For popular NASCAR drivers, finding a sponsor is not a problem. In fact, companies ask, if not beg, to be a sponsor for those drivers. For a new NASCAR team, the road to getting a sponsor is tougher.

      Seek out companies that don't already sponsor a NASCAR team. The likelihood of a company sponsoring multiple cars is rare.

    • 2

      Gather a list of potential sponsors. Keep in mind that a wide variety of companies sponsor NASCAR teams. Don't limit your search for a particular genre of sponsors.

      Present your team to the potential sponsor. Basically, you're selling your team to the sponsor and giving the sponsor the reasons why they should sponsor you. One key selling point is the amount of exposure the sponsor will receive. Obviously, the better the team, the more exposure.
