Following up with the news of a great regional NVP in Louisville — covered in the current issue: https://issuu.com/dealernews/docs/issue__3_mar_2020/44 —comes word that LeMans Corp. is cancelling the 2020 Madison NVP Product Expo that was scheduled for August 22-23, 2020 due to the global COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic.
“We are very hopeful that races, rallies and events of this type return much sooner than the scheduled dates of NVP,” says VP Jeff Derge. “The decision was made based on what we feel is in the best interest of the industry. The time required by all for an event like NVP is substantial, we feel that our Dealers, Vendors and Reps will benefit from having that time to focus on their business and in turn, this will benefit us all.”
Derge adds Parts Unlimited and Drag Specialties are looking forward and planning for the future with one goal; “continue to support our Dealers and Vendors as we work through these challenging times. This plan started March 16th when our Sales Team was pulled off the road for the health, safety, and well-being of the industry and our communities. At the same time, we took steps to ensure safe working environments at our Distribution Centers.
“April 4th we announced significant changes to our Dealer Medal Level and Cumulative Programs to assist our Dealers while their business changes. We encourage our Dealers to visit: www.dealer.parts-unlimited.com or www.dealer.dragspecialties.com for details on this and future announcements.
We will be there for you throughout and are looking forward to putting a plan together with you as business returns to normal. We wish everyone a safe and healthy spring.”
