Dear Sponsor and Veterans Supporter,
It is my pleasure to announce the First Annual Racing4Vets Endurance Karting Challenge to benefit Service-Disabled U.S. Military Veterans at GoPro Motorplex in Mooresville, NC on May 19, 2014. This event will feature a number of top NASCAR® and IndyCar® drivers racing high performance go karts in a 2 hour team relay format with race fans and service-disabled veterans. GoPro Motorplex is a world-class kart racing facility used by NASCAR® Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World drivers.
We currently have commitments from several top NASCAR® Sprint Cup, IndyCar®, Nationwide, K&N Pro Series and Whelen Modified Tour drivers for the event. We will keep you informed as the driver lineup comes together.
Your Sponsorship Exposure
Timing of the Racing4Vets Endurance Karting Challenge puts it directly between the NASCAR All-Star Race on May 17 and the Coca-Cola 600 on May 25 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. These two races generate a huge concentration of NASCAR fans and motorsports media in a single location, offering excellent marketing exposure for your company. The event will be broadly publicized across multiple online, social media, radio, PR and print channels, reaching over 5 million consumers. An additional 2,500 race fans will visit the track for a chance to race karts with their favorite NASCAR® driver.
