Well, hey there, honey. Let me tell you about these NASCAR sponsor folks. It’s a big deal, you see? Big, big deal. Lots of money flyin’ around. More money than I’ve ever seen, that’s for sure.
These NASCAR drivers, they got all them fancy cars, right? But them cars, they ain’t cheap. Nope. And they gotta go fast, faster than a chicken with its head cut off. So, they need these sponsors to help ’em out. Sponsors give them money, you know?
Who Gives Money to NASCAR?
These sponsors, they’re like the sugar daddies of the racing world. They pay for the cars, the gas, the tires, all that stuff. Then the drivers, they put the sponsors’ names all over their cars and clothes. That’s how you know you got a sponsor, when you got your name on something. They pay big money to be on the car.
- Sunoco, they sell the gas.
- That company, they’re big, like a giant in this game.
- They give gas to all them NASCAR folks, every single one of them. Xfinity, Truck Series, all of them get Sunoco gas.
- Goodyear, they’re the tire people, they make them tires go round and round.
Why Do They Sponsor NASCAR?
It’s all ’bout gettin’ their name out there. Like, if you see a car zoomin’ by with a big ol’ “Sunoco” on it, you gonna remember that name, right? They are the official fuel of NASCAR, after all. That’s what these sponsor folks want. They want you to remember their name and buy their stuff. Smart, huh? Well, for them rich folks, I guess it is.
They say there’s like, 53 of these sponsor fellas. 53! Can you believe it? That’s a whole lot of folks tryin’ to get their name on them cars. I saw it somewhere, NASCAR has 53 official partners. Sounds about right, there are always so many stickers on those cars.
Some of these sponsors, they just put their name on the car. Others, they do more. Like that Sunoco, they’re the “official fuel” of NASCAR. That means all them cars, they gotta use Sunoco gas. It’s like a rule, I reckon. They put it in the Cup Series, the Xfinity, and the Truck Series, all of them!
How Much Does It Cost?
Oh, honey, you wouldn’t believe how much money these folks spend. It’s a fortune! Costs more than my whole house, I bet. They spend that money to put the name on the car, just for one race. They got money to burn, I suppose.
They say it costs like, hundreds of thousands, just to be a NASCAR sponsor for one race. For one! Imagine that. And that’s just for a little ol’ name on the car. If you wanna be a big-time sponsor, you gotta pay even more. It’s crazy, I tell ya. That’s like more money in one day than I’d see in my whole life. It’s nuts!
More and More Sponsors
And they keep comin’, too. Every year, there’s more and more of these racing sponsors wantin’ to get in on the action. It’s like a gold rush, but with cars instead of gold. Every year they announce new sponsors. Those drivers, they’re set for life, I tell ya. They’re lucky to have all them sponsors payin’ their way.
It’s called sponsorship, you know? That’s the fancy word for it. But it’s just folks payin’ to get their name seen. It’s the way of the world, I reckon. You want somethin’, you gotta pay for it. And these sponsor folks, they want to be seen, so they pay. And they pay a lot.
They even got different kinds of sponsors. Some are for the whole NASCAR thing, some are just for one team, and some are just for one driver. It’s all complicated, but it all comes down to money. Money, money, money. That’s what makes the world go ’round, especially in that NASCAR world.
So, there you have it. That’s what I know about them NASCAR official sponsors. It’s a whole lot of money and a whole lot of names, all goin’ around in circles real fast. It’s a sight to see, that’s for sure. But it’s a rich man’s game, that’s for certain. Not for folks like me. Nope. We just watch and wonder how they got so much money to throw around like that.
