LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y - DealerTrack, Inc., a subsidiary of DealerTrack Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRAK), a leading provider of on-demand software and data solutions for the U.S. automotive retail industry, today announced that the number of active financing sources connected to the DealerTrack(R) network has reached 850. "Our achievement of this milestone underscores DealerTrack's commitment to helping dealers succeed in the face of a continued challenging credit environment," said Mark O'Neil, chairman and chief executive officer of DealerTrack.
