On Thursday Yates Racing proclaimed that Carfax will sponsor Travis Kvapil, driver of the No. 28 Ford Fusion, on August 17th at Michigan International Speedway. This will be Carfax’s first venture into NASCAR’s top series.

"I'm really looking forward to this sponsorship for our race weekend at Michigan," Kvapil stated. "Carfax is a company that millions of consumers rely on each year when it comes to vehicle history. This partnership is another great way for us to help get the word out about the services they can provide. I am honored that Carfax came to our Yates Racing team and chose to support our efforts as an organization. We have been fortunate enough to have many great partners this season who believe in what our team has set out to accomplish. I can't wait to showcase our No. 28 Carfax Ford Fusion at Michigan."

With three Top-10 finishes so far this season, Kvapil sits in the 23rd spot in the points standings.

Carfax is excited to make its Sprint Cup debut with Yates Racing.

"We're thrilled to expand our presence in NASCAR to the Sprint Cup Series by teaming up with Yates Racing to sponsor the No. 28 Carfax Ford Fusion," said Larry Gamache, communications director at Carfax. "Travis is having his best season yet as a Sprint Cup driver and we join the millions of NASCAR fans in cheering him on during the race. Anyone at Michigan International Speedway or watching on TV is in for a fun-filled race weekend, beginning Saturday with the Carfax 250."
