SAN FRANCISCO — SpotOn, a leading software and payments provider, will be the primary sponsor of Derek Griffith for his super late model races this season. The agreement marks the second season that SpotOn, technology partner for Griffith’s auto business, will sponsor Griffith. The No. 12 SpotOn car will premiere at the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing at New Smyrna Speedway on Friday and will race seven times over the next nine nights to open the season.
“Derek embodies so many of the values that SpotOn stands for: heart, hustle, humility, empathy. He works on his own vehicle; he runs his own successful auto business; and he’s out on the track delivering championship performances. He’s a phenomenal young man – on and off the track,” said Kevin Bryla, Chief Marketing Officer of SpotOn. “We got to know Derek when he started using SpotOn technology to help run his auto business, and we quickly realized we had shared values. The partnership is a natural fit, so we’re proud to see him in the SpotOn car for another season.”
Super late models are where Griffith started his racing career and it remains his favorite part of racing.
“Even if you’re racing at the highest levels, you come to late model racing to prove yourself. It’s a true “drivers’ race”. The fans are amazing. I love it,” said Griffith.
For that reason, SpotOn decided to focus its sponsorship of Griffith on his late model. This season, Griffith will compete in the Rattler 250 & Baby Rattler at South Alabama Speedway, PASS Pro Stocks Easter Bunny Twin 150s at Hickory Motor Speedway in North Carolina, and the Pro All Star Series among other events.
