CDW Looks Ahead to Edmonton with Toronto Checkered Flag in Hand
TORONTO –July 12, 2005 - CDW Corporation (NASDAQ: CDWC), proud sponsor in partnership with RuSPORT of winning driver Justin Wilson in Sunday's 20th running of the Molson Indy, is looking ahead with optimism to the Grand Prix of Edmonton. Wilson captured the checkered flag in the #9 car sponsored by CDW in front of more than 71,000 race fans at the Molson Indy in Toronto.
"To win the race, Justin exhibited the same speed, performance, responsiveness and effort that the CDW team delivers our customers everyday," said Jon Stevens, general manager of CDW Canada and CIO of CDW Corporation.
"I'm really pleased that we could deliver such a great victory for CDW in their first sponsorship, and we're all looking forward to Edmonton," Wilson said.
CDW is also similar to the RuSPORT racing team in that both are making an impact in their second year of competition in Canada. After only two years in the marketplace, CDW Canada is racing towards the lead in the Canadian reseller market.
"The performance and efficiency that auto racing delivers are perfect parallels to the professionalism and urgency we bring to meeting our customers' needs on a daily basis," Stevens noted.
The CDW car will race again in the Grand Prix of Edmonton from July 15 through July 17.
