Schif Posted June 11, 2020 Report Posted June 11, 2020 Somewhat off topic here, but I just googled Bubba Wallace, who is not the alter ego of a left handed pink driver wielding golfer, and the first page of Google had his race results for the past few times he's been out on the track. These included: Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 Folds of Honor Quiktrip 500 Food City 500 Alsco Uniforms 500 Coca-Cola 600 Now all I can wonder is how much the naming rights cost for a Nascar race. With the exception of Coca-Cola, which probably sneezed and the money for this sponsorship fell out, I can't imagine these smaller and seemingly obscure companies have huge sums of cash to just toss out there. Is it relatively cheap to sponsor a race? If so, will there be a Blue Mountain 400? Perhaps a PASR 500? Let the fundraising begin if that's the case Quote

Let the fundraising begin if that's the case Expand i would definitely imagine that sponsoring a race is above what we might be able to set up through go fund me. You would think it might be a little cheaper right now due to the whole no fans thing, but these sponsorships were set up long ago. i have never heard of Blu-emu, but i do know they sponsor a car, but it might not be a full sponsorship. those are crazy expensive, so it appears as though they have some loose cash to toss around, or sponsoring a race/car is really good advertising. You are right that there are alot of obscure companies sponsoring races, and then there is also Toyota which sponsors a few races. I do think at one point, Pocono Tourism or something sponsored Pocono, and you know there cant be a huge budget there for that stuff. Quote
