ÏWe have worked with theGPSstore.com in previous years to support Chad and the Green Light racing team, and we start the 2007 season with even higher hopes,Ó said Dan Bartel, GarminÌs vice president of worldwide sales. ÏOur renewed support of Chad and the No. 08 team is a clear indication that we are committed to NASCAR and its legions of brand-loyal fans. Chad is a bright young star in the racing world, and we anticipate that heÌll be making a push for the checkered flag on a regular basis.Ó
Garmin is the premier provider of GPS (Global Positioning System) enabled devices and a leading designer and manufacturer of consumer electronics. GarminÌs n"vi" and StreetPilot" personal navigation devices are the standard by which others are judged Ò thanks to their elegant design, simple user interface, and rich set of features. Garmin also manufactures a variety of state-of-the-art GPS enabled products for boaters, hikers, hunters, runners, cyclists, and pilots. A retailer of Garmin products for more than ten years, theGPSstore.com sells virtually the entire lineup of Garmin navigation devices online.
ÏWeÌre pleased to have Garmin back for another year,Ó said Drew Reger, president of theGPSstore.com. ÏOver the years, weÌve learned that getting involved with NASCAR definitely helps raise awareness of and loyalty to our business, and thereÌs great synergy when Garmin attaches its name as well. Automotive GPS systems can benefit every race fan, so it's a natural fit for The GPS Store and Garmin to be involved in NASCAR.Ó

2006 marked Chad McCumbeeÌs rookie season in the Craftsman Truck series, where he finished second in Rookie of the Year competition Ò with nine top 15 finishes. Friday marks McCumbeeÌs first race at Daytona in a truck, but heÌs had experience at the superspeedway on the ARCA circuit.
ÏI think any experience at Daytona is going to be good to help you get all of the first time jitters out. Any time that you go to a big notorious track like Daytona, you need to learn where you need to be,Ó said McCumbee. ÏI definitely wouldn't count us out for the win.Ó
