiming the pole on his eighth lap. It is the third pole of the season for the New Jersey native, who claims Lime Rock as his “home” track, following GTD pole runs at Sebring and Watkins Glen. Hindman and co-driver Mario Farnbacher currently hole a 19-point lead in the GTD championship ahead of today’s sixth race of the season.

In the second MSR Acura, Christina Nielsen qualified 11^thin the Acura NSX GT3 Evo she will share with co-driver Katherine Legge in today’s race, with her qualifying time of 52.059 seconds just six-tenths of a second slower than Hindman.

Acura Team Penske
As one of two races on the 2019 schedule to feature IMSA’s GT classes (GTD and GTLM), the Prototype category was not a part of the IMSA weekend at Lime Rock Park. The Acura Team Penske ARX-05s will return to the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship for the next race on the schedule, August 2-3 at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.

Where to Watch
Same-day US Network television coverage from Lime Rock Park begins at 9:30 p.m. EDT on the NBC Sports Network. Complete, flag-to-flag race coverage also will be available on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports App with NBCSN authentication, starting at 3 p.m. EDT.

Quote
Trent Hindman (#86 Meyer Shank Racing Acura NSX GT3) GTD class pole qualifier, his third IMSA GTD pole of 2019: “Big thanks to the Meyer Shank Racing guys. I kind of put them through the wringer in the warmup [practice session prior to qualifying], just trying to get every last ounce of performance out of the car before qualifying. We got out of the warmup and everything felt really good so it was like ‘the pressure is on, I’ve got to get it done, there’s no excuse if we don’t’, so I’m glad we pulled through! Again, this is all down to the work of the Meyer Shank Racing crew, HPD and Acura. Everyone helped me get this one done today, and I’m really appreciative of want they did for me. I’m just grateful to be part of a great team.”

Mary Kay unveiled the newest addition to its coveted career car fleet at the company’s annual U.S. Seminar--the pink Cadillac XT6.

DALLAS, July 19, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — To celebrate 50 years of an American icon – the Mary Kay® pink Cadillac – global cosmetics company Mary Kay unveiled the newest addition to its coveted career car fleet at the company’s annual U.S. Seminar. In a surprise announcement in front of thousands of attendees, the all-new Mary Kay® pink Cadillac XT6 was unveiled on stage at the top beauty brand’s convention in Dallas.

The new XT6 model offers top-performing, qualifying Mary Kay Independent Sales Directors a Cadillac with a third row seat. The Mary Kay® pink Cadillac XT6 joins a fleet of Mary Kay career car options including the Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet Equinox, Chevrolet Traverse, MINI Hardtop 4 Door and Mary Kay® pink Cadillac XT5.

“Mary Kay is home to one of the largest and most successful car incentive programs in the world, and our U.S. Seminar is the perfect platform to celebrate the program’s 50^th anniversary with the unveiling of the all-new Mary Kay® pink Cadillac XT6,” said Laura Beitler, Vice President of Sales for Mary Kay Inc. “Production of the Cadillac XT6 just began in May 2019, so we are excited for our independent sales force to have the opportunity to earn this brand-new Cadillac model as we celebrate a milestone anniversary of the iconic Mary Kay® pink Cadillac.”

In 1967, Mary Kay Ash ordered her first pink Cadillac from a Dallas dealership and asked to have it painted to match the pale pink Mary Kay® lip and eye palette she carried in her purse. The pink-mobile was such a hit that in 1969, she rewarded the top five independent sales force members with the use of their own pink 1970 Cadillac Coupe DeVille and in turn, launched the Mary Kay Career Car Program.

Since the inception of the Mary Kay Career Car Program in the United States, more than 165,000 top-performing independent sales force members have qualified or re-qualified for the use of a Mary Kay career car with nearly 24,000 earning the use of a coveted Mary Kay® pink Cadillac. Today, there are more than 4,000 Mary Kay career cars on the road nationwide.

“The Mary Kay Career Car Program is an integral part of our company’s history and recognizes independent sales force members for their hard work and success,” said Nathan Moore, President of Mary Kay Inc.’s North America Region. “As we welcome thousands of Mary Kay independent sales force members from every corner of the country to North Texas, we’re excited to celebrate the success of all Mary Kay entrepreneurs through recognition, education and motivation at our annual U.S. Seminar, the longest running event at the Dallas convention center.”

The new Mary Kay® pink Cadillac XT6 will be on display at the company’s Seminar held July 18 – Aug. 2 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas. The Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau estimates Seminar 2019 will pump $37 million into the North Texas economy and support 3,464 jobs over the duration of the two-week event. The convention is comprised of four back-to-back conferences and is one of the top five largest events in Dallas based on attendance, economic impact and hotel room nights. During this year’s event, Mary Kay will award approximately $8 million in recognition prizes.

About Mary Kay
One of the original glass ceiling breakers, Mary Kay Ash founded her beauty company more than 55 years ago with three goals: offer rewarding opportunities for women, manufacture irresistible products and make the world a better place. That dream has blossomed into a multibillion-dollar company with millions of independent sales force members in nearly 40 countries. Mary Kay is dedicated to researching the science behind beauty and to manufacturing cutting-edge skin care, color cosmetics and fragrances. Through the Mary Kay Foundation ^SM, the company has awarded more than $78 million to cancer research and domestic violence shelters. Mary Kay Ash’s original vision continues to shine—one lipstick at a time.

America's Anglers Reach Record-Breaking Diversity

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia, July 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — America’s anglers are more diverse than ever, a key finding of the 2019 Special Report on Fishing, released today by the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation (RBFF). Both women and Hispanics are casting their lines in record-breaking numbers, with 17.7 million and 4.4 million participants, respectively.

“It’s often assumed that all anglers look alike,” says Stephanie Vatalaro, RBFF’s Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications. “Our mission is to welcome everyone to the water — because if you want to learn to fish, you should have that opportunity no matter who you are. And while our work isn’t over, it’s clear from these results that the tides are changing.”

In addition to record-breaking diversity, other highlights from the Special Report on Fishing include:

49.4 million Americans participate in fishing annually.
Americans go fishing a cumulative 883 million days annually, or 17.9 days each year per person.
More non-anglers than ever, 33.9 million people, are interested in trying fishing.
Parents are 45 percent more likely to go fishing than adults without children.
More than 3 in 4 anglers view fishing’s environmental benefits as one reason they participate in the activity.

RBFF’s diversity initiatives include its #WomenMakingWaves social media movement and its George H.W. Bush Vamos A Pescar Education Fund.

Created in partnership with The Outdoor Foundation, the Special Report on Fishing provides one of the most comprehensive looks at the state of U.S. fishing and boating participation. The full report, along with an accompanying infographic, is available at the RBFF Resource Center.

LOS ANGELES, July 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Omni Cultural TV Fest (OCTVF) in partnership with NATPE (National Association of Television Program Executives) announced today that submissions for 2020 are now open.

Filmmakers who submit early will have a head start in getting their projects seen by industry executives. The festival acts as a bridge to merge content creators with industry professionals.

Produced by Kiki Melendez of Latin Hollywood Films and Cindy Cowan Entertainment, this unique multicultural platform for independent content producers provides an avenue for promoting new ideas in all genres for television and OTT platforms.

Thus far, the festival has been instrumental in getting five projects distributed through ShortsTV, distribution deals through Maverick Entertainment, meetings with Abrams Artists Agency, pitch meetings with Cindy Cowan and All 3 Media, and requests for content from prominent networks and studios. OCTVF received support from Disney, Nickelodeon, Viacom, A&E, Lifetime, The History Channel, The Nacelle Company, CBS Diversity, NBC/Telemundo, Spectrum TV1, WIF, NYWIFT, HRTS and Vimeo. NATPE has also designated an OCTVF tab on their website so that buyers will have easy access to view the 2019 selections and winners in all the categories.

In its inaugural event at the landmark Egyptian Theater in May 2019, OCTVF made an indelible impact on the industry, receiving 5-star ratings and garnering critical acclaim from filmmakers, sponsors, partners, executives and attendees.

This year, OCTVF will be going on tour through Miami, NYC, San Francisco, San Diego, and LA to generate buzz prior to the grand event which is set for the first week of June 2020.

Submissions in all genres of television will be accepted: TV Pilots, TV sizzle reels (scripted and non-scripted), short form web series, TV movie trailers, foreign language TV sizzle reels, student submissions, animation and talk shows.

For more information on submissions please visit www.omniculturaltvfest.com or www.filmfreeway.com/omniculturaltvfestival.

June 30, 2019 – Submissions Open

January 15, 2020 – Official Deadline
February 16, 2020 – Final Deadline

OCTVF is a subsidiary of Latin Hollywood Films Inc. and the festival has designated Kids in the Spotlight as its official charity.
