By Home Furnishings Business in on March 2006 The largest bedding manufacturer in the world announced this week its plans to turn over the keys of their racing car to a 17-year old open-wheel star.

Sealy Inc. said Thursday it will sponsor Alan Sciuto, an up-and-coming teenage racing phenom, in the Champ Car Atlantic Championship Series for seven upcoming races this year.

The auto racing series is often considered the top developmental open-wheel racing series in North America. Successful drivers often move onto the Champ Car or Indy Racing League.

The Sealy Posturepedic Atlantic car will be raced in the U.S., Canada and Mexico by Sciuto, a California-native who has already had success on the kart racing scene.

"I'm very proud of the sponsorship from Sealy and excited about the opportunity this year to compete and do my best," Sciuto said.
