Minneapolis, Minnesota – October 4, 2005 – Exact Software™, a leading provider of solutions that connect the people, processes and knowledge essential to an organization, today announced its Exact JobBOSS® division has become an official product sponsor of Joe Gibbs Racing.
Exact JobBOSS is the most widely used shop management software for the metalworking industry with bar-code data collection, performance analysis, and contact management. Nearly 4,000 shops and more than 21,000 users rely on JobBOSS for quoting, scheduling, costing, purchasing, inventory, shipping, and quality control.
"Our relationship with Joe Gibbs Racing, in America's fastest growing sport, is a great fit for the Exact JobBOSS brand,” said Steve Massey, general manager, Exact JobBOSS. "Success on the track depends on reliability, precision, teamwork and speed, and we deliver those values to our job shop customers every day."
This sponsorship with one of the leading teams helps Exact JobBOSS gain exposure in a large job shop market that services the racing industry. It’s also a strong extension of the JobBOSS commitment to job shops that are small to medium-sized make-to-order, engineer-to-order, contract, and mixed-mode manufacturers.
"Exact JobBOSS is one of the most admired and recognizable job shop software companies in North America, and we’re happy to be associated with such a respected addition to the team," said Mark Bringle, technology manager of Joe Gibbs Racing. “By providing real-time access to tracking, scheduling and costing information, JobBOSS will help our shop, and our teams, stay in the winner’s circle."
About Joe Gibbs Racing
Joe Gibbs is the owner of Joe Gibbs Racing, one of the most successful teams in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series, having produced championships for Bobby Labonte in 2000 and Tony Stewart in 2002. In addition to his ownership duties at JGR, Gibbs also serves as Head Coach of the Washington Redskins in the National Football League. Gibbs, who won three Super Bowls during his first stint as Redskins coach from 1981-1992, formed JGR in July 1991 with business partner Don Meredith after the two met in April of that year, with Rick Hendrick of Hendrick Motorsports, and seven-time series champion Richard Petty to discuss forming a NASCAR team.
The team was formed in part to give Gibbs an opportunity to spend more time with his sons, J.D. and Coy. J.D. has served as president of JGR since Oct. 1997, while Coy competed as a driver for the team in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series from 2000-2002 and the NASCAR Busch Series in 2003. Coy, who played football at Stanford University, now works on the coaching staff with his father in Washington.
Under Joe Gibbs’ ownership, JGR has won two series titles, the 1993 Daytona 500 with Dale Jarrett, the 2000 Brickyard 400 with Labonte, 2005 Brockyear 400 with Stewart and more than 40 NEXTEL CUP races. Interstate Batteries has been the primary sponsor for the No. 18 car since the team’s first race in 1992 and the relationship is one of the longest running team sponsorships in NEXTEL Cup Series racing. Home Depot came on board as a primary sponsor in 1999 when the team expanded to a two-car effort with Tony Stewart and, in 2005, FedEx Corp. is a primary sponsor for a third JGR-car.
