LATICRETE, A GLOBAL MANUFACTURER AND LEADER OF PREMIUM INSTALLATION AND FINISHING SYSTEMS FOR THE BUILDING INDUSTRY, IS THE TOP SPONSOR OF CONNECTICUT JUNIOR DRIVER JOEY TERNULLO. HE IS THE SON OF JOE TERNULLO OF MIDDLETOWN CERAMIC TILE COMPANY, A FIRM THAT HAS BEEN USING LATICRETE MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR OVER 50 YEARS.

Just as family-owned Laticrete has been victorious within the worldwide tile & stone arenas, family-owned Middletown Ceramic Tile’s young race car driver has been victorious on the racetrack. Most recently, Joey took home the checkered flag when he came in first at Waterford Speed Bowl in Waterford, CT on September 10th.

Competing against 11 other racers, driving under the lights and in front of thousands of emphatic race car fans, this was his fifth win of the 2011 racing season. A registered driver in the “Bandolero Division,” Joey Ternullo is currently ranked via the approved national points system as #21 out of 138 drivers across the country in his category. His Laticrete #9 race car is a sleek, 750 pound vehicle which averages 70 miles per hour during races.

“We are very proud of Joey’s performances and delighted to be his top sponsor,” stated David A. Rothberg, Laticrete CEO/Chairman.

“Our families have known each other and worked together for so long, it just seems like the right thing to do.”
