Nascar star Carl Edwards will be sponsored by online vehicle auction site Copart during his 2010 Nationwide Series campaign.

The company has struck a deal with Edwards' Roush Fenway Racing team to sponsor his #60 car for 16 races of Nasacr's secondary series as primary sponsor and as an associate sponsor for the remainder of the races.

Edwards described himself as "excited" about the deal, adding: "It will be fun to help them grow their business and make people aware of how many cars they sell through their online auctions.

Copart will first appear as a primary sponsor at February's Auto Club Speedway race.
