Landon Cassill has signed with Kaulig Racing’s 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series program with Voyager Digital Ltd. as his primary sponsor on the No. 10 Chevrolet. Cassill and the cryptocurrency platform extended their history-making partnership, which began last season, to an additional two years.
The announcement came Thursday in a Kaulig Racing news release.
“Continuing my partnership with Voyager Digital and driving for Kaulig Racing is an incredible opportunity for me,” Cassill said. “I have a world-class partner in Voyager and the best support team in the business with Kaulig Racing. I am excited to not only have a shot to win races, but to also bring awareness to crypto and help educate people in a space that I’ve been personally invested in for a number of years.”

Cassill will be paid fully in a portfolio of cryptocurrencies that includes Bitcoin, Voyager Token, USD Coin, StormX and Avalanche.
Also as part of the deal, StormX (a crypto cash-back platform) and Usio Inc. (a payment solutions provider) will be featured on the No. 10 Chevy during select 2022 races. The car will also sport the phrase “Crypto for All,” as Cassill and Voyager try to raise awareness and drive cryptocurrency adoption.
“We built a historic partnership with Landon, as the first NASCAR driver to be paid in crypto, and continuing this journey with him is an incredible ride for Voyager,” said Steve Ehrlich, CEO and cofounder of Voyager. “We’re excited about this collaboration with Kaulig Racing and can’t wait to see what is next in Landon’s promising career.”
Cassill competed in 32 of 33 NASCAR Xfinity Series events for JD Motorsports last year, with Voyager as his primary sponsor in 18 of the races he qualified for. He averaged a 22.8 finish in the No. 4 Chevrolet. His best result was 12th, and it happened three times — Daytona Road Course, Darlington Raceway-1 and Martinsville Speedway-2.

Cassill also has made 326 career starts in the NASCAR Cup Series since 2010, including two last year, and eight career starts in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series since 2008.
