Her primary sponsor is Women's ExtenZe, an all natural herbal dietary supplement for women.
"I have dedicated the last two years of my life to spreading environmental awareness and unfortunately during that time, I haven't had sponsorship to continue with my racing career," said Münter, "I can't thank Women's ExtenZe enough for getting me back out on the racetrack where I belong."
Münter will continue her partnership with LED lighting manufacturer Novicomm and is also announcing a second new partner in Ecobabble, an eco friendly t-shirt manaufacturer who will be making Leilani's racing merchandise from 50% recycled cotton and 50% recycled polyester created by breaking down recyclable soda and water bottles. Each size large t-shirt contains 5 plastic bottles. Münter will have a recycle bin in her pit collecting plastic soda and water bottles for Ecobabble which will later be made into t-shirts for Leilani.
"I am excited to be working with Ecobabble to offer eco friendly merchandise," said Leilani, "Together we are teaming up to help make a greener world and I am just proud to be a part of it."

About Women ExtenZe
Women ExtenZe is the all-natural supplement designed specifically to help women safely and effectively enhance pleasure and reignite youthful sexual desire. Developed by the same medical doctor who created the popular ExtenZe male enhancement formula, Women ExtenZe contains natural libido enhancing nutrients like Pregnenolone and DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) which are both proven to stimulate sexual desire with repeated use. The problem used to be that most resources were spent developing products to enhance sexual pleasure for men. Even before the ultra-successful ExtenZe formula was developed, men were able to get prescriptions for enhancement products like Viagra and others. No one seemed to notice that women around the world were practically begging for products to boost their own sexual pleasure. With the creation of Women ExtenZe, BioTab has leveled the playing field.
