United Fiber & Data adds sponsorship to Andretti Rallycross team
"United Fiber & Data is thrilled to announce our entry into Global Rallycross with our sponsorship of the No. 77 7UP Volkswagen," said United Fiber & Data director and founder Bill Hynes. "We saw Global Rallycross as a natural fit for our company and our culture. It's a revolutionary racing platform where challenge, high performance, speed and talent converge to bring you something you haven't seen before."
Founded by three members of the multi-platinum rock band LIVE and their Think Loud Development company, UFD offers a complete suite of all-fiber networking and broadband solutions. Based in York, Penn., UFD will feature a 400-mile fiber optic line running between New York and Virginia and will operate out of our different data centers across Pennsylvania (Allentown, Lancaster, Reading and York).
"This partnership further solidified UFD's presence in the motorsport community, and we are proud to expand our relationship with Andretti Autosport," commented Hynes. "Our interaction with their team and hospitality program has been world-class. From our clients, to our employees, to our potential clients and guests – Michael Andretti and his team all lend to an experience that is unparalleled."

As a part of its Americas debut, the Top Gear Festival will feature an impressive line-up of cars and driving talent. NBC will air the season opener race on Saturday, May 24 at 1 p.m. EST.
