Few were likely surprised that Dale Earnhardt Jr. topped a list of NASCAR drivers as far as marketability and consumer awareness, but some results from the recent survey of hard-core racing fans by Millsport may have raised some eyebrows.
 
Millsport’s second annual Davie Brown Index for NASCAR quantifies a celebrity’s relevance to consumer behavior and is calculated in various entertainment categories by Millsport parent company The Marketing Arm. The survey includes questions that examine how many people are aware of the driver, how much the driver influences purchases and how passionate fans are about the drivers.
 
“What is interesting to us is the amount of separation that Junior has created in his sport and with these fans – it’s unlike anything we’ve seen in the celebrity world,” said Millsport Vice President Ken Cohn. “Fans are at least 20 percent more passionate about Junior than they are the next driver.”
 
The top five in the NASCAR survey were Earnhardt Jr., Mark Martin, Tony Stewart, Jeff Burton and Jimmie Johnson. Also in the top 10 were Carl Edwards, Jeff Gordon, Bobby Labonte, Kasey Kahne and Kyle Petty.
 
Michael Waltrip and Dale Jarrett dropped out of the top 10, replaced by Edwards and Kahne.
 
Edwards had the biggest jump from 20th overall in the first survey to sixth this year.
 
The drivers near the top are typically winning or have a name that is associated with a legacy of winning (such as Petty), Cohn said.
 
Among other tidbits in the 2008 survey, Cohn revealed:
 
• Tony Stewart jumped in the “appeal” category from 17th to eighth.
 
• Kyle Busch, even though he won eight Cup races, was not among the top 10.  He is among the highest in awareness but among the lowest on what fans think of him, Cohn said.
 
“We were interested to see if his on-track performance would be reflected in his off-track perception, and it doesn’t seem like that’s been affected quite yet,” Cohn said. “We’re going to keep our eye on that.”
 
• Joe Gibbs Racing rookie Joey Logano ranked 13th out of 36 drivers on the list of those who were perceived to be overexposed.
 
“We represent GameStop, who was really the only brand that leveraged Joey this year, and they did no advertising,” Cohn said. “There were a ton of media interviews and stories. What the answer to that question seems to suggest [is] that fans aren’t distinguishing between advertising and media coverage as it relates to exposure.”
 
• Among three drivers who are expected to break through in the index on marketability are Logano, David Ragan and Brad Keselowski.
 
Keselowski’s likeability was 13th overall. “You wonder if there is a little bit of a Junior factor going on,” Cohn said about the driver for Earnhardt Jr.’s JR Motorsports team.
 
• Earnhardt Jr. doesn’t top the list of all motorsports drivers in the company’s separate survey, which was one on general overall awareness among the U.S. population, not just hard-core fans.
 
Jeff Gordon was the top motorsports driver, followed by Earnhardt Jr. and then Indy Racing League driver Danica Patrick.
 
Patrick actually was third on the overall rankings among hard-core Indy Racing League fans behind Helio Castroneves and Tony Kanaan.

    I like Junior it does not matter to me if he is first or last. I also will not buy a product I do not like just because he is endorsing it.

    It's amazing how he still has marketetability. I don't think I heard of AMP until this year. It is everywhere. I am a Dale Jr fan, but I am happy that Jeff Gordon was the top motorsports driver. It is also great to see Danica Patrick. I agree with Martin I won't buy it just because the drivers name is on it. I have try different products (crackers, cookies) because of the NASCAR connection. Hendrick has how many top ten, 3 in the top five and one in the top 10. How did he do that???

    Energy drinks with celebrities are a no-no. AMP Energy drinks hand out thousands of cans a weekend in the campgrounds and at the merchandise areas. I have seen kids and adults alike drink these things like they were soda and they are not. 1 can of AMP is equal to 12 teaspoons of pure sugar. And in hot weather like we have at some races the people who are in the in care care center have all dehydrated from these so called energy drinks. They are just as bad as drinking.

    I also like Jr. but would not drink an amp for 100.00 its bad for you and kids should not drink it. I was a little surprised Jr. would use amp as a sponsor, maybe he didn't read the label. The only thing i have a problem with is i will buy at Home Depot befor lowes thats for sure. Johnson is my least favorite driver. Other wise the only product i like is combos yes one of Kyle's sponsors but they are good i buy a bag every week. And i like Kyle.

I am a huge Jr fan and I would still love him even if he was at the bottom of that list.I wish him all the luck in 2009 and hope they he gets that championship he dreams of! He's already a champion in my eyes! Go Dale!!!!!!!

    Well they must not have included the sales from all the stores where we live! We had a hard time finding Kyle's merchandise...not because they didn't carry it but because it was selling out. The Clerk at one store said "We can't keep them on the shelves!" We had to order direct from Joe Gibbs racing for most of our stuff. For as much as I love Kyle I can't imagine scarfing down a bag of M&M's or Combo's if I didn't like them! Just like I wouldn't ban myself from Amp or McDonald's if I loved them just because Kyle doesn't have them painted on the hood of his car! I would like to think we all a bit more free thinking than that!

I have Oreo cookies that are like rocks. It is all packed away for my grandson. I will support JR. to the end Just like I did his father.

    I think the main goal of sponsorship is to get the proverbial "foot in the door", i.e. get people to try the product. Those who never heard of AMP until they sponsored Jr. are exactly who the company wants. It gets you to try the product - you like it, great; you don't, well at least they sold one that they wouldn't have otherwise :-)
    I will at least try most products that sponsor NASCAR teams, and I've gone the other way too - haven't used TIDE since they left a few years ago, and on a more local level will not buy any more Jelly Belly's since they decided to no longer sponsor Jim Inglebright in the Camping World Series West.

    I myself am a Dale Jr. fan, but I am very careful about the sponsor merchandise I buy. This is a business endeavor for the Hendrick Company, and actually I had rather see someone drink the Amp drink than a Budweiser. I have bought the Amp drink before, but I buy the sugar free. Just yesterday I saw a little girl that looked just like the child in the Pepsi commercial years ago with Jeff Gordon. Folks this is advertising, and advertising is $$$. I don't want to bash any other drivers, because Dale Jr. fans have more clout than that. Go Dale Jr.

    Let`s face the truth folks, if Dale, Jr.`s name were anything but Earnhardt he would bt close to the bottom of everything. His father was my hero and it hurt me to the core when Jr. went over to the crook Rick Hendrick Motor Sports. You can bet your life that Sr. turned over in his grave in shame when Jr. nwent with Hendrick. I know for a fact that Dale, Sr. had no use for Rick Hendrick because he was aware of his criminal background. All of this information came from the Charlotte Observer newspaper in 1992.

    For you Roy. You are dead wrong His last name has nothing to do with the sponsors loving him. He has it all thaty is why he makes so much money for his sponsors. For all you morons who keep saying that get real. You just dont like him because he is the biggest thing to ever hit nascar. That is probably why 52% of all sales belong to Jr. That leaves 48% to divide between the other 35 drivers. Nascar isnt stupid neither are the sponsors they know who can get the money. Go Jr you will always be #1 with Jr nation.

    It is very obvious that Jr. fans don't like Kyle because he wins more than Jr. Why? Because he is a better driver than Jr. Hey, I not a fan of either, but you've got to call it like it is; Kyle is a winner. Regardless of how he acts or even looks; he is a proven winner. Jr. isn't. If you can't win with Hendrick resources, you're just not a winner.

Calling him a big dumb doo doo head? You don't like the guy? That's fine but stop acting as immature as you claim he is.

    That is a common misconception about American vs foreign cars - it doesn't matter where the car is made, the profits go back to the country where the business is incorporated. So buying a Toyoto means the profits go back to Japan. Buying American means the profits come back to America. I also refuse to eat M&M's anymore!

Isn't it funny how the Jr. fans gang up on who they preceive to be Jr.s biggest threat? Actually about twenty guys out there with more talent than Jr. are threatening to them, it's just who's the hottest in a given year.

I've switched to Reese's Pieces. Love my Sony Bravia TV, PS3 & Vaio laptop along with my Wrangler jeans & Adidas shoes. GO 88!!

    Listen I am a huge Jr fan. He can drive and will show eveyone in 2009. As far as Kyle goes the kid has a ton of talent and a mouth that matches that. I dont dislike Kyle but to me he needs an attitude adjustment. JR is what he is no matter what he does I will always be his fan. I am also a nascar fan and enjoy watching every driver out there. If you are a true fan stop bashing everyone and enjoy the racing no matter who does what. Happy New year to all.

    Just wanted to leave all you "Nation" people with this, both the Busch Brothers made a name in Nascar without a famous name. Kurt has his championship, and Kyle most certainly will very soon! You should'nt bash Kyle untill JR. wins a championship!

    Bravo Brent! Kyle is gaining more fans all the time. One poll has him leading the field of drivers fans think will win the 09 championship. FYI guys: Jr. wasn't even in the poll. People who like racing are coming to appreciate what he does on the track. If you like pretty boy pitchmen...hang with Hendricks.
