NASCAR
Camping World Truck Series
Race at Eldora Speedway
CarCash Mudsummer Classic
Presented
by CNBC Prime’s ‘The Profit’ Debuts July 24
ROSSBURG,
Ohio (July 10, 2013) –
Eldora Speedway officials and Marcus Lemonis, chairman and CEO of
Camping World
and star of CNBC Prime’s “The Profit”, announced today that 1-800
CarCash will
serve as title sponsor of the inaugural NASCAR Camping World Truck
Series race
at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.

The
CarCash Mudsummer Classic
presented by CNBC Prime’s “The Profit” will run under the lights on
Wednesday,
July 24, marking the return to a dirt track for a national NASCAR
series for
the first time in 42 years. The last dirt race was Sept. 30, 1970 at
the North
Carolina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh, N.C., where Richard Petty took
the 117th
of his record 200 career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series wins. Like Eldora, it
was on
a Wednesday night and contested on a half-mile oval.
The
partnership between CarCash and
Eldora represents a unique combination of firsts. The CarCash Mudsummer
Classic
presented by CNBC Prime’s “The Profit” is the first NASCAR Camping
World Truck
Series race held on a dirt track. CarCash – The Fastest Way to Sell
Your Car
since 1977 – is the first business being showcased in a groundbreaking
new
television reality series “The Profit”, which debuts July 30 at 10 p.m.
EDT/PDT
on CNBC. Information about the program is available at
www.cnbc.com/the-profit.
The
connection between the NASCAR
Camping World Truck Series, CarCash and CNBC Prime’s “The Profit” is
Lemonis.
When
Lemonis isn’t running Camping
World, he goes on the hunt for unique businesses with untapped
potential. In
the past decade, he has successfully improved more than 100 companies.
Now he’s
bringing those skills to CNBC and putting his own money on the line.
In
each episode, Lemonis makes an
offer – his cash for a piece of the business and a percentage of the
profits.
And once inside these companies, he’ll do almost anything to continue
his track
record of success. Viewers will get to see his personal mantra ring
true:
“Business success is about the three Ps: People, Process and Product.”
“As
CEO of Camping World, we’ve
seen the value in motorsports marketing, and the inaugural NASCAR
Camping World
Truck Series race at Eldora Speedway provides an excellent opportunity
for
CarCash to promote its brand and for me to promote ‘The Profit’ on CNBC
Prime,”
Lemonis said. “The first dirt race in a national NASCAR series in 42
years is
definitely unique, and what we’re doing on ‘The Profit’ is unique, too.
It’s
the perfect way to showcase CarCash and to spread the word about ‘The
Profit’.”
“Being
a small business in rural
Ohio, we’re proud Marcus recognized Eldora as the ideal venue to
showcase both
CarCash and the premiere episode of ‘The Profit’,” said Tony Stewart,
three-time
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion and owner of Eldora Speedway. “As one
of the
most anticipated sports events of 2013, having CarCash become the title
sponsor
of the Mudsummer Classic is an example of Marcus’ entrepreneurial
spirit, and
people can see more of it on ‘The Profit’, his new show on CNBC Prime.”
The
CarCash Mudsummer Classic
presented by CNBC Prime’s “The Profit” will feature six hours of live
programming on SPEED. The network will broadcast practice sessions for
the
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series from the July 23 “Tuesday Night
