foneGEAR Goes Racing!
foneGEAR and www.foneGEAR46.com To Grace The Hood Of Crocker Entry In Daytona
February 11, 2008 – Daytona Beach, FL– The foneGEAR product line will make its NASCAR debut at the Craftsman Truck Series with female driver Erin Crocker in the season-opening Chevy Silverado 250. The storied Daytona International Speedway is the perfect setting for the foneGEAR name to make its grand entrance into NASCAR racing via the www.foneGEAR46.com promotion. Just as Daytona is a must see for race fans, foneGEAR is the must-have item for accessorizing their cellular phones, MP3-players and iPods.
foneGEAR is utilizing its relationship with Erin Crocker to promote its foneGIRL line of products. Targeted towards Crocker’s female fan base, foneGIRL adds spark and fashion to their otherwise drab mobile devices. Male race fans should have no fear, however. foneGEAR has a wide product line for everyone.
In addition to their forthcoming line of NASCAR Sprint Cup phone cases which will debut in Spring 2008, foneGEAR also manufactures and distributes a complete line cell phone cases, plus other licensed products for the NFL, more than 85 college teams, Realtree and Mossy Oak brand camouflage, and Professional Bull Riders.
In addition to designing unique cell phone cases and the new pink paint scheme for the No. 46 Chevrolet Silverado of Crocker, foneGEAR has designed special product promotions to kick off our support for NASCAR, which will be available at www.foneGEAR46.com, effective today through March 30th.
“With their new NASCAR line debuting this spring, the timing is perfect to showcase foneGEAR with a special pink paint scheme on the No. 46 Silverado. We have terrific potential to grow this program with foneGEAR beyond the first two races of the season, and I know that is the goal of everyone involved,” Crocker said.
For the devoted NASCAR fans that stay dedicated to the sport’s sponsors, female fans can now turn to foneGEAR for a cute, sassy and fashionable way to showcase their cell phones, just like Erin.
“I am excited to be a part of the www.foneGEAR46.com and Morgan-Dollar Motorsports program for the Daytona and California races,” Crocker added. “There are so many female NASCAR fans, as well as a growing number of younger race fans, who are always looking for unique products that allow them to proudly display their loyalty to the sport, but want something trendy at the same time.
“Morgan-Dollar has consistently fielded exceptional trucks through the years, and are contenders for wins and championships every time they unload at a track. We had a great test at Daytona, so I am looking forward to a solid SPEEDWEEKS in the foneGEAR46.com race truck.”
Added truck owner David Dollar, “We’re excited to have Erin in our truck for Daytona. It’s exciting to start the season off with a new sponsor, too. This is a really great program. They’ve set up a page to track how dedicated NASCAR fans are. All they have to do is go to www.foneGEAR46.com to buy personalized cell phone , MP3 or iPOD accessories and licensed cases, or enter coupon code 46 on www.foneGEAR.com to qualify for free ground shipping on their order. They have a style to fit almost everyone’s needs. They sure do come in handy.”
foneGEAR, Morgan Dollar Motorsports, and Erin Crocker have also teamed up with St Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. Patients of St Jude and their families are never asked to pay for care, treatment, medicine, travel or lodging, so these young heroes depend on public donations to continue support for the preeminent cancer center in the world. The #46 truck will feature St Jude on the truck bed, and fans are encouraged to go to www.racingtosavelives.org to learn about and participate in the St Jude NASCAR campaign.
Crocker and the No. 46 www.foneGEAR46.com Chevrolet Silverado will first qualify for the event on Thursday, February 14th. The Chevy Silverado 250 is set to begin at 8 P.M. EST on Friday, February 15th.

Keep Erin in that truck. Not because she is a woman, but because she is a really good racer. I grew up in Daytona Beach and attended my first race when they were still on the beach. Went to the first Daytona 500 and many since then. Have seen a lot of good drivers and she can be in that group. Give her a chance by keeping her in that truck.

Thanks for the comments everyone! I have to say that the response to this has been amazing for us. For sure nothing would make foneGEAR happier than being able to continue this sponsorship.

Great to see Erin in the truck again. I think foneGEAR/foneGIRL is a very good fit as a sponsor for Erin. Modern, fresh, and outside-the-box. Great eye-catching pink scheme.

You should sponsor Chrissie Wallace. She’s younger, cuter and a way better role model than Crocker. Besides Chrissie is a winner, Erin was mediocre in her races.
