ATLANTA – AutoTrader.com and Dent Wizard, paintless dent-removal company, have partnered to sponsor the racecar of Olympic Gold and Silver medalist Marty Nothstein. Nothstein is one of the most recognized cyclists and Olympians in the world, and has recently taken his winning record to the world of drag racing.

Nothstein’s 2005 Pontiac Firebird is owned by Brad McWilliams, a National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) veteran car owner. The car will race in the NHRA POWERade and Lucas Oil racing series in the Top Alcohol Funny Car class and will be emblazoned with logos from both AutoTrader.com and Dent Wizard as Nothstein races down the quarter mile.

Nothstein will drive the AutoTrader.com-Dent Wizard funny car in a series of national events throughout the year. Nothstein’s next appearance as part of the NHRA series is at the end of April in Dallas. He’ll race through October 15 in Oklahoma City, Okla.
