  • NASCAR Sponsorship: Who Is the Real Winner? an Event Study Proposal
    NASCAR Sponsorship: Who is the Real Winner? An event study proposal A thesis submitted to the Miami University Honors Program in partial fulfillment of the requirements for University Honors with Distinction by Meredith Seurkamp May 2006 Oxford, Ohio ii ABSTRACT NASCAR Sponsorship: Who is the Real Winner? An event study proposal by Meredith Seurkamp This paper investigates the costs and benefits of NASCAR sponsorship. Sports sponsorship is increasing in popularity as marketers attempt to build more personal relationships with their consumers. These sponsorships range from athlete endorsements to the sponsorship of an event or physical venue. These types of sponsorships have a number of costs and benefits, as reviewed in this paper, and the individual firm must use its discretion whether sports sponsorship coincides with its marketing goals. NASCAR, a sport that has experienced a recent boom in popularity, is one of the most lucrative sponsorship venues in professional sports. NASCAR, which began as a single race in 1936, now claims seventy-five million fans and over one hundred FORTUNE 500 companies as sponsors. NASCAR offers a wide variety of sponsorship opportunities, such as driver sponsorship, event sponsorship, track signage, and a number of other options. This paper investigates the fan base at which these marketing messages are directed. Research of NASCAR fans indicates that these fans are typically more brand loyal than the average consumer. NASCAR fans exhibit particular loyalty to NASCAR sponsors that financially support the auto racing sport. The paper further explains who composes the NASCAR fan base and how NASCAR looks to expand into additional markets.

    GREENGREEN && GOLDGOLD REPORT!REPORT! The Official Newsletter of Norfolk State Athletics Summer 2017 Message from the Director of Athletics Dear Spartan Fans and Supporters: The Department of Athletics completed another exciting and rewarding season for the 2016-17 academic year. The student-athletes, coaches and administrators performed extremely well on and off the field of competition. A total of fifty-seven (57) student-athletes graduated during the 2016-17 school year. One hundred seven (107) achieved a 3.0 or higher grade point average for the 2017 spring semester and were named to the Athletics Director’s Honor Roll. In addition, eighty-six (86) student-athletes were named to the MEAC All-Academic Team for the 2016-17 academic year. The football team had the highest total with 17 players followed by baseball with 12. Brian Beard became the first Spartan baseball player to be named to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-America® Division I Baseball Team. He graduated with a 3.8 grade point average. As a result of the overall athletic performances of the men’s sports teams, athletics achieved another significant milestone. The department won its 10th Talmadge Layman Hill Award in the last 13 years as the top men’s sports program in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC).

  • Final Project Paper
    Schneider 1 Gordon College Seek the Truth: How NASCAR and the Media Mishandled the Talladega Noose Investigation Benjamin Schneider Dr. Gardner COM 491 2 December 2020 Schneider 2 Sonja K. Foss’ book Rhetorical Criticism outlines several different methods of application for media criticism. While all of these methods have their own merits to them, Foss acknowledges that the best way to engage in rhetorical criticism, particularly for “seasoned rhetorical critics” (411), is through no single formal method of criticism. This method is called “generative criticism,” where the writer builds a more general explanation of the artifact rather than following a previously developed method of criticism. This project will employ generative criticism to analyze the events that led up to the noose investigation in NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace’s garage stall at Talladega Superspeedway in June 2020, how both mainstream and alternative media covered the story, how almost every single outlet and media member got some part of the story wrong (whether it be entirely through their own negligence or with the help of a hastily released statement by NASCAR the night of the original report), and how the failure to get the story right proved detrimental to NASCAR, the credibility of the media, and, through no fault of his own, the public reputation Wallace himself. On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police while being arrested for allegedly using a counterfeit bill. Video showed officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for several minutes, while Floyd pleaded “I can’t breathe” before succumbing to the brutality (Brooks).

    More than three-quarters of Division I athletes think they will play professionally, but less than 2 percent make it to the pros. RICHIE WILLIAMS JACKMAN, NO.1 JAMIE MCMURRAY/ CHIP GANASSI RACING '05 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP QB FOR APPALACHIAN ST., FORMER CFL QB TURNED NASCAR JACKMAN PLAYING For many of your athletes, the idea of THE PROS competing at the professional level is adopted long AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH TO PROFESSIONAL ATHLETICS before they’re even approached by a university. Most athletes become so consumed with playing their sport, that it is often difficult to keep perspective. Of course, we all welcome passion and commitment, but very few athletes think they will need to engage “plan b”, especially if they experience athletic success. As a Coach or Athletic Director it is somewhat difficult to have discussions about life after athletics. It is important to encourage commitment, but also have a firm grasp on what life might look like post-college. Serious athletes in general are built differently. Their commitment, passion and competitiveness can make professional transitions difficult. But, what if you could offer your graduating student- athletes an opportunity that would allow them to continue on into the world of professional sports? The NASCAR Drive for Diversity Pit Crew Development program understands how athletes are built, and what athletes are capable of when it comes to teamwork, dedication, and focus. In most cases, your athletes have never thought about a career as a NASCAR pit crew member, nor can they name the five most well-known drivers. That’s why our program focuses on education and training, while redirecting the talents that are already present in these individuals.
