hhgregg has also partnered with Maytag for a series of events surrounding The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.

“With May being Maytag Month, it is the perfect time to bring our brands together around the Indy 500,” said Chris Sutton, Vice President of Marketing for hhgregg. “To commemorate the 100th Running, we look forward to interacting with fans through experiences and giveaways on and off the track.”

Maytag and hhgregg invite race-goers to check out the Maytag Display at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway May 12-14, 20-22 and 27-29 to see the latest innovations from Maytag and participate in a variety of events including a racing simulator and a laundry toss competition.

In addition, Maytag and hhgregg are teaming up to honor 33 everyday heroes throughout the month via Maytag Salutes. From charity leaders and volunteers to firefighters and military personnel, anyone making a difference in their community is eligible. To say thanks, the selected nominees will receive a Maytag washer and dryer.
