SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - (Business Wire) Go Daddy is looking for another big auto racing win Friday when Mark Martin races the No. 5 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet on NASCAR
’s toughest track
– Darlington Raceway.
Martin is considered one of NASCAR’s 50 Greatest Drivers and is the all-time leader in Nationwide Series victories. He’s ready to drive the GoDaddy.com sponsored car for the first time this season at South Carolina’s fabled Darlington Raceway.
The No. 5 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet was designed by GoDaddy.com spokesman Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and is a sleek black, orange and green Monte Carlo SS. Earnhardt was the first to drive the car at the Texas Motor Speedway Nationwide Series event last month.
The month of April was a great one for Go Daddy and its auto racing sponsorships. Go Daddy Girl Danica Patrick made history as the first female ever to win in IndyCar with the Japan 300 victory.
“We are ecstatic to be a part of both NASCAR and IndyCar racing,” said Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons. “How lucky are we to have outstanding drivers like Danica, Dale, Jr., Mark Martin and Ron Fellows all representing Go Daddy?”
Martin will have his work cut out at Darlington’s legendary egg-shaped oval – the track is nicknamed “Too Tough to Tame.”
Go Daddy has a reputation for being “too tough to tame” when it comes to advertising. The company is known for its edgy advertisements and controversial Super Bowl commercials that push the limit. In fact, the term GoDaddy-esque has come to mean advertising that is edgy, fun and a touch inappropriate.
The company is best known, though, for being the world’s top Internet domain name registrar. It was recently voted “Best Registrar” by Web users worldwide and is nearly three times the size of its closest competitor. Go Daddy is also one of the world’s top Web hosting companies and can help novices or experts enhance their online presence with fast, friendly customer support.
The Diamond Hill Plywood 200 NASCAR Nationwide Series airs live ESPN2 Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
