NASCAR's Petty Enterprises to Use DP Technology ESPRIT
 CAMARILLO,
CA, July 29, 2008 - DP Technology, a leader in the industry of
computer-aided-manufacturing (CAM) and maker of ESPRIT CAM software, has
become an official sponsor and technology partner of Petty Enterprises, a
NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) racing team based in
North Carolina.

Technology continues to lead the pack on the racetrack with the sponsorship
of two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racing teams, namely the No. 43
Cheerios/Betty Crocker Dodge and the No. 45 Marathon/Wells Fargo/PVA Dodge,
owned and operated by Petty Enterprises. These two NASCAR teams are the
eighth and ninth sponsored by DP Technology.
“They came to us and wanted our software because they figured out it was
the best software out there,” said Bill Haas, vice president of special
projects for DP Technology.
Having become unsatisfied with its previous CAM software due to “lack of
improvements and growth versatility,” Petty Enterprises was in the process
of investigating various new CAM software packages when engineers from the
company visited an ESPRIT booth at a machining industry trade show in North
Carolina, according to Bobby Turner, design engineer for Petty Enterprises.
“While investigating, we also learned that an engineer in the office had
used ESPRIT at a machine shop he worked at prior to Petty Enterprises,”
Turner said.
Petty Enterprises will use ESPRIT to write programming code for its HAAS
V4 CNC machine, which is used to make several different kinds of parts for
its racecars - ranging from the chassis and suspension to the body. “Pretty
much everything except engine components,” Turner said.
Petty Enterprises is currently in the process of implementing ESPRIT
software which, when fully implemented, will improve the production of parts
for the racing teams’ vehicles. “It should save us some time and money,
which in turn will allow us to spend more time improving parts and spending
money in other important areas,” Turner said.
The new partners have opted to join forces through 2010.
“We wanted to find software that would be easy to use, meet our current
and future CNC needs, and have a support staff that could help us with
training or any other technical assistance,” Derrick Finley, technical
director for Petty Enterprises, said. “Out of the different CAM packages we
investigated, we found ESPRIT to be the software that best fit these needs.
The support and training we have had thus far has been phenomenal, and the
people at ESPRIT have been a great pleasure to work with.”
The Web sites of both DP Technology and Petty Enterprises will be linked
so that visitors to each site will be able to access the partner site.
