 WHAT DREW CHARLSON & TEAM HAVE TO OFFER YOU AS A MARKETING PARTNER

Drew’s consistent front running performance can offer any sponsor or race team the attention of a leading contender wherever he races.  This experience and his future racing can provide top teams a development driver to test and eventually take over their key driving position within 2 years.  The schedule of races to be run in 2012 includes driving the team owned 700+ hp Outlaw Super Late Model in the Main Event Series and some select specials.  Drew will also drive the team owned 800+ hp race cars in up to five ARCA Racing Series by Menards Speed Channel televised races, as funds allow with plans for Daytona, Talladega, Chicago, Iowa and Kansas.  The team will continue testing at the tracks where the Outlaw Super Late Model will run as well as the ARCA tracks we plan to run.  We will be available for sponsor appearances as needed.  Local appearances scheduled for 2012 include:  The St. Henry Racing Benefit, Piqua Mall Race Car Show, St. Marys Chrysler Car Show, Bremenfest Parade, Minster Octoberfest Parade, and numerous swap meets and trade shows.  This schedule will offer sponsor exposure to millions of race fans and racers both live and with TV coverage.  It will give Drew the laps it takes to hone his driving ability to peak levels.  The team’s billboard trailer will be traveling to and from these races, all practice sessions, and all appearances.  The team will also be available with their show car for special appearance events.

We are willing to align with any NASCAR team and automotive brand.  Our Daytona/Talladega ARCA Race car is the RCR Chevy Impala that sat on the pole at Daytona and Talladega and won the Talladega Race last year.  Our plan is to buy two more top notch race cars from RCR for the intermediate tracks.  We have two Outlaw Late Model race cars powered by Chevrolet.   The team is available for your teams testing and marketing needs. 

Sponsors, this is your opportunity to get in on the ground floor and sponsor an upcoming driver through the ranks to a professional driving career in NASCAR!  See www.drewcharlson.com or Drew’s Facebook page for more!
