Copart to Sponsor Germain Racing’s No. 30 Tundra in Three Additional NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Races This Season
FAIRFIELD, Calif.--Copart, Inc. , a leading online vehicle auction company, is proud to announce the extension of its relationship with Germain Racing to include primary sponsorship of the No. 30 Copart Tundra and driver Todd Bodine in the final three races of the 2009 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
“Copart got its first NASCAR win with Todd behind the wheel of the No. 30 Copart Tundra in June, and we anticipate an exciting final three races of the season in which we hope to be in Victory Lane again,” said Copart President Jay Adair. “We hope these three final races will continue the momentum we have built this season through our NASCAR sponsorships which have shown fans that Copart is a great place to find a great deal on a car!”
Copart recently enhanced its website to make it easier for new buyers to search for and view vehicles offered at www.copart.com.
“Copart is dedicated to continued buyer awareness so that our sellers can continue to enjoy the most efficient bidding environment possible,” said Adair.
The final three races of the truck series in which Copart will sponsor Bodine and the No. 30 Copart Tundra include Texas Motor Speedway on Friday, Nov. 6; Phoenix International Raceway on Friday, Nov. 13 and the conclusion of the season at Homestead-Miami Speedway Friday, Nov. 20. Bodine has been to victory lane at each of these race tracks – Texas (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009), Homestead (2005, 2008) and Phoenix (2005). Germain Racing is looking forward to putting the Copart Tundra up front as the NASCAR racing season draws to a close.
“Copart has been a great part of our No. 30 Tundra team this season,” said Bodine, who drove for Copart in eight races in 2009. “These tracks (Texas, Phoenix and Homestead-Miami) are strong for us and we look forward to getting the word out again to race fans about Copart’s large inventory of vehicles and the great deals they can get at Copart.com.”
