NASCAR Sponsors


This post was inspired by Michel, who was excited to see that Little Debbie is a NASCAR sponsor. You would be surprised by who is a sponsor of NASCAR and/or specific drivers/teams . . .

DIRECTV
Mars (as in the candy company - so M&Ms, Mars bars, etc. - official chocolate of NASCAR)
Kellogg's (official breakfast food of NASCAR)
Nabisco (they are the official cookies and crackers of NASCAR)
NicoDerm
Prilosec (the official heartburn remedy of NASCAR)
Tissot (the official timekeeper and watch of NASCAR)
UPS
Target
Taco Bell
McDonald's
Long John Silver's
Great Clips
Dollar General
Beringer Vineyards
U.S. Border Patrol
Dr. Pepper/Snapple
GameStop
Holiday Inn
Macy's
several casinos and resorts
And, of course - Coca Cola, Budweiser, Crown Royal, Jim Beam, Miller Light, Budweiser, Jack Daniels, Red Bull, and Coors Light.
This is not an all-inclusive list - just a few of the more interesting ones.
I can't belive Eileen is not a dollar store treasure hunter - they are way fun and not only can you find good deals, but cool fun stuff that you won't find anywhere else. Take my dinosaur hat, for instance - and it is my hat, not my daughter's, although I did let her wear it when we got home. I was the one who wore it throughout the store and didn't take it off at the register - the cashier just scanned the label off my head.

I'll be rooting for the Prilosec car during the next Brickyard 400! Does it race in the Brickyard? If so, I may even go watch it! It's 20 minutes from home!

We need to go shopping! I could definitely see you lowering you head to be scanned.

No Prozac sponsors? Viagra? Incontinence medicine?

I sure didn't forget National Guard - the Army sponsors Ryan Newman, too, and the Navy, Air Force, and Marines have all been sponsors - I was just trying to list some peeps that may be a surprise to people. I think I have a disclaimer that says it is not inclusive - I love Jeff Burton's purple Prilosec car, too - Burton is a good man, great driver.

As far as Viagra goes - they did sponsor Mark Martin's car a few years back. They don't sponsor anyone full time, but I wouldn't count them out for another part time gig. NASCAR races are always full of dorky Viagra commercials. My son loves them - and my dad is embarrassed by them.
