Zynga Poker extends their sponsorship deal with Go Fas Racing’s #32 Ford Fusion driver Matt DiBenedetto until the end of the season and vows to help him win the All-Star Driver Fan Vote.

The closest I came to becoming a racing driver was to paint ‘go-faster’ stripes on the frame of my Budgie and to put lollypop sticks in my spokes. A nasty incident, when I collided with Gary Sutcliffe’s Chopper sending me over my handlebars, and my tooth into the roof of my mouth ended any hopes of being a speed freak.

Since then, I have often wondered why people watch NASCAR and the Grand Prix. For me, it’s no more interesting than watching a bunch of old people in mobility scooters going around in a circle, but then again, I do get paid to watch poker players playing that bird game on their mobile phone in between tossing cards in the muck.

So, maybe the recent decision by Zynga Poker to extend their sponsorship deal with Go Fas Racing’s Matt DiBenedetto is a match made in heaven?
