Item 7.01            Regulation FD Disclosure.

In connection with the transaction described above, DealerTrack anticipates disclosing to investors the information set forth below, which has not been previously disclosed:
 
eCarList had unaudited 2010 GAAP revenue of approximately $7,000,000, while operating at a slight loss.
 
The 2012 contingent payment conditions reflect a 2011 revenue target for the eCarList business that is greater than two times eCarList’s 2010 revenue. The 2013 contingent payment conditions are based on the combined Inventory Solutions business and reflect similar continued revenue growth for the eCarList business, as well as accelerated growth of our existing inventory business.
 
eCarList has approximately 70 employees. DealerTrack expects the integration of the eCarList business into DealerTrack’s existing operations to cost several million dollars and be substantially completed 12 months from the closing of the Transaction.
 
The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of DealerTrack Holdings, Inc. under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

Item 8.01            Other Information.
 
On May 25, 2011, DealerTrack Holdings, Inc. issued a press release relating to the Transaction.  A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
