Florida Couple Drives Away With NASCAR Driver Dale Jarrett Themed Pool Table!
Eustis, FL – Oct. 12, 2006 – eXtreme Custom Billiards is proud to announce the winner of their one-of-a-kind Dale Jarrett, NASCAR #88 pool table. The pool table was won in a charity auction held earlier this fall to benefit the Heart of Florida United Way. The winner of the auction is Fran and Rick Bays of Sarasota, Florida. This table was autographed by Dale Jarrett and features the design of his NASCAR, sale price of the table was $12,500. eXtreme Custom Billiards is the leading designer of personalized pool tables, with designs limited only by the purchasers imagination.
“Out went the dining room set and in went the pool table!” said Fran Bays, the winning bidder. “We are very excited to have the pool table signed by Dale with the UPS and NASCAR themed design and at the same time be able to help United Way. My husband, Rick and I currently do not have a game room, but we are building a new house next year and we wanted the pool table for our new game room in that house.”
Billiards tables are one of the fastest growing segments of the U.S. gaming market. According to the latest Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA) report, sales of billiards tables reached $240 million in 2005 and the industry enjoyed 6.8% growth—greater than the domestic growth rate of 4.3%.
“We see a niche in the home recreation market for people who want something more from their pool table than the classic billiards look,” said John Conod, President of eXtreme Custom Billiards. “Our billiards tables are more than just game tables; they are playable works of art that are as fun to look at as they are to play. Our custom pool tables are truly designed for the accomplished player with the most particular decorative preference.”
With double digit growth in 2005, eXtreme Custom Billiards is leading the market with its eXtreme custom designs and partnerships with organizations including UPS, NASCAR driver Dale Jarrett, United Way, Discovery Chanel, New Orleans Saints, the New Orleans Saints Katrina Relief Fund and a “Biker” themed table on display at Gator Harley Davidson in Leesburg FL.
