“Front Row has a good grasp for how to leverage its status as a challenger brand. Let’s be honest, challenger brands outnumber market leaders by a factor of ten. As a challenger brand, they know that by aligning themselves with other challenger brands they can help one another. Front Row and its business development team have just begun their marketing journey. Time will tell if they can take their brand to the front of the pack. But that’s a question many of us face about the success of our organizations. I’m cheering for the CMO who acts boldly with speed and creativity. Fortune, and the market, will favor them.” -Phil Johnson, Forbes

Overview of NASCAR Team Assets Sponsorship Opportunities A NASCAR team sponsorship is much more than just a logo on the hood of a car— it opens your brand up to a number of opportunities

that connect with NASCAR fans and mainstream consumers alike.

Advertising and Promotions For many companies, NASCAR team sponsorship is the cornerstone of their overall marketing program. Promotions, sweepstakes and targeted communications give team sponsors the flexibility to attract both NASCAR fans and non-fans.

Alternate Paint Schemes Primary sponsors are able to easily modify their car’s paint scheme to communicate promotions, sweepstakes, line extensions, new product launches and other initiatives.

Special Paint Schemes Whether it’s for a single event or several, special paint schemes elevate associate team sponsors to primary status, providing exposure and brand recognition for brands with limited marketing budgets or short-term marketing programs.

Show Cars On display at charity events, retail locations and other points of consumer contact, show cars are immediate attention-getters that draw interest to your brand from NASCAR fans and non-fans alike.

Licensing NASCAR licensed products provide additional exposure opportunities for team sponsors, placing their brands in categories like die-cast cars, apparel and many others.

Overview of NASCAR Team Assets (Continued) Apparel NASCAR licensed apparel not only gives fans the opportunity to show support for their favorite NASCAR drivers and teams, but also provides incremental exposure for those teams’ sponsor brands. That exposure extends the fan-sponsor relationship beyond race day and into fans’ everyday lives, further strengthening brand recognition and loyalty as fans make their daily purchase decisions.

Business-to-Business Opportunities When companies become team sponsors, it opens the door to a number of ROI-generating opportunities. Many companies use their team sponsorship as a way to build relationships with customers, suppliers, distributors, retailers and other key partners.

Team Building NASCAR provides a unique way for companies to rally their employees around their sponsorship, creating opportunities for team building and morale-enhancing activities as employees watch their team compete and win on the track.

Local In-Market Programs When a NASCAR event comes to a market, it creates numerous opportunities for team sponsors to reach local consumers and leverage the excitement of the event.

Driver Appearances NASCAR drivers are powerful spokespeople for their team sponsors. Their accessibility to consumers and strong relationships with fans make NASCAR drivers among the most effective brand ambassadors in sports.

Driver Endorsements Consumers recognize NASCAR drivers and identify them with their sponsors’ brands. Over their careers, NASCAR drivers deliver massive value in exposure and sales, elevating the relationship between their sponsors’ brands and their fans.
