Voyager Digital sponsors first NASCAR driver paid in crypto

NEW YORK Voyager Digital Ltd. is pleased to announce an agreement with NASCAR driver Landon Cassill to be the first primary sponsorship of a NASCAR race car paid fully in a portfolio of cryptocurrency, led by Litecoin (LTC) and the Voyager Token (VGX). The sponsored car will be fielded by JD Motorsports and driven by Cassill during a number of races throughout the 2021 NASCAR Xfinity Series season.

“Landon Cassill’s focus and determination on the race track translates across everything he does, which is why we’re honored to partner with him in this season’s Xfinity Series,” said Steve Ehrlich, CEO of Voyager. “Landon also shares our vision of widespread crypto adoption, and we’re proud to be the first company to secure a primary NASCAR sponsorship completely with crypto. Through innovation, Voyager continues to  demonstrate crypto’s multiple use cases, from being a valuable and efficient form of payment to an investment asset class fuelling a new technology revolution.”

Cassill will be racing the No. 4 Chevrolet Camaro customized with a full, Voyager-branded car wrap. The vehicle will be driven in 19 Xfinity Series races this season across 16 states — the first of which will be on June 19 in the Tennessee Lottery 250 at Nashville Superspeedway (3:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

“I’m thrilled to be partnering with Voyager because they make it simple for anyone to participate in the crypto market,” said Cassill. “The Voyager platform offers a vast selection of coins on which to buy and earn interest, giving everyday investors access to wealth-building opportunities. Crypto is changing the game for so many people, and is the reason I’ve accepted this sponsorship 100% in cryptocurrencies and will be representing Voyager this season.”

“For Litecoin (LTC) to be used as payment to sponsor Landon Cassill is exciting and a validation of LTC’s original purpose,” stated Litecoin’s creator and Managing Director of the Litecoin Foundation, Charlie Lee.  “Landon has been a strong supporter of Litecoin and cryptocurrencies for a number of years, and this landmark deal shows the growing reach of the Litecoin community into the professional sports world and, eventually, beyond.”
