Who Does What: Home Improvement Retailers IEG SPONSORSHIP REPORT October 3, 2011 800/834-4850 | www.IEGSR.com WHO DOES WHAT Who Does What: Home Improvement Retailers Home improvement chains continue to use sponsorship as a key element of their marketing mix; NASCAR remains the primary battleground. Like many other categories, home improvement retailers have had their ups and downs over the past few years. But while The Home Depot, Inc. and Lowe’s Cos have dropped a handful of high-profile ties in the recent past, they and other DIY chains continue to use sponsorship as a key element in their marketing mix. As in years past, motorsports and soccer remain high on their priority list. Among new deals, Lowe’s in March kicked off a multiyear title Home Improvement Retailer Sponsorships of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at the Las Vegas Motor By Number Of Deals Speedway on behalf of its Kobalt tool line. The company also Government 2% is negotiating a separate tie with track owner Int’l Speedway Associations 2% Corp. that would replace Home Depot beginning with the 2012 Entertainment 8% season, sources said. Festivals 9% In the soccer space, Home Depot this year came on board as the official home improvement sponsor of the CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament. Sports 61% Causes 18% Home improvement retailers largely use sponsorship to accomplish three primary marketing objectives: Gain platforms for retail promotions; reach niche audiences and demonstrate corporate citizenship. © 2011, IEG, LLC.

Oak Brook, IL 60523 John Surane, vice president, merchandising, advertising & marketing 630/990-6600 Sponsorship/Activation Strategy: The country’s largest hardware cooperative focuses on its long-running partnership with Children’s Miracle Network, around which stores raise money for local CMN hospitals.

Home Depot is reportedly mulling a possible replacement for Logano and may opt out of its Int’l Speedway Corp. partnership after the 2011 season, sources said.

  • Sioux Chief Showdown Preview: Sioux Chief Powerpex 200 at Memphis Int’L Raceway
    Sioux Chief Showdown Preview: Sioux Chief PowerPEX 200 at Memphis Int’l Raceway Over six months after the Sioux Chief Showdown kicked off with the debut of the ARCA Menards Series at Phoenix Raceway, the ten‐race chase is set to conclude at Memphis International Raceway with the Sioux Chief PowerPEX 200. The inaugural champion under the Showdown banner will be crowned when the checkered flag waves on Saturday evening, closing out the first AMS race at Memphis since 2001. Formerly known as the Sioux Chief Short Track Challenge, an expanded partnership with Sioux Chief will increase the event purse and point fund significantly, as well as add prestige and a variety of venues to the in‐season championship. New guidelines and common rule packages are aimed at drawing AMSE and AMSW teams and drivers as well, having previously been run as distinct separate entities from the ARCA Menards Series. Christian Eckes, now a challenger for rookie of the year honors in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series, won both the Sioux Chief Short Track Challenge and the ARCA Menards Series overall championship in 2019, clinching both titles in the final race of each championship. In the penultimate Sioux Chief Showdown race at Bristol, Sam Mayer took his fifth ARCA Menards Series win of 2020 and his fourth in a Showdown event just hours after winning his first‐ever NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series race. Mayer started the Showdown in a deep hole when his car overheated in the first race at Phoenix, leaving him 20th at the finish with a lot of ground to make up over the next nine races.

  • Sioux Chief Showdown Preview: Bush's Beans 200 at Bristol Motor
    Sioux Chief Showdown Preview: Bush’s Beans 200 at Bristol Motor Speedway The penultimate race on the 2020 Sioux Chief Showdown calendar has arrived as the ARCA Menards Series returns to Bristol for the first time in over 50 years. The Bush’s Beans 200 has been a fixture on the schedule of what is now known as the ARCA Menards Series East in recent years, and the race will count for points towards both series’ championships. The tight race at the top of the Showdown standings means that the battle for the prestigious in-season championship will likely go down to the wire in next week’s Showdown finale, the Sioux Chief PowerPex 200 at Memphis International Raceway. The Sioux Chief Showdown will bring together the best of the best from the ARCA Menards Series, the ARCA Menards Series East and ARCA Menards Series West (formerly known as the NASCAR K&N Pro Series). These ten events offer drivers who may not be able or eligible to run the full 20-race ARCA Menards Series schedule the opportunity to run for a title. Combined with the overall ARCA Menards Series crown as well as the ARCA Menards East and ARCA Menards West championships, drivers will have four unique titles to compete for in 2020. Formerly known as the Sioux Chief Short Track Challenge, an expanded partnership with Sioux Chief will increase the event purse and point fund significantly, as well as add prestige and a variety of venues to the in-season championship. New guidelines and common rule packages are aimed at drawing in teams and drivers from both the ARCA East and ARCA West series as well, which were previously run as distinct separate entities from the ARCA Menards Series.

    HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!!! First open testing/practice in 59 days! Only 72 more days until opening night!! IN THIS EDITION KYLE BUSCH TO RACE AT THE KLASH ENGINE OF THE WEEK SUPER LATE MODEL TOURING SERIES HOWE WINS STATE PROMOTER AWARD SERVING UP JUSTICE – CIRCUIT COURT STYLE Kyle Busch (2014) Kalamazoo Speedway KYLE BUSCH TO RACE AT THE KLASH We are reminded of the unanticipated start to the shotgun-start footrace for Super Shoe campsites. A play was developed: Ready, Set and the firing off of a shotgun to signify Go. You know, just like the Olympics. Ready went as orchestrated. Set was looking good. Then someone (yes we know they wore a staff T-shirt) honked the horn in the pace car to signify all was set and the shotgun should fire to start the race. Of course everyone started racing at the honk and rifle firing was nothing more than something to rattle the neighbors. Best laid plans! So fast forward and here we are again. Kalamazoo Klash XXV sponsor, West Michigan Toyota Dealers, was in place. Kyle Busch was confirmed and already working with Senneker Performance. Few people knew this was in the works to prevent leaks until we could make the big announcement. And then this past weekend, Kyle enthusiastically announced he was driving in the Klash. And then the calls started to Gary Howe, then write-ups started appearing in print, on websites, on Facebook. What can we say? We may be bringing up the rear in making the announcement but Superstar Kyle Busch will be returning to Kalamazoo Speedway for Kalamazoo Klash XXV on Wednesday, August 9.
