March 13, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Domain registrar and Web Hosting provider Go Daddy (godaddy.com) announced on Thursday it will be the presenting sponsor for this weekend's telecast of the NASCAR Nationwide Series (nascar.com/series/bg/) race at the Bristol Motor Speedway taking place in Bristol, Tennessee.
Known as the "World's Fastest Half-Mile", Bristol track is one of the most popular on the NASCAR circuit. The Web host will be on site to deliver all of the excitement to fans, with the Go Daddy name and logo appearing everywhere, including in-car views.
In the past, the race has been overwhelming popular, with last year's event drawing in millions of viewers. For this reason alone, Go Daddy's decision to sponsor the event was an easy one, says Go Daddy CEO and founder Bob Parsons.
"There's no doubt about it, NASCAR racing is as grassroots American as it gets," says Parsons. "It's fast, fun and a natural fit for Go Daddy."
In December, Go Daddy teamed up with JR Motorsports and Hendrick Motorsports to become the primary sponsor for the No. 5 NASCAR Nationwide Series Chevrolets for six races in 2008. The team is led by two-time Nationwide Series driver, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., who is also an official Go Daddy spokesman. He will be unveiling No. 5 Go Daddy Race Car, which he also designed, at the Texas Motor Speedway next month.
Fans can watch the NASCAR Nationwide Race live, March 15, on ABC TV at 2 p.m. EST.
