TaxACT Co-Sponsoring Danica Patrick's No. 10 GoDaddy Chevrolet

CEDAR RAPIDS, IA--(Marketwired - Jan 13, 2015) - TaxACT®, the official tax preparation service partner of Danica Patrick and Stewart-Haas Racing, is teaming up with GoDaddy as a co-primary sponsor for Danica Patrick's No. 10 Chevrolet in several key races this year. The partnership starts with Daytona's Speed Week February 14 and includes the February Sprint Unlimited in Daytona and in Martinsville this March.

TaxACT is the maker of do-it-yourself digital tax filing solutions that help millions of Americans file their taxes. TaxACT is easy, fast and free.

"Our GoDaddy team and TaxACT are a natural fit because we each share values like teamwork, confidence and a 'get it done' attitude," Danica said.

The 2015 TaxACT sponsorship debuts during tax season when consumers are filing their annual income tax returns. "The team at Stewart-Haas Racing approached us because their research showed TaxACT, as a company and a culture, aligned with the sport's qualities of determination, speed and passion," said TaxACT President JoAnn Kintzel.

Like Danica's long-time primary sponsor, GoDaddy, both companies boast millions of customers and a "can do" spirit. Customers are independent and motivated to succeed on their own terms and choose TaxACT and GoDaddy to save money, empower themselves, and get ahead.

"Get ready for some NASCAR-style marketing and exciting times," said GoDaddy Chief Marketing Officer Barb Rechterman. "Our customers and Danica's fans really do embody the 'You Got This' spirit of TaxACT and GoDaddy. We're going to help a whole lot more people get through tax season and have some fun along the way!"

As the official tax preparation service partner of Danica Patrick and Stewart-Haas Racing, TaxACT is announcing the TaxACT Fast Cars, Fast Refunds Sweepstakes with Danica Patrick. Beginning today, January 13, fans can enter for a chance to win a behind-the-scenes, VIP experience with Danica Patrick on Sunday, February 22 at the race in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Race day activities for the lucky winners include a Danica meet-and-greet, a behind-the-scenes tour and time with Danica on the race grid prior to race start. Secondary prizes include, and are not limited to, an autographed Danica Patrick/TaxACT firesuit and autographed pieces of sheet metal from the TaxACT No. 10 Chevrolet.

"All fans have to do to enter is go to TaxACT.com/Danica. Fans can also start their free federal tax return for their maximum guaranteed refund the fastest way possible. It's free -- and it's that easy," said Kintzel.

The TaxACT Fast Cars, Fast Returns Sweepstakes will end on February 8, with winners to be announced shortly after then.

The TaxACT sponsorship of the No. 10 Chevrolet spans the height of tax season for most people -- from January until mid-April. "It's a great way to drive attention during tax time," Kintzel said.
