CARFAX returns to Michigan for a second NASCAR Busch Series Race

CARFAX 250 To Be Held At Michigan International Speedway on Aug. 18

August 9, 2007
CARFAX , the expert in vehicle history, announced it will return as title sponsor of the CARFAX 250 NASCAR Busch Series race at Michigan International Speedway (MIS) on Aug. 18. By continuing its involvement with NASCAR racing, the company is further expanding its outreach to the millions of used car-buying NASCAR fans around the country.

The CARFAX 250 will take place on Saturday, August 18 at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich.

“We’re thrilled to continue our relationship with MIS and be a part of another great racing event at this track,” said Larry Gamache, communications director at CARFAX . “So much has happened in the last year – we celebrated our 20th anniversary and the CARFAX database recently surpassed five billion records. Better still, we have several exciting announcements upcoming about this year’s race that are sure to get NASCAR fans’ engines revving.”

This year marks the second of three years CARFAX is sponsoring the NASCAR Busch Series race at MIS. Last year’s inaugural CARFAX 250 featured a controversial finish and heated post-race confrontation between drivers Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Carl Edwards. Earnhardt won the race.
