Voyager Digital (VOYG.T) inks all-crypto deal with Landon Cassill to turn left for five straight hours

Voyager Digital (VOYG.T) negotiated a two-year extension of their partnership with Landon Cassill in collaboration with Kaulig Racing.

Kaulig will be adding Cassill to their 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) lineup. They’re paying Cassill with a portfolio of crypto that inclues Bitcoin, the Voyager Token, USDC, StormX (STMX) and Avalanche (AVAX).

“We built a historic partnership with Landon, as the first NASCAR driver to be fully paid in crypto, and continuing this journey with him will be an incredible ride for Voyager,” said Steve Ehrlich, CEO and co-founder of Voyager. “We’re excited about this collaboration with Kaulig Racing and can’t wait to see what is next in Landon’s promising career.”

Voyager Digital is a fast-growing cryptocurrency platform in the United States. Originally founded in 2018, it offers a decent selection of 65 cryptocurrencies, with transparency and cost-efficiency in the package. Now most of you may not know what Kaulic Racing is. It’s a full-time multi-car NASCAR Cup Series owned by entrepreneur Matt Kaulig, and established in 2016. They’ve since become one of the top competitors on the track every weekend.

Getting paid multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency to turn left for four hours seems like a good gig, if you can get it. Cassill will drive the Number 10 Chevrolet and compete for the 2022 NXS championship alongside the reigning champ Daniel Hemric, and Kaulig’s most successful driver, AJ Allmendinger.

“We are really excited to bring Landon Cassill onboard for the 2022 season,” said Chris Rice, president of Kaulig Racing. “Landon has competed in NASCAR’s top series for many years and has brought with him a pivotal partner in Voyager Digital. We are looking forward to this partnership with Voyager and think Landon will be a great asset to our Kaulig Racing family.”

Cassill’s record bears out that he’s a good choice. He has 510 starts in all three of NASCAR’s national series, with 176 of those being made in the NXS. Cassill also earned Rookie of the Year in the NXS in 2008 and secured a pole award and five top-10 finishes.

“Continuing my partnership with Voyager Digital and driving for Kaulig Racing is an incredible opportunity for me,” said Cassill. “I have a world-class partner in Voyager and the best support team in the business with Kaulig Racing. I am excited to not only have a shot at winning races, but to bring awareness to crypto and help educate people in a space that I’ve been personally invested in for a number of years.”

Beyond that, Voyager is joining forces with crypto cashback platform StormX to drive crypto adoption, as well as payment solutions provider, Usio (USIO.Q). Both will show up on the side of Cassill’s number 10 Chevy during this 2022 NXS season, and for the reason opener the car will include a redesigned scheme featuring the phase “Crypto for All.”
