Zynga Poker to serve as primary sponsor for DiBenedetto at Phoenix

When Matt DiBenedetto put out a video on Twitter and Facebook Tuesday morning, he never could've imagined the response he got. DiBenedetto went to social media asking for networking help, hoping to get introduced to the right person who might be able to put a deal together for a sponsor for his No.32 Ford for this weekend. What he instead found was an outpouring of support from his NASCAR family when Denny Hamlin graciously offered $5,000 out of his own pocket and retweeted the post to his followers.

Hamlin's support was quickly followed by Kevin Harvick who asked to run KHI Management on the Go Fas Racing Ford and Darrell Waltrip who offered to put the Waltrip Brothers Golf Charity Championship as a sponsor as well.
