Jason Oldfield, Co-Founder of the Tread City Tire / Western New York Super Rod Association, stated, “We are thrilled to have Uncle Bob’s Self Storage on board as a major sponsor for the 2014 racing season. When people think of storage in Western New York, they think of Uncle Bob’s Self Storage due to their enormous presence in the area. So, we strongly believe that this partnership will help us reach new potential fans for our series, but in addition we also feel that our existing fans and competitors will be very interested in learning more about the moving and storage products and services that Uncle Bob’s provides to their customers.”
Founded in 1982, Sovran Self Storage, Inc., the real estate investment trust (REIT) that operates under the trade name of Uncle Bob’s Self Storage, is headquartered in Buffalo, New York, and currently employs over 1,200 people.

With 20 locations from Buffalo to Syracuse, we feel that this partnership will provide us an excellent opportunity to connect with our customers in the area, particularly those with an interest in motorsports. Many people are not aware that in addition to our standard indoor storage facilities, Uncle Bob’s Self Storage provides car, motorcycle, and RV storage, as well.
