Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 13, 2025) - American Aires Inc. (CSE: WIFI) (OTCQB: AAIRF) ("Aires" or the "Company"), a pioneer in advanced technology designed to optimize electromagnetic field (EMF) environments to support health and well-being, has activated its second Chad Finchum sponsorship integration in a multi-race partnership, which will run throughout the remainder of May and include the NASCAR Cup Series All-Star Open at North Wilkesboro Speedway, North Carolina, on Sunday, May 18, and the NASCAR Cup Series Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway on Sunday, June 1. Building on knowledge gained from the Company's initial sponsorship success in October 2024, Aires will strategically install its products to optimize the electromagnetic field environment surrounding Finchum and the Garage 66 team to support their health while they use advanced in-race communication systems before and during the multiple race weekends. The widespread popularity and global reach of NASCAR includes Cup Series broadcasts being available in 195 countries and 29 languages,¹ and TV viewership in 2025 to date totaling 42.3 million for an average of 3.3 million per race.²

Finchum, crew and the Garage 66 Ford Mustang car will also prominently showcase the Aires brand and its products throughout multiple race weekends, including Aires brand marks being featured in the car's paint scheme, specifically on the highly visible hood, in addition to branding on the door, roof and bumper. Interactions with Finchum and crew will provide Aires with co-branded photo and video assets that the Company will leverage before and after the races across various Aires marketing campaigns and channels to enhance marketing efficiency and raise household awareness of the Aires brand, which will help reinforce consumer purchase patterns.

"It's great to be partnering again with Chad Finchum and the Garage 66 team," said Josh Bruni, CEO of Aires. "Chad isn't just a competitor - he's a new father, an elite performer, and someone who understands the connection between environment and performance. That makes this partnership deeply aligned. He discovered Aires through his personal pursuit of a cleaner, healthier life - at home and on the track. And like many athletes we work with, he knows that high performance starts with low interference."

"As the lead sponsor in Nashville, we're not just showing up with an Aires paint job - we're making a point. Vehicles are one of the most EMF-saturated spaces in daily life, yet often overlooked. Whether it's a racecar or a family SUV, Aires helps reformat that invisible layer between technology and biology. This moment is a symbol of something bigger: from arenas to cars to homes, people are rethinking their environments. And we're proud to help drive that shift forward."

For Finchum, the 30-year-old will get to drive in NASCAR's All-Star weekend for the first time. The Knoxville, Tennessee native follows that up with his fourth premier series start in his home state and third at Nashville Superspeedway, most of any circuit on the NASCAR Cup Series calendar. He made his Next Gen debut at the 1.33-mile speedway last year.

"I love short track racing, and I love racing in front of my home crowd. Along with the rest of our Garage 66 partners, Aires has given me the opportunity to do both over the next couple events," said Finchum. "It feels great to be getting behind the wheel of the Garage 66 entry three times in a five-week span. We can really get into a rhythm and build some momentum heading into these race weekends. With Aires EMF optimization, I will be able to deliver my maximum performance on raceday at both North Wilkesboro and Nashville."

The Garage 66 team is making its eighth start in the All-Star Open and second at North Wilkesboro. Both there and Nashville, Garage 66 co-owner Carl Long is ready to apply his notes from one year ago to continue the progression and development of his team.

"It is a big deal for our growing program to return to a track with the same driver, same manufacturer, and returning team sponsors. It shows we are providing value to our partners, and it gives us the best chance to keep picking up speed on the racetrack. I know Chad will be laser-focused on doing a great job behind the wheel for all the folks at Aires and driving increased awareness about the benefits of creating EMF-friendly spaces," said Long.
