Item 1.01            Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 15, 2012, DealerTrack, Inc. (“Buyer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of DealerTrack Holdings, Inc. (”DealerTrack”), the Wayne and Naomi Harris Trust of 2001, dated December 11, 2001 (“Seller”), 1st Auto Transport Directory, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“1^st Auto”), and, solely with respect to Section 7.8 and Section 11.4 of the Purchase Agreement, Wayne Harris and Naomi Harris, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”).  The Purchase Agreement provides for the purchase by Buyer of all issued and outstanding shares (the “Shares”) of capital stock of 1^st Auto from Seller (the “Transaction”).  The consideration to be received by Seller in connection with the Transaction consists of $74.0 million in cash, minus certain seller transaction expenses, change in control payments and outstanding indebtedness of 1^st Auto, and subject to a working capital adjustment.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by Seller, 1^st Auto and Buyer, including covenants regarding operation of the business of 1^st Auto prior to the closing.  The closing of the Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.

The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

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:

DealerTrack is planning to utilize a 338(h)(10) election for tax purposes in connection with the Transaction with anticipated future tax savings over several years with a present value of approximately $12.0 million.

For the six month ended June 30, 2012 1^st Auto’s unaudited revenue was approximately $5.0 million. Substantially all the revenue is subscription based revenue. Over the same period, unaudited net income and adjusted EBITDA was approximately $2.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

1^st Auto’s annual revenue has grown over 20% each of the last two years.

1^st Auto has approximately 30 employees. CentralDispatch.com has over 13,000 subscribers, of which over 4,500 are automotive dealers. DealerTrack expects the integration of 1^st Auto’s business into DealerTrack’s existing operations to cost several million dollars and be substantially completed by the end of 2013. As with prior acquisitions, integration costs will be added back to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income.

DealerTrack will also post on its web site, www.dealertrack.com, the slide furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K which contains additional information regarding 1^st Auto and the Transaction.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.2 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.
