Location Based Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:LBAS), maker of the
PocketFinder vehicle and personal GPS devices that allow others to “see”
and track location information, announced today that the company will
continue its NASCAR based awareness campaign with a doubleheader event
for the NASCAR championship weekend at Homestead-Miami Florida.
For the final race events of 2013 season, Sprint Cup driver and 2011
NASCAR Nationwide Series “Rookie of the Year” Champion Timmy Hill will
drive the #23 PocketFinder Chevrolet in the Ford Ecoboost 300 (NYSE:F)
and two-time Canadian NASCAR series Champion DJ Kennington will drive
the #84 Chevrolet in the Ford Ecoboost 200 with both events featured at
Homestead-Miami Speedway.
“These races feature the best of the best and finalize the 2013
standings,” said Dave Morse, CEO of LBT. “LBT is proud to be partnered
with NASCAR, DJ and Timmy in this weekend’s races at Homestead. Many
NASCAR fans now have the ability to locate their cars, boats, RV’s,
ATV’s and people that they love with the touch of a button from anywhere
and at any time,” he added.
Race events including practice and qualifying laps will feature the
PocketFinder vehicles and will be televised on ESPN and FOX Sports 1, as
well as broadcast live on MRN radio and Sirius satellite channel #90.
“This weekend we are excited to again feature PocketFinder to NASCAR
fans in our continued awareness campaign. We have Timmy and DJ back in
the cars for a back to back effort to represent the company and their
great tracking technologies. What race fan wouldn’t want to know where
their car, truck, RV or toy was right from their phone?” stated Rick
Ware.
