NASCAR Race Driver Opts For Digital Asset Payment In Sponsorship Deal

A professional race car driver in NASCAR’s Xfinity Series, Landon Cassill plans to fetch a share of his salary in terms of BTC and LTC as part of a sponsorship with digital asset broker Voyager.

Landon Cassill mentioned,

“There are a handful of pilots who like crypto, but I am probably one of the ones who has been around long enough and I am quite comfortable with how it works.”

As per a recent report from the Associated Press, Voyager has established a nineteen-year agreement to sponsor Cassill beginning this weekend at the NASCAR race at the Nashville Superspeedway. Cassill mentioned that the company would pay for the deal completely in terms of virtual currency, which includes Bitcoin and Litecoin.

Cassill said,

“There are a handful of pilots who like crypto, but I am probably one of the ones who has been around long enough and I am quite comfortable with how it works. I can trade it right away before the market changes or hold on to it while the market goes up or down, take out a little, pay my bills with it and keep the rest.”

Notably, several other NASCAR drivers have formed relationships with digital asset firms over the last couple of years. Last year, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey previewed Square’s Cash App car to be driven by Darrell “Bubba” Wallace in a NASCAR racing series and the car featured at least 2 Bitcoin logos.
