     Fred Clement not only races his own Grand American Modified for the Fred Clement Racing team. He also drives the number 55 Legend in the INEX series for Chuck Carman owner of the  REP-CO Motorsports team where he was Rookie Of The Year for 2004. And then went on to win the Pro Championship in 2005 and then again in 2008. These series features smaller teams racing at a more local level, where it becomes much easier to target and directly interact with the people attending these events. Being able to "touch" the motorsports market is one of the main reasons many companies give for marketing through motorsports to begin with. Just as at higher levels of racing, a team, it's car and driver, all become known by the company whose name carries it. It is well known that motorsports enthusiasts have a high degree of brand loyalty. Generally speaking, the smaller teams are much more flexible and open to suggestions about what you need to make your motorsports marketing project work. Fred Clement Racing is owned and operated by Fred Clement.  He has worked for small business owners and understands the importance of the bottom line and the need to make the most of your business' marketing and promotion dollars. The fact that the Grand American Modified division is a NASCAR series makes it a much more affordable enterprise, keeping a check on equipment costs while emphasizing the talent and abilities of the driver and set up crew for true competition.   

There are many ways to put together a marketing project featuring Fred Clement Racing. The important thing about any motorsports project is that it be designed to meet your specific marketing objectives and have a mechanism built in to provide feedback about how well it is working. We are looking for both title and associate marketing partners for the 2009 season and beyond with an emphasis on seeking a long term arrangement that is mutually profitable.

 

Brand Loyalty

Race fans have proven to be the most loyal of all sports fans in their support of the companies and product lines that sponsor their favorite race car drivers. Marketing research has shown the NASCAR fan's brand loyalty compared to all other major sports as follows:
