(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 19, 2011 ) Los Angeles, CA -- TapouT is easily the largest sponsor in the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) arena and they were the first MMA leader to step into the driver's seat of NASCAR. ProFightNetwork (PFN) is the top ranked MMA social site and top MMA forum, and they are the second MMA leader to join the NASCAR sport. Will the UFC be next?

On Monday April 18 2011, PFN via their CEO Chris Greenman, announced it was branching out from its core audience with a multi-year partnership with racing team Brian Rose Motorsports. IJR news contacted Greenman who told us this "None of my business ventures with Chuck Liddell or Randy Couture really ventured outside of MMA like this, but seeing how the fans love both sports, I think they will be the real winners here. TapouT seems to be a lot like the UFC and make really remarkable business decisions, I would be an idiot not to follow their lead."

"Brian Rose Motorsports was very receptive of our involvement, we have a relatively small part of the car, there is room for other sponsors, heck I would be ok with the UFC being on the hood if Lawton Insurance Services would give it up. I have been a NASCAR fan for years and jumped at the opportunity to have a spot on the car with Brian Rose being the driver."

PFN was onsite at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama to see their logo on both sides of Brian Rose Motorsports number 19 car, and it proved to be a rewarding experience according to Greenman. He said, "Being down in the pits and connecting with all the people involved was a unforgettable experience, seeing Brian Rose overcome 12 drivers during the last four laps was as exciting as some of the best UFC fights I have ever been on hand to witness. These guys are dangerous, you won't catch me driving 180 MPH swerving in and out of traffic playing bumper cars, no freaking way, I will take getting hit or kicked any day."

PFN's CEO revealed his biggest highlight for the NASCAR event besides the race was seeing the wife of Brian Rose wearing a ProFightNetwork sweatshirt in the pits during the race and not seeing UFC representation anywhere. Greenman said it was probably the only time he would beat the UFC to the punch on anything.

Rose finished 7th place at this year's Talladega Superspeedway 3 Amigos 250 race after qualifying for 19th starting position. IJR witnessed a remarkable ending to the 94 lap NASCAR series race. The question is still out, when will the UFC officially announce its arrival in the NASCAR sport?
