Will UPS drop NASCAR, NHRA sponsorship programs?

UPS is going through its normal evaluation of all of its motorsports sponsorships, a UPS executive said Thursday.

UPS has agreements ending after 2008 with Michael Waltrip Racing, some race tracks, NASCAR and the NHRA, said UPS motorsports marketing manager Laura Kouns said in a phone interview Thursday.

Two years ago, UPS went through a similar evaluation process before agreeing to move with Dale Jarrett to MWR.

“Right now, we’re currently evaluating our entire motorsports program on both the NASCAR and the NHRA side," she said. “Every time a contract expires for any type of sponsorship, we take the opportunity to evaluate our program and evaluate our options.

“We’re currently going through that process. … Everything is being looked at just as the normal course [of business]." Scenedaily.com
