RFK, Esperion Therapeutics Announce 2024 Promotional Schedule

CONCORD, N.C., Feb. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RFK Racing and Esperion Therapeutics have announced the promotional schedule for the 2024 season, highlighted by a four-race slate, and numerous accompanying campaigns and initiatives, all driving awareness of its two brands – NEXLIZET (bempedoic acid and ezetimibe) and NEXLETOL (bempedoic acid) used for adults on a statin to reduce LDL-cholesterol.

Esperion’s season debut comes in the first race at Richmond this spring (March 31) on the No. 17 of Chris Buescher. Brad Keselowski’s debut with the brand comes at the All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro (May 19). Remaining races include Pocono on the No. 6 (July 14), and the fall Talladega event on the No. 17 (Oct. 6).

RFK and Esperion will collaborate to wave the red flag for uncontrolled cholesterol by promoting a myriad of campaigns, including National Wear Red Day, American Heart Month, Stress Awareness Month, Women’s Health Awareness Month, Men’s Health Awareness Month, a Wellness Walk, Cholesterol Education Month, World Heart Day, National Health Education Week, and Family Health History Day.

In addition, Buescher will attend the annual American College of Cardiology (ACC) session on behalf of Esperion, in April in Atlanta. RFK will also promote the brand’s NASCAR Digital Media buy, which will include various graphics packages on NASCAR.com, as well as an in-car camera on the No. 6 for the second Talladega race.

Esperion is also partnering with Pocono Raceway to host a Wellness Walk the Saturday morning of its race weekend, which will invite fans in attendance to walk a secured route inside the infield alongside Keselowski, all promoting wellness and general awareness for staying in-tune to their cholesterol levels. NEXLIZET should not be used in patients who have had a previous allergic reaction to ezetimibe. NEXLIZET and NEXLETOL can increase levels of uric acid in the blood which can lead to gout.

“Our partnership thus far with RFK has proven to be very successful in many facets, and we’re excited to again embark on a new journey with the team in 2024,” said Sheldon Koenig, CEO, Esperion. “As you can see, we have a robust marketing campaign lined up that highlights our various combined efforts on promoting everything from cholesterol awareness to various additional health awareness months. Our race schedule is exciting with tracks where RFK, Brad and Chris have excelled in the past, and we look forward to seeing the NEXLIZET and NEXLETOL Fords in victory lane very soon.”
