JTG Daugherty Racing signs primary sponsor for Cup race at Pocono
JTG Daugherty Racing announced today that the organization's No. 47 NASCAR Sprint Cup entry, with driver Marcos Ambrose, will carry the logos of iRacing.com this weekend at Pocono Raceway.
This is a one-race relationship between the team and the motorsport simulation company.
“Our partnership with Marcos to help introduce iRacing to Australia and New Zealand has gone extremely well,” said Steve Myers, iRacing's executive producer. “So, when this opportunity with his NASCAR team, JTG Daugherty Racing, became available, we jumped at it. With NASCAR-sanctioned online racing being introduced to the iRacing service in less than six months, this seemed like a great way to introduce ourselves to the more than 80,000 NASCAR fans who will attend the race in person and the several million more who will be watching on ESPN.”
NASCAR-sanctioned racing is scheduled to begin on the iRacing service next year. The company has already introduced exact digital duplicates of the vehicles raced in NASCAR’s Camping World Truck, Nationwide and Sprint Cup series. The company has built, is building or is negotiating to produce digital versions of all the tracks on the current NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule.
In recognition of this sponsorship, from Friday through Aug. 4 iRacing is offering new members a half-price three-month subscription to the service. For more information, visit www.iracing.com.
Financial terms of the sponsorship were not disclosed.
