Virtumundo, a Leading Internet Company, Sponsors Indy Cars At Kansas Speedyway in an Attempt to Increase Exposure
KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 5 Virtumundo announced today that it will be sponsoring two cars for this weekend's sold-out event at the Kansas Speedway. Sam Schmidt Motorsports and TeamXtreme have partnered together so Virtumundo will enjoy a sponsorship affiliation with Jaques Lazier and Airton Dare. Virtumundo, a leading online advertising company, will grace the side pods as the premier sponsor of Lazier's car at this weekend's race at the Kansas Speedway. Lazier formerly piloted TeamXtreme's #77 entry but now drives for Sam Schmidt Motorsports. Additionally, Virtumundo will appear on the engine cover of Airton Dare's TeamXtreme Racing car as an associate sponsor. "We are proud to affiliate with Virtumundo for the inaugural Kansas City race," says TeamXtreme General Manager John Lopes. "We look forward to a long-lasting relationship between the team and such an innovative company." Starke Taylor, TeamXtreme's Director of Sponsorship, added, "Our relationship with Virtumundo offered us a neat twist in that we have developed a fabulous new sponsor and we have the opportunity to help out Jaques and Sam along the way." This weekend's race will be the first time the Indy Racing League has visited the new Kansas Speedway. The race is sold out with over 65,000 fans attending the event. The race is expected to largely benefit the Kansas City area. Virtumundo intends to use the sponsorship to further brand its name in Kansas City. As of last month, Virtumundo successfully relocated many of its development staff to the Kansas City area and is in the process of constructing a new sales team to work alongside its current sales team in New York. Scott Lynn, President and CEO of Virtumundo, states, "We're beginning to put forth considerable effort in branding our name to expanding awareness of who we are and what we do in the Kansas City area. We hope to make considerable contributions in the near future by sponsoring many local activities." About Virtumundo, Inc.
