You know, this NASCAR thing, it’s a big deal, I tell ya. Lots of folks watch it. And them cars, they go round and round so fast, makes my head spin just thinkin’ about it. But you see, it ain’t just about the fast cars. It’s about the NASCAR advertisers, too. They’re the ones payin’ the big bucks to get their names plastered all over them cars and the track.
Now, I heard them talkin’ on the TV about how these NASCAR advertisers, they put their names on the cars, them’s called decals. Big stickers, I reckon. They pay a whole heap of money for that, just to get their name seen by all them folks watchin’. It’s like buyin’ a spot on the TV, but it’s movin’ real fast! And they ain’t just on the cars, they’re everywhere. On the walls, on the ground, even on the fellas drivin’ the cars. Everywhere you look, there’s a NASCAR advertiser.
They say it’s all about gettin’ your name out there. Like yellin’ from the mountaintop, but instead of a mountain, it’s a race track. And instead of yellin’, it’s a big ol’ sticker. They call it “marketin’.” Sounds fancy, but it’s just about showin’ off your stuff, I reckon. And these NASCAR advertisers, they sure do like to show off.
These sponsors, they’re like the folks who bring the food to the potluck. No food, no potluck. No sponsors, no race, I guess. They give the teams money, and the teams use that money to make the cars go faster. Faster cars, more excitin’ race, more folks watchin’. More folks watchin’, more money for the NASCAR advertisers. It’s a whole circle, just like them cars on the track.
And it ain’t just men watchin’, you know. I heard ’em say a lot of women watch NASCAR, too. More than them other sports, like football and basketball. So these NASCAR advertisers, they’re tryin’ to get them ladies’ attention, too. Smart, ain’t it? More eyes on your name, more money in your pocket.
I remember seein’ that big ol’ tire company’s name everywhere. Goodyear, that’s it. They say it’s the most famous one of all the NASCAR advertisers. Guess everyone knows that name, even me. And that drink, Coca-Cola, they’re in on it, too. Everyone knows Coca-Cola. They must be sellin’ a lot of soda to all them folks at the races.
These companies, they’re all over the races, tryin’ to make folks remember their names. They even had one of them special events, called the Daytona 500. Big deal, I hear. They put up all them signs and everything, just to get folks to see their name. I guess that’s how they sell stuff. Show it to people enough times, they’ll remember it.
- Goodyear Tires
- Coca-Cola
- Lots of other names I can’t remember
They even use the TV to talk about the races and the sponsors. They say this “NASCAR advertisers” stuff is important. Gotta have the money to keep them cars runnin’, I suppose. Them cars cost a lot of money to run, I bet. And all them folks workin’ on ’em, they gotta get paid, too.
It is all about the money, ain’t it? These NASCAR advertisers, they want to make more money, so they pay money to get their names seen. Then more folks buy their stuff, and they make even more money. It’s like plantin’ seeds. You gotta spend some to get some. And these fellas, they’re plantin’ a whole lot of seeds at them NASCAR races.
I seen on the news that this whole thing with the sickness made folks scared to go out. But these NASCAR folks, they got creative, they said. Tryin’ to make folks feel safe and still come to the races. Smart, I guess. Gotta keep them NASCAR advertisers happy, gotta keep them folks comin’ to the races. These days, a fella gotta think about all that kinda stuff.
So, yeah, this NASCAR thing, it’s more than just cars goin’ around in circles. It’s about business, about makin’ money. And these NASCAR advertisers, they’re a big part of it. They’re the ones makin’ it all happen, I reckon. Without ’em, them cars wouldn’t be goin’ nowhere. Just like a car, can not run without gas, the race also can not run without the money.
These NASCAR advertisers got a way to get their name on everything. Like them fellas who go door-to-door sellin’ stuff, but instead of knockin’ on doors, they’re puttin’ their names on race cars. I guess it is workin’ for them, they keep doin’ it. It is all about gettin’ your name out there, I reckon. And them NASCAR folks, they sure know how to get their name out there.
Well, I reckon that’s about all I know about them NASCAR advertisers. It’s a big ol’ world out there, and this racin’ thing is just a little piece of it. But it’s a loud piece, that’s for sure. You can’t miss it, even if you try. I guess there is a lot of money in that business, you can see it from the TV. Every company want a piece of that cake. And I tell ya, these folks will do all it takes to get that.
