DAYTONA
BEACH, Fla., Aug. 13,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NASCAR announced today a new
multi-year partnership with leading full-service logistics partner
Worldwide Express, naming the company the "Official Logistics
Partner of NASCAR". The news comes on the morning of Worldwide
Express' entitlement race, the Worldwide Express 250 for Carrier
Appreciation at Richmond Raceway.
Since becoming a primary team sponsor earlier this year,
Worldwide Express has expanded its presence in NASCAR, signing on
as the entitlement sponsor for this weekend's NASCAR Camping World
Truck Series race, announced earlier this summer. In addition to
the NASCAR Official Partnership, Worldwide Express has also been
designated the "Official Logistics Partner of Richmond
Raceway."
"As a full-service logistics provider, Worldwide Express knows
the amount of hard work and dedication our teams, tracks and
employees put into each race weekend," said Daryl Wolfe, Executive Vice President and Chief
Revenue Officer at NASCAR. "Our sport is always on the go, so we're
thrilled to welcome a company like Worldwide Express who knows what
it takes to deliver a winning race weekend to our fans."
Worldwide Express and its sister brands, GlobalTranz and
Unishippers, began partnerships earlier this year with NASCAR teams
Trackhouse Racing and Niece Motorsports, with the company serving
as a primary sponsor for both teams.
"We are incredibly excited to build on our successful
involvement in NASCAR at the team and race level to now serve as
the Official Logistics Partner for NASCAR as well as for Richmond
Raceway," said Worldwide Express President Rob Rose. "We are uniquely suited to help manage
the logistical complexity that NASCAR and its teams deal with each
week to host and compete in world-class races. We look forward to
partnering with NASCAR to deliver exhilarating race weekends over
the coming years."
