Caruso Lands Hotel ELEO For Gatornationals

MOORESVILLE, N.C. — With the season opening NHRA Amalie Motor Oil Gatornationals set for March 9-12, last season’s NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series Rookie of the Year Camrie Caruso will be teaming up with Hotel ELEO. 

Caruso, who qualified No. 7 and raced to the quarterfinals last year at her first Gatornationals, will be promoting Hotel ELEO through a variety of social media activations as well as a meet and greet event at Hotel ELEO’s Covey Kitchen + Cocktails. Hotel ELEO will also be branded on Caruso’s Chevrolet Camaro Pro Stock race car during the event.

“I am always looking for interesting places to stay and explore as we travel across the country and Hotel ELEO jumped out at me as an innovative, stylish and upscale hotel,” said Caruso, a third generation drag racer. “It is convenient to the track and local attractions, shops and restaurants. Hotel ELEO will be the perfect place to stay, rest up and then come back to hopefully celebrate my first win.”

“Gatornationals has been a thrilling event for Gainesville since it started in the 1970’s,” said Ray Logan, general manager of Hotel ELEO. “With 2023 being the 54th anniversary of this globally recognized drag racing event, it was the perfect time to partner with Caruso and collaborate with her sponsors.”
