Marketing Partnerships

Why consider Marketing Partnerships or Sponsorship Opportunities in local short track racing?
In recent years, auto racing has become the highest-attended spectator sport in the United States. While several million people annually attend professional motorsports events sanctioned by organizations such as NASCAR and the IRL, hundreds of thousands of people also attend weekly short-track racing at local tracks across the country.
Motorsports marketing, or race team sponsorship, is one of the most cost-effective methods of advertising. Race fans are extremely brand-loyal. A recent survey showed that almost 72 percent of NASCAR fans polled stated that sponsor influences have a direct effect on their purchases.
We can tailor an inexpensive advertising program to a sponsor's particular needs. In addition to professional graphics on the car itself, marketing partners will be prominently placed in our web site, www.viscontibartonmotorsports.com . Since we utilize a 28' enclosed trailer, it can become a rolling "billboard" during our trips to and from the track.
Visconti/Barton Motorsports was established during the Winter of 2007 with John Visconti and Thomas Barton as the Driver/Owners.
We compete in the nationally recognized Legends Car Racing Series and are able to race at top NASCAR tracks such as Atlanta Motor Speedway (Atlanta, GA), Lowes Motor Speedway (Charlotte, NC), and Rockingham Speedway (Rockingham, NC) to mention a few. The tracks where we race in the Northeast include Riverhead Raceway, Bethel Motor Speedway, Wall Stadium, Chemung Speedway, Stafford Speedway and Waterford Speedway.
Legends Car Racing is governed by INEX and 600 Racing at thousands of tracks from coast to coast. A number of today’s top NASCAR drivers like Kyle Bush & Dale Earnhardt Jr. have raced in this series. Thousands of dedicated fans attend these races on a weekly basis. Many cars have nationally recognized sponsors. They include companies such as, Hormel, Cingular, Nextel, Zaxbys, Bojangles, Subway, General Mills, Home Depot, Western Union, Atlanta Journal plus hundreds of others known across the country.

Dear John and Thomas,
I'll leave your comment up as an 'open letter'. Hopefully somebody in the US will take an interest. But I'm afraid it's not for me.
Hi there,
My name is Bradley Philpot, I'm 23 years old and I'm currently looking for funding for the 2009 season to race a sports prototype in the Bikesports championship with the 750 Motor Club.
I began racing karts when I was ten years old and continued until 2006, ten years later.
In 2007 I won the Toyota MR2 championship in my first year of car racing and with absolutely minimul budget, funded by my family.
At the end of 2007 I also competed in the Mclaren Autosport young driver of the year award shootout in Formula Palmer Audi at Snetterton.
I have been a racing intructor for 3 years, winning the 'Instructor of the year' award in my first year.
The reason I would like to race Bikeports this year is that they are still very fast, but the cost is much lower than other series with similar speeds. It is also a truly 'national' championship - competing at most major UK circuits.
I am based in Rushden near Bedford, but I travel all around the country instructing. I would be happy to travel wherever you needed me to to promote your company.
I am looking for £1,250 sponsorship for the year which would cover some of the costs involved in competing. I am sourcing the rest of the finances for the season from other potential sponsors, as I believe this amount provides the best value for what I can provide you during the year.
For this amount, in addition to the obvious 'New Again' stickers on the car, I am offering a track day with our racing car with hotlaps for up to 10 of your guests.
I would be on hand to talk about the car, explain how and why we do things at the race track and of course provide the 25 minutes per guest of fast laps in a car that corners with similar G force to an F1 car.
I guarantee your guests would never forget the experience.
Included in this day out would also be a meal at lunchtime for each guest.
4 free tickets to 3 separate races throughout the year will be provided for guests or staff of your choice. We can provide additional tickets at a cost of £10 per person.
I can also cater for additional guests at other track days for £70 each.
Our car is a Reynard Inverter (www.reynardracingcars.com) and it would be available to you on 5 days of your choice (other than race weekends) for promotional use / events throughout the year.
If you would like additional spaces on the car for logos, they are also available at the same price but obviously include the exact same package of an additional 10 guest spaces at another track day and 5 promotional days with the car.
I hope this partnership is of interest to you.
I have attached a picture of the car and myself in an email to you, but more information can be found at www.bradleyphilpot.com
Kind regards,
Bradley Philpot
