Prilosec OTC Becomes the Official Sponsor of Zero* Burn Summer Barbeque Events

Larry the Cable Guy, Race Car Driver Graham Rahal, and Former Driver Bobby Rahal Kick Off a Tour of the Country’s Most Celebratory Events

CINCINNATI--()--Prilosec OTC is ready to fire up the grill and bring Zero* Burn Barbeque Events to some of the hottest celebrations this summer. Teaming up with long-term partner Larry the Cable Guy, as well as 1986 Indy 500 Winner Bobby Rahal of Rahal Letterman Lanigan (RLL) Racing and their featured driver, Graham Rahal, Prilosec OTC is on a mission to help Americans live life to the fullest this summer, with zero* burn.

“There is nothing better than summer, and my dad and I have teamed up with Prilosec OTC to make sure that Americans are enjoying every minute of it,” says Graham Rahal, driver of the National Guard-sponsored entry for RLL in the Verizon IndyCar Series.

Prilosec OTC will visit some of the country’s biggest summer events, beginning at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on May 23rd. All summer long, consumers will be given Zero* Burn Experiences like Zero Cost Barbeque, Zero* Burn Games, and chances to win prizes; and will be educated on the benefits of taking Prilosec OTC to treat frequent heartburn.

Fan favorite comedian Larry the Cable Guy asserts, “Getting heartburn and then treating it day after day is like checking on your BBQ after it’s already burnt! That’s why I take Prilosec OTC for my frequent heartburn - so I don’t get heartburn in the first place.*”

As part of the Zero* Burn Summer Barbeque Event Tour, Prilosec OTC will also be making stops in Fort Worth, Texas on June 7; Fayetteville, North Carolina on July 4; and Chicago, Illinois on August 17 – cities known for hosting the country’s biggest All-American summer events.

* It’s possible while taking Prilosec OTC®. Use as directed for 14 days to treat frequent heartburn. Do not take for more than 14 days or more often than every 4 months unless directed by a doctor. May take 1-4 days for full effect (although some people get complete relief of symptoms within 24 hours). Not for immediate relief.
