Driver Justin Boston will take part in the NextEra Energy Resources 250 at the Daytona International Speedway in Florida on 20th February, with BitPay being the primary vehicle sponsor for that race. The race is the second far-reaching sporting event sponsored by BitPay, following its recent support of the Bitcoin St Petersburg Bowl in Florida.

“I couldn't be more excited about having this opportunity to represent the BitPay brand on and off the track,” Boston said in a press statement.

Boston took to Twitter and Instagram to share images of what will soon be a BitPay-branded NASCAR truck.
