We’ll continue to build our brand through our sponsorship with the strong relationships Z-Line has with its vendors.” “We’re thrilled to have Z-Lines Designs return as a sponsor of Joe Gibbs Racing,” added J.D. Gibbs, president of JGR. “They’re one of the premier furniture manufacturers in the world, and we feel JGR has provided them with three of the premier drivers in NASCAR to represent them in 2008. It should be a winning combination.” Established in 1995 and now widely recognized for its quality and innovation, Z-Line Designs provides fashionable furniture to support the exploding market for consumer’s home office and home entertainment technologies.
