We appreciate the great response to our offer. First off we arent only interested in sponsorship or funded drivers. We are considering all drivers it really depends on thier presentation.
If the driver doesnt live in the area we race Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio or even NY. That only presents a hardship for them in terms of travel. We expect them to help with the preparation of the car or pay if they cant
help which only seems fair.
Sure we would love to get a national sponsor wont we all. We are not interested in a learning process with our drivers. We expect to give the drivers equipment to win and expect them to win.
We more importantly expect them to help sell and represent our products at www.biobased.us. I can tell you now to race for us is simple, help sell our products and you can get more sponsorship money than you will ever needed.
We are about to start a program to sell our PLANET GREEN cleanng produts in over 100 nationals chains. This isnt rocket science raising sponsorship money. Its all about networking and creating sales for our diversified products. Agriculture, Home, Bussiness and Industrial Cleaning, Remediation of Soils and Water.
Sponsorship isnt a free ride and its not about winning races for us. Winning is expected and its really about selling products for the us or your sponsor. You do that and you will never need money for racing. If you want to drive in NASCAR just help us cover the $25 million to race.

PS. And we arent just racing Asphalt. We are preparing two ASCS 360 SOD cars one for Jason Blonde and another for a driver to be named later. I was just at the World WOO Finals in Charlotte talking to some drivers about racing on both surfaces.
======================================================
Now a little overview on Biobased USA
BioBased.US – The story behind our cover photoYou may have seen a competitive new team in sprint car races the past two seasons: They're running high-end sprint cars with the BioBased.US logo.
The sponsoring firm, BioBased USA , has experienced what's fair to call "explosive" growth the past three years, marketing an environmentally friendly liquid that looks like rich maple syrup and has several valuable benefits.
In one formulation trademarked SoySoap Surfactant, it promotes plant growth. Its use has spread nationwide since 2007.
Another variation is a safe, highly effective cleanser for many uses in home and industry. And yet another combination is catching on fast in equine healing and cleansing; that product line is called "Equimend."
Today it's rare for a lone entrepreneur to grow a company from annual sales of a few thousand dollars to several million in less than four years. But company founder Don Wilshe says that the news of SoySoap's performance "went viral" among farmers in the Carolinas starting in 2007. Now it's rippling across the U.S. and into Asian countries, where rice treated with SoySoap shows 30% to 40% higher yields.
Most of the production for the U.S. comes from a BioBased USA manufacturing site in East Bend, NC. This location also houses a maintenance shop for part of the Wilshe's growing lineup of sprint cars. Thus, one place houses two of Wilshe's passions: Helping build a healthier, cleaner planet, and enjoying the thrill of high-speed sprint racing.
One fact that makes Wilshe's formulations unique is that they are entirely built from ingredients which are on the Food and Drug Administration's list of approved foods and food additives. These products contain no petroleum-based products. Wilshe says: "It's just food, used to raise more food."
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has approved a specific formulation of SoySoap for groundwater remediation of contaminated sites such as old filling stations and factories.
A new array of BioBased cleaning products is being introduced in Canada under the "Planet Green" label. These BioBased cleaning products are rapidly becoming favored in restaurants and food processing facilities because of their intense cleansing effect and non-toxic nature. For example, a waitress can quickly wipe a glass-top restaurant table sparkling clean with a BioBased cleanser which is odor-free and thus protects the dining ambiance.
What makes this possible is a proprietary blending process of secret ingredients which create a "nano-sized" micelle – less than a billionth of a meter – which has the effect of increasing the solubility of water while reducing its surface tension.
Result: A tiny amount of SoySoap helps water hold more dissolved solids within plants. New research data from plant tissue tests this summer show that foliar fertilizers sprayed on crops in a solution containing SoySoap are typically more than twice as effective at entering and moving through the plant. In these tests, about five ounces per acre of SoySoap was used at a cost to the farmer of about $6 per acre. When combined with a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer, the increased value of corn production often hit $50 per acre.
This fall, farmers are reporting $500 per acre more income from cotton sprayed with SoySoap. Tobacco has shown production increases worth $1,500 per acre. In the Southeast, when dry weather often stresses crops like soybeans, massive roots encouraged by SoySoap typically mean 5 to 15 bu. more than unsprayed soybeans.
In wheat-raising country of the American Northwest this season, growers found that SoySoap-treated wheat consistently had higher protein content – even in a stressful year with excess moisture.
As you'd expect, Don Wilshe's wife, SueEllen, uses a formulation of SoySoap in the kitchen and elsewhere around the house. "I know where to get a fresh supply," she says.
SueEllen is the formal owner of the BioBased sprint car fleet, and she likes everything to sparkle. So she makes sure the pit crews use SoySoap for cleanup during and after the races.
