In 2002, Evo sponsored Adam Andretti, the younger brother of Winston Cup star John Andretti, and nephew of racing legend Mario Andretti. Adam Andretti's car #42 prominently featured the Evo logo and tagline "for the way you cook."
Beststuff.com, the proclaimed source for new product news, views, and reviews covered Evo in September 2002, calling it a "one-of-a-kind grill...combining the time-honored utility of a solid, flattop cooking surface with modern technology to offer a variety of cooking techniques not found with other outdoor grilling systems."
