  • 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.

MILLER DEALERSHIPS JOIN FORCES WITH VF IMAGEWEAR ON NO. 3 CHEVROLET CAMARO DRIVEN BY TY DILLON FOR NASCAR XFINITY SERIES 300 AT KENTUCKY SPEEDWAY (July 6, 2015) SALT LAKE CITY, UT – For the second consecutive year, Alsco, a worldwide leader in the rental of linen, uniforms, healthcare garments, and washroom products, has teamed with VF Imagewear to fuel the No. 3 Chevrolet Camaro driven by Ty Dillon in the XFINITY Series 300 at Kentucky Speedway on July 10. This opportunity is made possible by Richard Childress Racing’s (RCR) partnership with VF Imagewear brand Red Kap. “Like Alsco, RCR is a family-run business. With Richard Childress’ grandson, Ty, driving the No. 3 car, coming on board with a first-class organization like RCR is a no-brainer,” said Jim Divers, Director of Sales and Marketing at Alsco. “Just having our brand connected with this team is a tremendous benefit. Our thanks go out to our great partner, VF Imagewear, for helping put us together.” Ty Dillon finished seventh in last year’s XFINITY Series race at Kentucky Speedway and earned the Sunoco Rookie of the Race award. Ten top-ten finishes so far in 2015 have propelled him to second place in the points standings, making him a strong championship contender in just his second season in the XFINITY Series. “Everyone at RCR involved with our XFINITY Series program really values our partnership with VF Imagewear because of the superior product it provides for our race team,” Dillon said.
