Pentastar Aviation Congratulates Winners of the Bell’s® Beer Bayview Mackinac Race

Waterford, Mich. – Pentastar Aviation, a proud sponsor of the Bell’s Beer Bayview Mackinac Race since 2015, congratulates the 17 winners of the 94^th running that ended on Tuesday, July 17. The world’s longest consecutively run freshwater race is organized by the Bayview Yacht Club.

“Congratulations are certainly in order for all the winners and those that crossed the finish line this year,” said Greg Schmidt, Pentastar Aviation’s President & CEO. “It was one of the longest races in decades and, due to low winds, many participants had to drop out.  I am sure it will provide many interesting stories that will be talked about for years to come, and Pentastar Aviation was proud to be a sponsor.”
