CARTERSVILLE, GA – Crate Racin’ USA officials have announced that StormPay.com has signed on as the title sponsor of the series, which will now be known as the StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series powered by Crate Racin’ USA. Crate Racin’ USA was founded in 2005 by Mike Vaughn, and the series will enter its second season of existence with new personnel and new goals.
Based in Clarksville, TN, StormPay.com is a global leader in the safe and secure processing of online payments and boasts free auction listings. StormPay.com processes online payments in over 200 countries across the world.
“StormPay.com is very excited about the opportunity to be the named sponsor of the StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series,” StormPay.com Chief Executive Officer Steve Girsky said. “This is a very exciting time for StormPay.com and truly creates a great partnership for us. The power of an affordable racing series where the average race enthusiast can actually participate in a race car event against some premier level competition is tremendous.”
In addition to their payment processing services and free online auctions, StormPay.com provides a host of other online services including free e-mail accounts, hosted web home pages, domain name registration, webmaster tools and resources, along with chat rooms, games and more.
“StormPay.com fits in well with our series in that we are both trying to reach the same demographic,” Vaughn said. “First we hired Roby Helm to be our President of Operations and Communications, so we both know our messages about the series and StormPay.com will reach the media and the public.”
StormPay understands that many of their customers are already racing fans, and they see the sport as a vehicle to expand the company by drawing awareness to establishing new customers.
“Many StormPay.com customers are already race fans and our association with the sport will help us create opportunities to attract new customers,” Girsky said. “StormPay sees this partnership with auto racing as a fantastic opportunity to create a forum where any race related property, equipment and merchandise can be listed on the StormPay.com Auctions absolutely free for the benefit of buyers and sellers across the world.”
The first formal function for the Storm Pay.Com Dirt Late Model Series powered by Crate Racin’ USA will be the 2005 Awards Banquet this Wednesday night at the Wyndham Harbor Island Hotel in Tampa, FL, where Helm and Vaughn will introduce Storm Pay.Com CEO Girsky and President John McConnell.
“We’re excited to have both Steve Girsky and John McConnell join us at the Awards Banquet because not only are we going to be introducing them formally to the sport, but we will also be announcing an entirely new concept for Crate Late Model Racing nationwide,” Helm said. “StormPay.com will enable the series to branch out into areas that will benefit competitors, fans, and short tracks not only at the events, but also online through our respective websites.”
Girsky sees many opportunities for StormPay.com and the motorsports industry to work together to benefit everyone involved.
“StormPay.com plans to leverage its race sponsorship with a variety of marketing and promotional initiatives, including a sweepstakes, at-track hospitality, and cross-promotions with other race sponsors,” Girsky said. “StormPay already has an outstanding base of customers worldwide and now our partnership with the StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series gives us another tool in reaching consumers and growing our business."
The first racing event under the Storm Pay.Com Dirt Late Model Series powered by Crate Racin’ USA will be the $10,000-to-win Jasper Engines Crate Late Model World Championship Race at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, FL on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night.
The StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series powered by Crate Racin’ USA features dirt late model race cars powered by affordable “Crate Engines” sealed at the factory. Competitors pay one-tenth the price for a Crate Engine as they would for an open-rule dirt late model engine. The cost for a steel-head crate engine is $2,800 and the aluminum-head version is $4,800.
“After the East Bay event, we’ll be working full speed ahead towards finalizing our 2006 plans for the StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series powered by Crate Racin’ USA,” Helm said. “We’re looking to announce the 2006 National schedule before the end of the year, and our newest project that we will announce on Wednesday night should be set shortly after the first of the year.”
