Copart to Sponsor Legendary Kenny Bernstein Dragster for 2010 NHRA Season

“We feel this new relationship with Hall of Famer Kenny Bernstein is a perfect fit for us, as there is a high percentage of do-it-yourselfers and car enthusiasts that follow NHRA who can benefit from our selection of over one million vehicles each year,” said Copart President Adair.

Copart began its foray into the racing world in 2009 with sponsorships in NASCAR. Adair said that the speed and excitement of drag racing is yet another way to reach car enthusiasts.

Copart recently enhanced its website to make it easier for new buyers to search for and view vehicles offered at www.copart.com, demonstrating Copart‘s ongoing commitment to provide the most efficient bidding environment possible.

Brandon Bernstein, who has been driving since 2003 and has 17 career victories to his credit, will be driving the Copart dragster in 2010. The Copart dragster will feature a new blue paint scheme that mirrors Copart’s colors. With Brandon behind the wheel, Adair said Copart looks forward to an exciting year in NHRA motorsports.

“The Bernsteins are known winners, and we know our customers also win when we reach more buyers and increase awareness of Copart,” Adair said. “Winning is awesome, and we look forward to a winning season with Kenny Bernstein.”

Six-time NHRA champion Kenny Bernstein is well-known throughout the motorsports community. He holds the unique distinction of being the only race team owner to have collected wins in each of America’s three major motorsports series: NHRA drag racing, NASCAR, and IndyCar racing.

Copart replaces Budweiser as the team’s major sponsor. During its 30 year association with Budweiser, Kenny Bernstein Racing captured six NHRA titles. Bernstein, who is famous for building Budweiser’s brand identity in the motorsports community, will now promote Copart with the same zeal.

“We are thrilled to announce this new relationship with Copart,” said Bernstein. “We visited Copart headquarters in July and were amazed by the technology that allows buyers from all over the world to bid on an extensive inventory of more than 50,000 vehicles each day.”

Copart, founded in 1982, provides vehicle sellers with a full range of remarketing services to process and sell cars, trucks, motorcycles and other vehicles to dealers, dismantlers, rebuilders, exporters, and to consumers. Copart remarkets the vehicles through an Internet based auction utilizing its patented VB2 technology. Copart sells vehicles on behalf of insurance companies, banks, finance companies, fleet operators, dealers, car dealerships, the general public and others. The company currently operates 147 facilities in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

Kenny Bernstein Racing is headquartered in Brownsburg, Indiana, with business offices in Lake Forest, California.
