August 5, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Domain registrar and web hosting provider Go Daddy (godaddy.com) announced on Tuesday that Go Daddy racer Ron Fellows won the NASCAR Nationwide Series race this past weekend at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Canada.
The win follows "Go Daddy Girl" Danica Patrick's landmark Japan 300 victory in April, which made her the first woman in history to win an IndyCar Series race.
Fellows drove the No. 5 Go Daddy Chevrolet, marking his first time behind the wheel of the Go Daddy sponsored race car and the first NASCAR win for Go Daddy.
"It's exhilarating Ron Fellows brought the No. 5 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet to Victory Lane," says Bob Parsons, CEO and founder at Go Daddy. "All the pieces just came together...the race was in Canada, Ron is a Canadian fan favorite and he's a road course expert."
Go Daddy is the sponsor of the No. 5 Go Daddy Chevrolets in six of this season's Nationwide Series races. Nascar driver Dale Earnhardt, another Go Daddy spokesman, designed the No. 5 Go Daddy Chevrolets along with racing the car April 5 in Texas.
Earnhardt will race the car again at the Watkins Glen next August 9, with Mark Martin to follow in Michigan on August 16 and in Kansas September 27.
Last month, Go Daddy signed a broadcast sponsorship of NASCAR Napa Auto Parts 200 on Canadian sports network TSN.
Go Daddy also announced it donated $50,000 to help Arizona pets during Saturday's Arizona Humane Society's annual telethon. The company also used its expertise to organize online donations, helped answer phones and kept the live event's website running seamlessly, the company says.
The sponsorship marks the third consecutive year Go Daddy co-sponsored the telethon to help animals.
The company recently entered into the Canadian market with its new subsidiary, Go Daddy Domains Canada. The Canadian subsidiary is offering .ca domain names at competitive prices, around the clock customer support and the opportunity to receive additional products and services for free.
