Edwards' No. 99 to sport one-of-a-kind scheme

When Carl Edwards competes in the LifeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway on July 12, he'll have some special passengers along for the ride. For this race only, Office Depotwill showcase a one-of-a-kind "Taking Care of Business" paint scheme featuring the individual signatures of close to 8,000 Office Depot associates from around the world.

"I'm excited to have so many Office Depot associates represented on the race car in such a creative and personal way," said Edwards, who recorded his best career Cup Series result at Chicagoland Speedway last July when he finished third. "The 'Taking Care of Business' paint scheme is special and gives Office Depot associates everywhere an opportunity to be part of the race action. Hopefully I can thank them for all of their support with a win and showcase the car in Victory Lane."

The paint scheme features the signatures of associates from Office Depot sales offices, retail stores, distribution centers, crossdocks, corporate and administrative offices in Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Korea, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Romania, Spain, Slovakia, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.

In conjunction with the special paint scheme, Office Depot also hosted a special sweepstakes in North America in which ten lucky associates won a VIP trip to attend the race at Chicagoland Speedway. Each winning associate receives two race tickets and a tour of the garages.

"This special paint scheme is a terrific way to recognize the hard work and dedication of Office Depot associates who are taking care of business for our customers every single day in locations all around the world," said Chuck Rubin, President of North American Retail for Office Depot.
