NASCAR’s Richard Childress Racing Team Equips Show Cars With LoJack System: In an effort to protect its highly valuable show car fleet from theft while they are traveling from exhibit to exhibit, the Richard Childress Racing (RCR) Promotions team has equipped 26 of its retired NASCAR race cars and the tractors and trailers they are hauled in with LoJack Corporation’s (NASDAQ: LOJN) Stolen Vehicle Recovery System. The covert LoJack system offers a better than 90 percent success rate in recovering stolen cars and trucks and is directly integrated into law enforcement agencies around the country. “Theft has always been a major concern when we are on the road with these irreplaceable show cars,” said Richard Childress, President and CEO of the nine-time NASCAR championship-winning organization. “That’s why we turned to LoJack. We have been so impressed with the company’s successful track record, as well as LoJack’s process of working directly with the police who recover stolen cars. With LoJack, we can rest easier knowing that we’re going to get these cars back if they ever do fall into the hands of thieves.” “We’re very proud to be part of the NASCAR community,” said Richard T. Riley, LoJack’s President and Chief Operating Officer. “We think it’s important to let all NASCAR fans know that it’s not just the cars they come to view that are at risk. Hondas, Toyotas, and Ford pickups are typically among the most common theft targets. So, every vehicle owner needs theft protection. Since today’s thieves can outsmart just about any theft deterrent device, there’s a clear need for systems like LoJack that guarantee recovery when and if a vehicle is stolen.” - Richard Childress Racing Press Release
