Media Information Speed™ Presents Three-Time F1 Champ Vettel with Second Mario Andretti Trophy MEDIA INFORMATION FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SPEED™ PRESENTS THREE-TIME F1 CHAMP VETTEL WITH SECOND MARIO ANDRETTI TROPHY NASCAR CHAMP KESELOWSKI EARNS ‘SPOTY’ RUNNER-UP HONOR, FOLLOWED BY LARSON, HUNTER-REAY AND LOEB ZANARDI SALUTED WITH DAN GURNEY SPIRIT OF RACING AWARD Motor sports icon Mario Andretti presented his namesake trophy to 2012 Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel as this year’s SPEED Performer of the Year on the Sunday night edition of SPEED Center . “You are going up against the best of the best for this award,” said Andretti, the only driver to ever win the Indianapolis 500, the Daytona 500 and the Formula One World Championship. “We’re considering every major discipline in motor sports. That’s what you are up against … that’s the grandeur of this award.” Vettel, who captured his third consecutive Formula One title in dramatic fashion to become the youngest triple champion in series history, came out atop five SPEED Performer of the Year finalists, including NASCAR champion Brad Keselowski, versatile youngster Kyle Larson, IndyCar champ Ryan Hunter-Reay and WRC legend Sebastien Loeb. Ten of this year’s 16 nominees earned at least one first-place vote in the balloting. "It’s unbelievable … I´m very proud to get the trophy of one of the best racers of all time - - Mario Andretti,” said Vettel, who also took home the Andretti trophy in 2010. “It does mean a lot to me and I really appreciate it." Andretti headlines a 22-member SPOTY voting panel that includes racers Dan Gurney, Darrell Waltrip, Don Prudhomme, Scott Russell, Tommy Kendall and Dorsey Schroeder. In addition, some of the most recognizable names in motor sports television -- Dave Despain, Bob Varsha, Leigh Diffey and Ralph Sheheen -- are joined by motor sports journalists Robin Miller, Tom Jensen and Marshall Pruett on the panel. “(Vettel) had an unbelievable season,” Andretti said on SPEED Center. “When you look at the overall performance – qualifying, race wins and the start of the season when things were not really going their way … all of a sudden, the way he just came back and forced his way to the very top was exemplary of a real champion. He could not be denied.” The award, now in its seventh season, is presented annually by SPEED to the racer who puts a premium on winning races, shines on motor sports’ biggest stages and does it all with a measure of sportsmanship and class. The Mario Andretti Trophy, a true work of art created by bronze sculptor Elie Hazak, stands 38 inches tall and weighs 95 pounds. It features eight cars, including six of the most important in Mario’s rise to superstardom, as well as an array of artistic symbolism that captures the essence of the trophy’s namesake. Former SPOTY winners and runners-up: • 2012 – Sebastian Vettel, F1; Brad Keselowski, NASCAR 2011 – Tony Stewart, NASCAR; Casey Stoner, MotoGP 2010 – Sebastian Vettel, F1; Jimmie Johnson, NASCAR 2009 – Tony Schumacher, NHRA; Jimmie Johnson, NASCAR 2008 – Jimmie Johnson, NASCAR; Tony Schumacher, NHRA 2007 – Jimmie Johnson, NASCAR; Donny Schatz, WoO 2006 – Jimmie Johnson, NASCAR; Nicky Hayden, MotoGP Racer Alex Zanardi, who continues to personify the heart of a racer despite an accident that robbed the Italian of both his legs in 2001, was recognized on SPEED Center with the Dan Gurney Spirit of Racing award for his success last year as a paracyclist.

Rotthoff 1 Assistant Professor Department of Economics and Legal Studies Seton Hall University Craig A. Depken, II Associate Professor Department of Economics University of North Carolina – Charlotte Peter A. Groothuis Professor Department of Economics Appalachian State University ABSTRACT: Corporate sponsorship plays an important role in the entertainment business. The question becomes: what influences the value of a sponsorship contract? Empirical analysis of this question is relatively limited because of a lack of complete data on contract values. This is especially true in NASCAR where sponsorship values are generally not released to the public. We analyze a proportional proxy for driver sponsorship value: the value of time on camera. We find that the value of time on camera is influenced by driver performance but also by their experience and, in the case of two drivers, their family name-brand capital. The results confirm that sponsorship value in NASCAR is not only determined by what a driver has done most recently but, to some extent, what their fathers had done before them.

  • Racing Heroes and Grieving Widows: a Study of the Representation of Death in Motorsport by Jean-Simon Demers
    Department of communication Racing heroes and grieving widows: A study of the representation of death in motorsport By Jean-Simon Demers Thesis submitted to the Graduate studies faculty for the Communication master’s program Master of Arts Supervisor: Mark Lowes University of Ottawa Ottawa, Ontario 2018-09-23 © Jean-Simon Demers, Ottawa, Canada, 2018 Abstract Gilles Villeneuve, Ayrton Senna, Greg Moore, Dale Earnhardt. Only four of a number of high- profile race car drivers to have lost their lives taking part in events at the highest levels of motorsport. The aim of the present study is to analyze the coverage of death in high-level motorsport in the printed sports news of La Presse and The Toronto Star in Canada for the 1982 to 2017 period inclusively. Mobilizing the existing literature on risk-taking, namely Lyng’s concept of edgework, as well as Hall’s work on representation, a thematic analysis of a sample of sports news articles (N=488) was conducted. Three main themes emerged from the analysis. The discussion surrounding motorsport fatalities revolved around the individual (the deceased driver), the social aspect of the death (primarily the family members left behind), and journalistic practices (how to cover death). In conclusion, the coverage of death in motorsport was found to be an instance where the athlete is heroized and sometimes revered even decades after their death. In this aspect, the figure of Gilles Villeneuve remains pivotal to motorsport discussions in Canada, even to this day. It also was found that sports journalists, through their coverage of deadly accidents, enact the traditional roles of the journalist in offering social criticism of their subject matter to their readers, and that motorsport drivers enact a highly specific type of masculinity when practicing their sport.

    Influences on Sponsorship Deals in NASCAR: Indirect Evidence from Time on Camera by Kurt W. Rotthoff1 Assistant Professor Department of Economics and Legal Studies Seton Hall University Craig A. Depken, II Professor Department of Economics University of North Carolina – Charlotte Peter A. Groothuis Professor Department of Economics Appalachian State University ABSTRACT: When corporate sponsors want to maximize their exposure, they often focus sponsorship dollars on events, teams, and athletes that will prove to be reliable, respectable, and, most important, repetitive advertising outlets. Analyzing the factors that increase a broadcaster’s propensity to display a sponsor during television broadcasts is often hard to measure. Using a unique data set describing NASCAR broadcasts, we indirectly analyze what influences the value of a sponsorship contract through a proxy for driver sponsorship value: the value of time on camera. We find that the value of time on camera is influenced by driver performance and their celebrity status, as measured by driver experience and inherited brand-name capital. Although the values of individual sponsorship contracts are generally not reported, the evidence herein suggests that driver performance and status likely influence the value of NASCAR sponsorship contracts.
