Yates Nascar
Sponsors Tough to Find for Earnhardt Ganassi and Yates
The lack of sponsorship for numerous teams in the Sprint Cup garage is further proof that NASCAR is not immune to the economic recession. It is not just a couple of small time, lower budget, field-filling teams that are encountering these difficulties. Some of NASCAR’s top organizations are experiencing sponsorship issues.
As you well know, sponsors can make or break a team, or even an organization. Because expenses are so excessive, yet necessary in order to compete at this level in NASCAR, sufficient sponsorship is vital for proper funding. In other words, if you cannot find a company or group of companies to advertise on your racecar, you might as well keep the car and the crew at the shop. NASCAR is so sponsor dependent, almost to the point that it is vulnerable at a time such as this.
In the 1990’s and even early 2000’s, sponsoring a NASCAR team was actually a bargain. That is why you did not see too many cars with blank hoods and quarter panels on the track. Some five or six years ago, the sport entered into the mainstream, and due to the exposure and attention, expenses became higher, which meant the companies had to pay some big bucks in order to keep their piece of NASCAR advertising. In the process, several companies were unable to afford to sponsor a NASCAR team, or they did not see the need to pay the high prices.
Proctor and Gamble and its Tide brand sponsored a NASCAR team from 1987 to 2005 before pulling out. Citgo began marketing in NASCAR back in the early 1980’s; however, by 2003, they could no longer afford to continue as a primary sponsor. Kodak, Pennzoil, McDonald’s, GM Goodwrench, Motorcraft, and Valvoline significantly cut back their involvement in NASCAR sponsorship.
Just ask Chip Ganassi and Felix Sabates how difficult it is during this economic crunch. If you need further confirmation, well, you can speak with Doug Yates and Max Jones. Even Richard Petty, The King, had to merge with another organization in order to survive. In fact, Petty still has sponsorship issues with one of his teams.
After Chip Ganassi Racing merged with Dale Earnhardt Inc., they had hoped to field four full-time teams. However, the No. 41 team dissolved, and the No. 8 team is hanging on by a mere thread. Several of the Target affiliates have sponsored Aric Almirola and the No. 8 team, but not enough to compete full-time. The team is trying to remain optimistic.
"We’re already having conversations with several companies that would be in position to take maybe even the whole second half or a large chunk of that. What we have to do is get there and right now we’re getting there by getting as many people to sample what we’re all about and what the sport is all about. Thus far, those that have done it, it has been a great success," said Earnhardt Ganassi Racing president Steve Lauletta.
Yates Racing driver Travis Kvapil could be a casualty of the poor economic conditions. Kvapil and his team finished 23rd in the Sprint Cup standings in 2008, but they have had to qualify their way into the races after their points were transferred to the new team with sponsorship driven by Paul Menard. Golden Corral and Farmers Insurance have sponsored Kvapil in select races, but neither expects to remain on the car for the duration of the season. If sufficient sponsorship funding continues to lack, it could be disastrous for Kvapil and the team, as they seemed to be on the brink of some solid performances just a few months ago.
A.J. Allmendinger, a rising star driving for Richard Petty Motorsports, may not compete in the full slate of races due to lack of sponsorship. Allmendinger ended the 2008 season with some noteworthy performances and finished third in this year’s Daytona 500. However, if they cannot sign a long-term sponsor, they will only compete on a part-time basis.
These teams must perform in order to attract attention from interested companies, but sometimes, even performance does not open up the checkbook of these corporations.

Has the cost control in NASCAR gotten out of control?
It seems like only a few teams win all of the races anymore. Mainly Gibbs, and the Roush and Hendrick have had their dominance. What has happened where teams like RCR, Penske Racing, Robert Yates Racing, DEI, Chip Gannassi and Felix Sabates ever winning races consistently. They hardly ever win. They force older drivers like Sterling Marlin, Rusty Wallace, Dale Jarrett, Ricky Rudd, Ken Schrader, Bill Elliott, and Terry Labonte out of full time and competitive rides. Never are their any surprise wins anymore from guys like Joe Nemechek, Mike Skinner, Kyle Petty, Johnny Benson, Ricky Craven, and the late Bobby Hamilton. It's been like this for several years. I understand it may be a new generation of drivers but how come young guns like Reed Sorenson, Brian Vickers, Jamie McMurray can't ever be allowed good cars. It seems like all of the money is spent on certain drivers of certain teams each year. Many teams even Roush Racing and Evernham Motor Sports had to get a finacial partner.
although i agree "cost control" in nascar has become an oxymoronic statement, i'm not sure your choice of drivers to prove your point helps your argument. reed sorenson stepped into a decent ride, and brian vickers has made great strides with a small team - i believe he does get good cars. as for jamie mcmurray, roush put him into kurt busch's championship winning car and he immediately began turning in results worse than kurt's at penske (no offense intended superdave - as a busch brothers fan it hurts me to say it as well).
and on that topic, i don't think that a team like penske is hurting for money. they not only have penske's businesses for sponsorship - particularly the truck rentals - but mobile one and miller lite have not been slouches in the past... there's something deeper wrong with a team that can't get drivers like newman and busch into victory lane more than once a year that penske just hasn't found yet so that money could be thrown at it...
overall, it's survival of the fittest and economic darwinism at its best. it's the name of the game and as the sport grows - more "business-minded" owners and partners are going to help rather than hurt those teams run essentially by those more on the "racing side" of things...
that's my $0.18.
