1 2007 MARKETING INITIATIVES

2 “Motorsports is one of the most unique, most effective opportunities available to marketers today, connecting brands, products and services to an emerging sport with a devoted, brand-loyal fan base” - Scarborough Research Corporation

3 Collaborating with partner sponsors to develop motorsport themed marketing initiatives and maximize ROI High Exposure – Motorsports combines an identifiable property with wheel-to-wheel excitement and high-speed drama that is followed by fans through television, radio, print and the internet. Awareness – Motorsports brands are competitors in the event, visually displayed to millions of fans as cars and drivers race side-by-side, brake for critical pit stops and celebrate hard won victories. Engagement – Motorsports sponsors and their partners are part of a sport on the move, participating in weekend-long events in front of an avid fan base. Conversion – When combined with market activation programs, motorsports executes a measurable return on investment that far exceeds any other type of sponsorship.
