Drivers need sponsors and sponsors are beginning
to figure out that they need drivers. There are
very few other marketing opportunities that can offer putting
a logo in front of thousands of eyes for pennies per hundred.
At WinkDog we provide the same level of service to our sponsors
as we do our drivers. It’s all about success whether
you're headed for the checkered flag or record sales and
WinkDog helps with both.
What is a sprint car?
Think back to those sports shows where they
show the most dramatic racing action, drama, and wrecks
– the cars viewers usually see are sprint cars running
on dirt tracks. Established almost 30 years ago these small
– usually winged cars are more powerful than NASCAR
machines and use more than 850 horsepower on a 1200 pound
frame to run at more than 140 miles per hour on a dirt track
sometimes no bigger than a high school football field. This
sport is fast, extreme, and exciting.
What is the World of Outlaws?
The “World of Outlaws” name was
coined years ago when top sprint car drivers traveled
across the country to compete against local drivers for
big prize money. Since the touring drivers usually took
the prize money form the local heroes, they became the “Outlaws”.*
How does this opportunity
benefit my business?
Plain and simple – this is
a unique marketing opportunity that provides a direct link
to your audience for a fraction of the cost of traditional
methods. This is your opportunity to capture the attentions
of a fiercely loyal audience that is known for spending
money on sponsors’ products and services. This is
a hard working, blue jeans and t-shirt wearing crowd that
will begin to develop a relationship with your brand and
help your company ultimately become more successful. In
its documentary DIRT Track Warriors, CNN talks about dirt
track racing stating, “it’s has 30 million fans
- $1 billion a year business – 800 tracks in 49 states
– Dirt track racing is the biggest sport you’ve
never heard of.”
With companies vying for the attention of a captive audience
in a world flooded with information – relationships
with your consumers are more important than ever. Dirt track
racing will develop that relationship and secure your place
in the hearts and minds of your customers. The opportunities
are almost limitless and can be targeted to
