READING, Pa. – EnerSys has announced that its ODYSSEY battery is an official sponsor of Tanner Foust, starting with the first RallyCross competition of the 2013 season. The ODYSSEY battery logo will appear on Tanner Foust’s Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Ford Racing Fiesta ST and driving suit. 
“The pure lead construction and power of the ODYSSEY battery can withstand extreme racing conditions,” said Dave McMullen, director of commercial marketing for specialty and UPS markets at EnerSys. “Tanner knows first-hand how these conditions challenge a battery’s performance and we are proud to have him endorsing our product.”
Foust is a two-time Global RallyCross champion, three-time X Games gold medalist and two-time Formula Drift champion. The Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Ford Racing Fiesta ST will participate in the 2013 FIA European RallyCross (ERC), Global RallyCross (GRC) and X Games.
“Dry cell batteries can withstand a beating like no other and the ODYSSEY battery offers an excellent package,” said Foust. “They’re a perfect combination of toughness and efficiency and regardless of what happens, you know you’re going to have a reliable battery. You know with an ODYSSEY battery, you don’t have to worry about that part of the car.”
