LiftMaster®, the world's number one brand of professionally installed garage door openers, gate operators and commercial door operators, announced today that it will partner with Charlotte Motor Speedway as the title sponsor of LiftMaster Pole Day on May 24.

LiftMaster Pole Day will "open" the Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR race weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway with two History 300 NASCAR Nationwide Series practice sessions and a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice session before LiftMaster Pole Day qualifying for the Coca-Cola 600 on May 27.

Also for the 2012 season, LiftMaster® will take their sponsorship to the next level. Later this year, in September at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, McMurray will pilot the No. 1 LiftMaster Chevrolet.  By owning this primary paint scheme on the No. 1 car, LiftMaster is making a bold statement in the sport of auto racing and offering new levels of access and support to fans everywhere. LiftMaster will also continue to serve as a season-long associate sponsor on McMurray's No. 1 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

LiftMaster will also continue as the "Official Garage Door Opener" of Texas Motor Speedway and will receive numerous branding opportunities, including the naming rights for the speedway's NASCAR Nationwide Series and IZOD IndyCar Series garage area.

"We're excited to begin our new partnership with Charlotte Motor Speedway through the LiftMaster Pole Day sponsorship and to continue our relationship with Earnhardt Ganassi Racing and Texas Motor Speedway in 2012," said Pat Rooney, Director, Marketing Communications, LiftMaster. "Just like in the fast-paced world of NASCAR, we know that people today lead very hectic lives. LiftMaster believes that people want to come and go from their homes quickly and easily and we offer the safety, security, freedom and control that they value and appreciate."
