STATESVILLE, N.C. -- Gillett Evernham Motorsports announced today that Verizon Wireless and Motorola will sponsor rookie Chase Miller in seven additional races completing the No.9 Dodge's sponsorship schedule in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.
Verizon Wireless and Motorola will utilize its sponsorship of Gillett Evernham Motorsports and the No. 9 Dodge to reach racing fans both on and off the track in the Nationwide Series through a variety of racing related promotions. The sponsorship also will support the wireless telecommunications products and services related to Verizon Wireless and Motorola throughout 2008 utilizing Miller's profile as a successful driver with youthful exuberance.
"NASCAR is an exciting and dynamic sport followed by millions of our customers and other consumers," said Jerry Fountain, President of Carolinas/Tennessee Region for Verizon Wireless. "We're proud to team up with Motorola and Gillett Evernham Motorsports."

"My dream has always been to race in NASCAR and when someone gives you an opportunity to race in more Nationwide races it's like getting the perfect birthday gift. To do it with companies like Verizon Wireless and Motorola makes it even better. I am sure the text messages will start rolling in once they hear about this deal for me."
