GoDaddy.com will sponsor the No. 5 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Nationwide Series in 2008. Plans are for Dale Earnhardt Jr to be behind the wheel for 2 races: the April Texas race, and the August road course race at Watkins Glen.

GoDaddy is the world’s largest internet domain registrar, and also provides website hosting and internet marketing services.

Like his No. 88 Amp – Mountain Dew – National Guard paint scheme, Dale Jr also designed the racy black, orange and green paint scheme for GoDaddy.

The internet firm will be the primary sponsor for the No. 5 Chevrolet in 2008. Earnhardt will share driving duties with Mark Martin and Ron Fellows.

“I’m very proud of this car and I’m looking forward to driving it and representing GoDaddy.com in select Nationwide Series races this year,” Earnhardt said. “It’s racy and edgy. It’s a sharp-looking car and we are going to have some fun driving it this year.”

GoDaddy was thrilled to add Dale Jr to it’s sponsorship program.

“We’re excited to welcome GoDaddy.com to our Nationwide Series effort,” said Marshall Carlson, general manager of Hendrick Motorsports. “With a driver lineup of this caliber, we have a great opportunity to take our new partner to victory lane in 2008. It’s shaping up to be an exciting season with GoDaddy.com, JR Motorsports and the No. 5 Chevrolets.”

Junior joins the Indy Racing League’s Danica Patrick as spokesperson for GoDaddy. Danica appeared in GoDaddy ads in the last Super Bowl. I wonder if Dale Jr will do the same this year?
