There is no easy way to explain it

[@davidpendergast30]

Very informative, never to old to aquire knowledge 😊

Greg Wilson is a great ambassador for Hercules tires. Talk to him many times at different tracks in Pennsylvania and Ohio he always remembers if he talks to you before and seems genuinely happy to see how you're doing and talk to you about what's going on

[@michaellamb1342]

I couldn’t agree more. Greg Wilson is definitely a class act. Good dude.

[@nickweaver6197]

Greg wilson would of won a lot more races if he had had better equipment and money he is one of the best drivers around

[@jeffperry7971]

Hey man, thanks for explaining how sponsorship actually works. In my type of business almost everything is done by contract. If i gave a vendor special product placement for a special favor, like maybe race tickets, I’d be fired. Great show!

[@tannerlibert7024]

Same here, nobody would be fired...Im the owner of said companies

[@scottkernan9007]

My son and daughter always make sure all there friends grab NOS drinks instead of any other drinks to hopefully help all racers and I sure hope Joe Amanita has some luck for his way for a change lol all those Pennsylvania guys are badass

[@shaneseabolt6493]

thats why i started using pennzoil back in the day they where the only oil sponcer in nascar. that was in my teens and im 50 now

[@tarrantcountylive455]

Being a sponsor never brought me 1 customer in any of my businesses. I just did it to help the guys out and it was cool. The more rough guys became on the track the better it was for me to keep my money in my pocket so I didn't have to make bail. So nowadays none of my businesses give a penny to racing. My good friend that owned one of if not the biggest sporting goods store chains in the US (still around and bigger than ever) that put millions of dollars in to dirt track racing but he did not want the name of that store on anything he gave money to. He did not want any bad feelings towards the store. He sponsored and owned stock cars and late models without the name on any of them. He was a large sponsor for a track and came really close to buying a famed track. All without 1 mention of his stores because it is smart business. I know a guy that owned a bank that did the same locally to him. Never a mention of the bank but there was lots of money invested. Hang on there, you lost most people with a widget There actually is a Widget. It's a razor blade scraper. Works great.

[@T-Bone0671]

As a NAPA employee I was beyond thrilled to see Napa Auto Parts prominently on Overtons car..... I just hope corporate really takes hold of this and uses the sponsorship and marketing in the local stores.

[@dantheman5907]

This brought back memories of one guy at our local track that had like 100 sponsors.......lol...... everyone. Did something for him from food to a engine!

[@williamwagaman9538]

Thank you for mentioning racing extravaganza you ought to come up if you can great show thank you

[@DirtInMyBeer94]

I love racing xtravaganza. Been going there for years. It's a few blocks from me. It's always a fun way to start the year🤙🏁

[@mikelyons2831]

I appreciate those who have a love & passion for the sport & fund it: John Christner Trucking, Curb - Records/Agajanian to name a few

Penske in Australia only got into Supercars to help bring their related businesses to Australia and early on had a lot of their company names on the cars and then went to Shell in a contra deal. Once they were established here, they sold the team on

[@jonathanmietzner8003]

It depends, the first words spoke by the professor in my first MBA class. Those two words were used often in the program when answering questions.

[@saltybildo9448]

Good show justin

[@crouchb15]

now I may have something to do on the 1st. I love central PA!

[@JT-22]

A perfect example of team owners' business sponsoring its own car in Central PA is Stehman Motorsports

[@kevindininny9475]

Good job on that sponsorship insight.

[@RC.41]

How are there ever enough Silver Crown cars?

[@nclancer9570]

Mandee Pauch Mahaney's latest podcast on Dirt Track Untold discusses sponsorship with the head of Pioneer Pole Barn, who is very involved in the PA/NJ racing scene. Very interesting topic!

[@jigglynacho9254]

Hey I was just wondering if you heard the news about Tri County Racetrack in brasstown NC opening back up?

[@mariebeasley1269]

Ballou just announced he be back fulltime

[@AuteryMotorsports]

I got 4 new sponsors for 2025 1st just likes race cars 300$ check 2nd Friends with my dad for a few years 500$ check 3rd We’ve been buddies for a while and I’ve helped with his Crate late model so he helped get my car ready (Free) 4th he took over a Statefarm firm and does track day events and just loves cars along with letting him pack the track he offered 300$. People told me I under sold my spots on the car. But my stats being 2 Top 10s. Anything more then 500$ is crazy for my operation

[@edminas3159]

Cook Out sponsors Usac so when I recently Drove south I stopped at one ordered one of 45 shakes and told the manager thanks for their support. Sponsorship works

[@richardrogers5482]

Not 100% sure. But do remember hearing that the John Christner Trucking sponsor of WoO Andy Hillenburg included the use of the Race Hauler and fuel paid for. His race hauler painted up white, with the reflective tape was one of the nices ones around.

[@lus6450]

I sponsor a modified and a Crate late that race at Kankakee County Speedway. I do it just because I'm friends with those 2 guys. And, they do have a sticker on their cars with my first name. It's just because.... 🏁

[@kylen82]

First tried Nos energy by getting a freebie at a WoO race. I don’t buy energy drinks often but I get Nos every time now thanks to their support of racing

[@thomaswolf4642]

I'll 2nd that I only buy NOS due to their involvement in dirt racing.

[@ezduzit4009]

I've been holding out hope Ricky Lewis would run USAC sprints full time this year. With the loss of Pursely and Bacon replacing them with Danner and Lewis would be great additions to the field.

[@scable-eq7bp]

Is Jade Avedisian returning to KKM on a part-time schedule?

[@theraif]

Yah some times it's free food from the local pizza joint when I was dragracing some tracks offered contingency money like moroso you had to have a part from them, I bought a set of scratched and dented valve covers for $10.00 , open hood show the valve covers and sticker on car extera $20.00 for my win

[@blackpacking101]

I buy NOS over RB because of sprint cars

[@tv4957]

👍

[@bmigro153]

Hi Mate, would love a small request, could you do a small piece on Sheldon’s chances of actually winning a WoO championship, or is he gonna be one of them top drivers who’s just not a “points racer” Has his consistency gotten better over the years? Does he win enough?

[@benkirkpatrick6729]

Add in Jadon Rogers and Robert Ballou for USAC sprints per today's posts.

[@lefturn99]

And Hendrick dealers sell Valvoline.

[@dougsmith9109]

I thought the reason for Hoker leaving Pierce was another company offered more money to be in that spot on the car?

[@christopheroelkers9409]

We'll never know the full story on that. Hoker did a KZbin a week or two ago (with Chaz maybe) and he would not go into details. I doubt Pierce will ever say. Maybe Angie will go on one of her rants. There are plenty of rumors out there that are pretty easy to find regarding what happened. My guess is that given the people involved, it's messy.

[@donm921]

​@@christopheroelkers9409 Interview with Chaz??? That's National Enquirer level credibility right there. 😁😁😁

[@RonF-t2g]

You forgot the secret sponsorship where the company purposely supplies a faulty banner that comes off the wall just at the right time for a driver to benefit from it. 😁 Sorry, couldn’t resist.

[@russellpatterson7778]

Don’t put a sticker on your car unless they put a dollar in it don’t even put product stickers unless they help you

[@laps8316]

Quit crying baby

[@donm921]

You left out a big one. "Sponsors" paying the help. ie.....crew/car chief, tire guy, etc. And I use a myriad of Lucas products simply because of Forrest's long time extensive support of motorsports of all types.

[@DIRTRACKR]

Another good example!

[@timgilbear]

You also didn’t mention the kid whose family owns a company that hocks it All to give him a ride.? Or a guy who marries someone to get a sponsorship? Remember the NASCAR kid whose daddy makes pistons and rings? He got a ride. It depends, for sure, that is the seamier side of it, to me
