The No. 34 Carfax Chevrolet will make its debut at MIS during the first-ever 'Show Me the CARFAX Race Weekend'.
Andretti said, "I'm excited to have the Carfax brand on board for the CARFAX 400 Sprint Cup race and feel the team is primed for some real up-front excitement. Carfax offers a great service to its customers and we want that same service represented on the track as well."
Andretti enters the CARFAX 400 race with a guaranteed starting position. Besides having wins in NASCAR's top series, John has won in the now defunct CART series and competed in the IRL and NHRA showing his talent to be a "pure racer". John most recently competed in the 2009 Indy 500 race with Richard Petty as team owner, finishing 19th.
"We're proud to support John Andretti and the No. 34 Carfax Chevrolet," said Larry Gamache, communications director at Carfax. "If you're looking for a used car, a GM Certified Pre Owned vehicle is a great choice. Free Carfax Vehicle History Reports are available from every GM dealer. The Carfax Chevrolet represents a great partnership between GM and Carfax."
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series CARFAX 400 will be broadcast on ESPN with television coverage beginning at 1:30 pm EST and radio coverage provided by the Motor Racing Network.
