NASCAR’s Phelps: Companies “Active” In Search For Cup Sponsor

NASCAR Exec VP & CMO Steve Phelps recently discussed efforts to replace Sprint, which is in its final season as sponsor of the top-tier Cup Series.

Phelps: "We have a number of companies active with us in the search, but nothing to report at this point." He added that there is "good news with team sponsorship," which has "grown in terms of the number of companies but become more diffuse in terms of how much each is spending per team."

Only a "handful of sponsors" are on a Cup Series car for "virtually the entire 36-race season." NBCSPORTS.com
