SMARTBOX to Sponsor Busch Series Driver in Richmond
Dange Hanniford to make Busch debut in SMARTBOX No. 56 car at RIR

RICHMOND, Va., April 27, 2007 – SMARTBOX, a portable storage and moving firm that is growing rapidly throughout the country, today announces it is moving into the fast lane of another sort by sponsoring the No. 56 car of Dange Hanniford in next Friday’s NASCAR Busch Series Circuit City 250 at Richmond International Raceway (RIR).

Hanniford raced in the Hooters Pro Cup Championship in 2006 (finishing two points short of Rookie of the Year) and is making his Busch Series debut in Richmond for the Mac Hill Motorsports team. He grew up in Darlington, S.C., minutes from the track “too tough to tame.”

“We’re excited about the opportunity to sponsor an up-and-coming driver, and at the same time, introduce SMARTBOX to NASCAR fans across the country and an ESPN2 national audience,” said Michael Lowe, president and CEO of SMARTBOX.

SMARTBOX was founded in 2003 and has opened franchises in Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, Jacksonville, Fla., Minneapolis, Raleigh, N.C., and San Antonio the past 12 months. Earlier this year, SMARTBOX was named as one of the top 50 franchises in the United States by the Franchise Business Review.
