Copart Expands NASCAR Sponsorship With Kevin Harvick Inc. for No. 33 Nationwide Series Car

Copart, Inc. (NASDAQ:CPRT), a leading online vehicle remarketer, is proud to announce that the company is expanding its sponsorship with KHI to include seven races on the No. 33 NASCAR Nationwide Series entry. Copart will serve as the primary sponsor in these races for three different KHI Nationwide drivers including team co-owner Kevin Harvick, 2008 Daytona 500 champion Ryan Newman, and Kelly Bires.

Copart is also serving as primary sponsor for Kevin Harvick Inc.’s No. 33 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Ron Hornaday for five of the 25 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series events to be held in 2009.

“We are excited to expand our relationship with KHI and get the word out to Nationwide Series fans, as well as Camping World Truck Series fans that Copart is the best place to find cars,” said Copart President Jay Adair. “This is just another sign of our commitment to continue providing the most efficient bidding environment possible for our sellers.”

Copart recently enhanced its website to make it easier for new buyers to search for and view vehicles offered at www.copart.com.

“NASCAR fans love cars, and we believe that by showing them what Copart has to offer, they too will have the opportunity to experience the same ease-of-use and access to a huge inventory of great vehicles that Copart.com’s professional buyers have enjoyed for years,” said Adair.

KHI co-owner Kevin Harvick said he is also enthusiastic about his team expanding its relationship with Copart.

“This year the No. 33 Nationwide (Series) team has proven to be a front runner each week and with myself, Ryan Newman and Kelly Bires behind the wheel, I know we can get Copart up front and hopefully to victory lane,” said Harvick.
