Dealers Continue to Rapidly Embrace Dealertrack's Mobile Offerings in the U.S. and Canada

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- At the National Automotive Dealers Association 2013 Convention and Expo (NADA 2013), Dealertrack (NAS: TRAK) will preview the company's latest offerings designed to help dealers mobilize their businesses.
