Microsoft to sponsor Ken Schrader’s NASCAR at Martinsville Speedway

It seems strange why Microsoft have never sponsored motorsport, however that is about to change after the software giant worked with Formula 1 team McLaren to come up with a standard management unit for all the teams, as they are now not allowed to use traction control.

Well it has been reported that Microsoft is about to enter the world of NASCAR by sponsoring Ken Schrader’s #49 Toyota Camry at the Martinsville Speedway this weekend. Microsoft will then sponsor the car for another 32 races.

Let us hope that this partnership goes well, as it would be great for someone like Microsoft to sponsor a Formula 1 team, hopefully McLaren.
