Words: Steven PomerantzHanley Wood Exhibitions reports that Rig Racin’, the official mobile game app from World of Concrete, hit a whopping 100,000 downloads within a month of its release.

Rig Racin’ has increased awareness of the World of Concrete brand and has driven engagement with concrete industry professionals across the globe. The game is available in the Apple App Store for iOS devices and Google Play for Android devices.
