Landon Cassill to be Paid in Digital Currencies, JD Motorsports\u2019 No. 4 Chevrolet Will Sport Voyager Branding<\/h2>\n

According to an announcement<\/a> published on nascar.com, Landon Cassill, the professional stock car racing driver who drives the JD Motorsports\u2019 No. 4 Chevrolet, will be paid in crypto for the rest of the NASCAR season. Cassill is a big supporter of the crypto ecosystem and a friend of Voyager CEO Steve Ehrlich. The partnership will also see the No. 4 Chevy feature a \u201cVoyager paint scheme in Saturday\u2019s Tennessee Lottery 250 at Nashville Superspeedway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cassill explained to nascar.com that he checks his \u201cVoyager account probably 100 times a day.\u201d Even though cryptocurrencies can be volatile, Cassill stressed that he is willing to take the risk. \u201cWell, I mean, there is risk in holding cryptocurrency as there is with any stock or any investment,\u201d Cassill remarked further. \u201cBut for me, it\u2019s something I\u2019m familiar with, I\u2019m comfortable with and I feel like I have a good handle on what I\u2019m willing to risk and what I need to pay my bills.\u201d<\/p>\n

Education and Furthering Crypto Visibility<\/h2>\n

Landon Cassill follows the growing list of celebrities, athletes, and luminaries getting into digital currencies. Last year, NBA star Spencer Dinwiddie tokenized his contract<\/a> and the NFL offensive tackle Russell Okung is paid in bitcoin (BTC)<\/a>. NASCAR driver Darrell \u201cBubba\u201d Wallace revealed<\/a> last July that the bitcoin logo would be featured on his Cash App-sponsored Chevy No. 43. Voyager\u2019s CEO Ehrlich believes the partnership with Landon Cassill brings further visibility to the crypto ecosystem.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt goes all to education, and what we try to do is educate the masses on why cryptocurrency matters, why digital dollars is where we\u2019re going,\u201d Ehrlich explained. \u201cI always tend to ask people as customers or people that are wanting to learn more: When was the last time you actually used real greenback dollars? Most people don\u2019t. They use debit cards, and everything is electronic anyway. So, this is the next phase of electronic currency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cassill, a 31-year-old Iowan, has ranked 12th two times, once at Darlington Raceway in May and Daytona Road Course last February. Cassill has also been racing for a very long time since he was a little boy. At 16, Cassill obtained the record for the youngest winner in ASALMS history back in 2006. Ehrlich concluded by noting that this aims to go \u201cto the moon\u201d in terms of what they can do for \u201ceducation and growth of both brands.\u201d<\/p>\n
