Copart, Inc. (NASDAQ:CPRT), a leading online vehicle remarketer, is
proud to announce that the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at
Gateway International Raceway on Sept. 12 has been re-branded as the
Copart 200. The race was previously the Camping World 200.
Not only is the race named after Copart, but all advertising and print
collateral will also include the Copart name and brand. Each ticket will
feature the “Copart 200” title, and signs advertising Copart will be
displayed throughout the event. Copart representatives will also be
interviewed on MRN radio - the voice of NASCAR, and will be given the
opportunity to wave the green flag to start the race.
“We are proud to sponsor this race at Gateway International Raceway near
St. Louis, MO., and look forward to the variety of opportunities it
provides us to get the message out that Copart is the best place to find
cars,” said Copart President Jay Adair. “This sponsorship is just one
more way Copart is showing its commitment to increasing buyer awareness
by reaching out to NASCAR fans and letting them know about the extensive
inventory of vehicles available on Copart.com. It also furthers our goal
of making Copart a household name among car fanatics everywhere.”
Copart recently enhanced its website to make it easier for new buyers to
search and view vehicles offered at Copart.com. Copart already has more
than 100,000 professional buyers in more than 100 countries that
purchase vehicles on Copart.com.
“Camping World is actively working to bring new and relevant companies
like Copart to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series,” said Marcus
Lemonis, chairman and CEO of Camping World. “Copart is a great company
and they have quickly become one of the leading supporters of the
Series, its member tracks, and the teams.”
Besides sponsoring the Sept. 12 race, Copart also periodically sponsors
two NCWTS drivers – Ron Hornaday and Todd Bodine. Those two drivers are
also competing in the Copart Challenge of Champions – a contest which
attracts race fans to the Copart website. Fans can vote for their
favorite truck driver and enter to win great racing prizes while also
browsing Copart’s large inventory of vehicles. To learn more about the
