CORONA, Calif. (Feb. 20, 2014) - Gazillion Bubbles will create fun-filled displays with bubble machines blowing bubbles and bubble products for children to play with at five Team Lucas events this year, three in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series and two in the Lucas Oil Drag Boat Racing Series.

Gazillion Bubbles, a premium brand of bubble solution and bubble products created and manufactured by Funrise Toy Corp., has also built a Gazillion Bubble Car modified to blow bubbles that will lead the pace truck and top three vehicles to the podiums at all five events. The Team Lucas program will also include handing out Gazillion Bubbles-branded clear beach balls and stickers and a 20-foot tall inflatable Gazillion Bubbles bottle will be displayed in the center of the track at all five events.

"We're excited to bring Gazillion Bubbles to the Team Lucas program for the first time," Funrise Toys Vice President of Marketing Kathy Hawk said. "We're celebrating our 10-year anniversary with Gazillion Bubbles and we want the kids to enjoy them at the Team Lucas races."

For Gazillion Bubbles, the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing events are March 22-23 at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in Chandler, Ariz., April 25-26 at Lake Elsinore (Calif.) Motorsports Park and May 30-31 at Wild West Motorsports Park in Sparks, Nev.; the Lucas Oil Drag Boat Racing events are April 11-13 at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in Chandler, Ariz., and May 2-4 at Lake Havasu, Ariz.
