Taking Care of Business Paint Scheme at Chicagoland Speedway
No. 99 Office Depot Ford To Feature Individual Signatures of
Nearly 8,000 Office Depot Associates From Around The World
Delray Beach, Fla., July 7, 2008 - When Carl Edwards, driver of the No.
99 Office Depot Ford in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, competes in the
LifeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway on July 12, he'll have some
special passengers along for the ride. For this race only, Office Depot
(NYSE: ODP), the Official Office Products Partner of NASCAR, will
showcase a one-of-a-kind "Taking Care of Business" paint scheme
featuring the individual signatures of close to 8,000 Office Depot
associates from around the world. The signatures collected from all
regions of the world are representative of the fact that Office Depot
associates serve customers in more than 40 countries across the globe.
"I'm excited to have so many Office Depot associates represented on
my race car in such a creative and personal way," said Edwards, who
recorded his best career Cup Series result at Chicagoland Speedway last
July when he finished third. "The 'Taking Care of Business' paint
scheme is special and gives Office Depot associates everywhere an
opportunity to be part of the race action. Hopefully I can thank them
for all of their support with a win and showcase the car in Victory
Lane."
The Office Depot "Taking Care of Business" paint scheme features
the unique signatures of associates from Office Depot sales offices,
retail stores, distribution centers, crossdocks, corporate and
administrative offices in Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany,
Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Korea, Lithuania, the
Netherlands, Romania, Spain, Slovakia, Switzerland, the United Kingdom
and the United States.
In conjunction with the special paint scheme, Office Depot also hosted
a special sweepstakes in North America in which ten lucky associates won
a VIP trip to attend the Sprint Cup Series race at Chicagoland Speedway.
Each winning associate receives two race tickets, a tour of the garages
and the thrill of seeing the NASCAR Sprint Cup race in person.
"This special paint scheme is a terrific way to recognize the hard
work and dedication of Office Depot associates who are taking care of
business for our customers every single day in locations all around the
world," said Chuck Rubin, President of North American Retail for
Office Depot.
