HOOTERS ANNOUNCED THEIR CONTINUED SPONSORSHIP WITH YOUR TEAM AND HENDRICK MOTORSPORTS, AND ACTUALLY AN INCREASE. IN THE SPORT AS A WHOLE, IS THAT A BOOST FOR EVERYONE TO SEE THAT MORE SPONSORS AND CURRENT SPONSORS ARE PICKING UP AND DOING MORE FOR DRIVERS AND FOR THE OVERALL SPORT?
“Yeah, for sure. For me in general, I feel like it’s been a really good partnership and very natural. They’ve done such a great job activating. They only have a few races a year. But, they’re important to them and they’re important to us. And when you have a company like that who has those couple of races and they do it the right way. They’re respectful of my time, which makes me want to help them more and vice-versa. So, like I said, it’s been very natural and very easy to work with. And when things are like that the flow is great. And typically the relationship lasts longer because of that, too. So, it’s very well understood on both sides of the ball is great to be on the same team.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Richmond–Chase Elliott →
