Web related companies are no rookies when it comes to sponsoring race teams in the largest Motorsport circuit NASCAR, with GoDaddy.com being the most visual sponsoring some of the top drivers and teams in both NASCAR and INDY Car. Danica Patrick’s # 7 INDY Car hold a primary sponsorship for GoDaddy and Mark Martin drives the #5 GoDaddy car in the Sprint Cup series. Danica is also running a part time ride in the #7 Godaddy Nationwide car in NASCAR. GoDaddy has also sponsored races, TV broadcasts Dale Earnhardt JR, and is affiliated with Hendrick Motorsports.

Hostgator.com # 87 Race Car Joe NemechekSponsorship has been hard to come by in all of motorsports and this likely has lowered the price to be put on the car and is opening some doors where smaller companies didn’t have the chance to get onto race cars in Sprint Cup. Joe’s team is a low budget team who often starts a race and then pulls off a short time later so it can be profitable (Start and Park).

Taking on a sponsor will require Joe to likely run the whole race at Daytona but since he has sponsorship, it makes it a bit easier. The good thing for Joe and Hostgator, just about anybody can win at a super speedway and Daytona is just that. If it was a short track or mile and a half, Joe would end up being more of the winner than Hostgator IMO.

Hostgator.com will likely get some TV time during the Sprint Cup race, because good old Joe still knows how to race at the restrictor plate tracks, which Daytona is.

Joe Nemechek earned the nick name "Front Row Joe" as he would often start the race in the 1st or 2nd starting spots do to qualifying very well. This has not happened for Joe in awhile, but he still holds the nick name. In fact, Joe uses his nick name for his domain name for his personal racing site at FrontRowJoe.com . It would appear by just looking at the site, Joe uses affiliate product links to help make some money for himself and his race team at Nemco on his home page. That is about all the site has to offer as of now.

Best of luck to Joe and his partnership with the web hosting company Hostgator.com!
