ION Camera Welcomes NASCAR Racer Dave Smith to Team ION
Online, June 16, 2013 (Newswire.com) - iON Worldwide, the global consumer electronics company known for bringing Shoot/Shareâ„¢ Wi-Fi connectivity to point-of-view (POV) cameras, announced its sponsorship of veteran racer Dave Smith at the NASCAR Carneros 200 Pro Series West Race, which will take place on June 22 during the 25th Anniversary of the Toyota/Savemart 350 Weekend at the Sonoma Raceway. Smith will pilot the Naake-Klauer Motorsports-prepared no. 88 iON Camera Chevrolet as the newest member of Team iON.
"iON is seriously committed to supporting the motorsports community. We are especially excited to be the primary sponsor of Dave Smith and the no. 88 iON Camera Chevrolet at the NASCAR Carneros 200 Pro Series West Race, and look forward to seeing the no. 88 Chevy win this race for the second year in a row," said Giovanni Tomaselli, CEO, iON Worldwide. "We are very proud that Dave has joined Team iON as our in-house NASCAR driver."
Smith, a POV camera advocate, researched the available cameras for his motorsports endeavors and found iON cameras to be superior to anything he had used before. "I rely on the in-car camera footage to analyze my driving every time I get into a race car," remarked Smith, who also uses iON cameras when instructing racers with his coaching company, Hyperfocus Motorsports. "I am thrilled at the chance to race with a winning team at my home track in Sonoma and happy to showcase iON cameras with this effort."
The iON Camera no. 88 Chevrolet, also supported by Sonoma Harvest and Lenders Commercial Finance, will be featured in the SPEED TV broadcast in July.
