CDW secures RuSPORT sponsorship.

CDW Corporation, a leading provider of technology products to business, government and education, is to become the primary sponsor of the #9 CDW/RuSPORT car of Justin Wilson for the 2006 Champ Car World Series season.

As part of a multi-year sponsorship, CDW will provide the team with technology equipment from some of its leading business partners - including HP, Plantronics and EDGE Technology - in an effort to help the RuSPORT squad build on an encouraging 2005 when the the team secured its break-through victory in the series.

"We're known for delivering technology products to business and public sector customers with speed and accuracy," John A. Edwardson, chairman and chief executive officer of CDW said. "In racing, technology, speed and accuracy all come together, so this partnership with the RuSPORT racing team makes perfect sense for us."

RuSPORT owner Carl Russo was equally pleased with the announcement of the deal.

"We are proud to say that CDW is a true member of our team," he said. "At RuSPORT we live in a world of time-based competition and CDW's experts have already given us a competitive edge. Rapid and effective use of information has enabled us to get to the front and CDW will help us stay there."

In just two seasons of open-wheel racing, Wilson has quickly become one of the Champ Car World Series' most successful young drivers - securing the runner-up slot in the Roshfans Rookie of the Year Award in 2004 while driving for Mi-Jack Conquest and then taking two wins last season having switched to RuSPORT for his second season of competition.

"I'm looking forward to having CDW support me for the 2006 season," the Briton said. "The technology expertise and equipment they can bring to our team can help us make sure our car is performing at its best, improving my chances on the track. It's great to have a lead sponsor that can really be a part of the team and help contribute to victory."
