“It’s easy to see that UMP DIRTcar Racing is the heart of Grassroots racing and MyRaceLife.com aims to provide those Grassroots fans and competitors a place on the Internet to connect and share thoughts, pictures and videos,” said Thomas N. Carter, CEO of 4D Media. “MyRaceLife.com is Built By Racers and Driven By Fans(TM), just like DIRTcar Racing, which makes our partnership a perfect fit.”
