July 01, 2014 (PRLEAP.COM) Sports News
PHOENIX, ARIZONA (July 1, 2014) – High Speed Exposure is pleased to announce that NHRA Super Comp Driver Jason Wieck has secured #DitchTheCan™, an energy drink company, as an associate sponsor for the 2014 season. Given that the last several years have left many professional drivers sidelined due to a lack of funding, this latest sponsorship speaks to the confidence in Wieck as both a driver and a brand advocate. Additionally, it affirms the confidence of motorsports marketing to create brand exposure and sales opportunities for companies. Brian Krogstad, Co-creator of #DitchTheCan™ stated, "We are very excited to work with Jason Wieck for a couple of reasons. First, we believe that our energy drink product is great for both racers and their fans, and second, we like to work with up and coming stars."
Jason Wieck is clearly a rising star in the sport of drag racing. After falling in love with the sport at the age of five, he has been involved in the sport as a driver and crew member for over a decade. He was recently featured in an article with 2012 NHRA Top Fuel World Champion Antron Brown, where it was noted that Wieck is following in the Champion's footsteps. As a marketer, Wieck is brilliant, having amassed an online social media following of over 70,000 fans, which exceeds the fan based of many professional race teams. Wieck commented, "I am proud to be a part of the #DitchTheCan family and look forward to a long and successful relationship with them as I move up the ranks on my way to that Top Fuel ride."
