Going Places

Yes, the University of Illinois does get you places—sometimes at speeds exceeding 160 mph. Thanks to a sponsorship by Beverage Plus Inc., the University saw its name prominently displayed on a Dodge driven by D.J. Kennington during the recent Diamond Hill Plywood 200 NASCAR race in South Carolina. Beverage Plus Inc. is headed by Ron Serota, an LAS alumnus who received his bachelor's degree in economics at the U of I in 1985. He considered the sponsorship a tribute to an "outstanding" educational institution.
