October 15, 2010 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Danica Patrick's No. 7 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet will have a "hot" new look under the lights in the NASCAR Nationwide Series season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Nov. 20. As part of a collaborative effort between
Go Daddy, Hot Wheels and JR Motorsports, the latest version of Patrick's No. 7 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet features an all-new paint scheme that was designed by Hot Wheels and unveiled today at the JR Motorsports facility.
The unveiled design is one of three sketches that Hot Wheels designers created by hand and in digital form. Of those three blueprints, Patrick and Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons mutually selected their favorite. The winning selection features a black No. 7 Chevrolet accentuated with vibrant Go Daddy-green flames that emblazon the hood, roof and sides of the vehicle.
"I've always felt like night racing adds an element of excitement to the race," Patrick said at the unveiling. "This paint scheme on our Go Daddy car looks amazing, and I can't wait to see how cool it looks in the night race at Homestead. It was great to have Bob and Go Daddy help pick the design. Hot Wheels did a great job with the sketches. It was a difficult choice."
"You have to admit, Danica's No. 7 GoDaddy.com car has never looked so hot," joked Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons. "The Hot Wheels touch is fun! And when you think about it, the flames are a fitting analogy for our Go Daddy Girl Danica is about as fiery a driver as there is on the track!"
A 1:64-scale die-cast version of Patrick's No. 7 GoDaddy.com Designed by Hot Wheels Chevrolet will be available in retail stores and at track beginning Nov. 20, in celebration of the final NASCAR Nationwide race of 2010 at Homestead-Miami. It marks the second time this season Hot Wheels has produced a version of Patrick's No. 7 Chevrolet. The company also produced a 1:64-scale version of the Hot Wheels Chevrolet that Patrick drove at Michigan earlier this summer.
"We are always looking for best-in-class partners, like Go Daddy and JR Motorsports, to further to engage our fans in new and thrilling ways," said Simon Waldron, vice president, marketing, Hot Wheels. "We are excited to expand our presence in racing with Go Daddy and Danica Patrick, and create a new eye-catching livery like only Hot Wheels can. We look forward to seeing this Designed by Hot Wheels car cross the finish line in Miami."
