GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. — One of the longest-running sponsorships in sprint car racing has gotten a little longer.
Brian Brown Racing announced Tuesday morning that Casey’s will return as a primary sponsor next year and beyond following a multiple-year extension.
“I’m very excited,” Brown said. “The first time I drove for them was in 2003 and ’04 with Lonnie Parsons. We’ve been with Casey’s with Brian Brown Racing since 2012. To have them be a part of our team for more than 10 years is kind of unheard of in our sport, but is something we are very, very proud of.”
Casey’s, which was founded more than 50 years ago, is a Fortune 500 company operating over 2,300 convenience stores. The company provides freshly prepared foods, quality fuel and friendly service at its locations throughout the Midwest.
“Casey’s is excited to continue working with our longtime racing partner, Brian Brown and congratulate him and his team on a great 2021 season,” said Megan Elfers, vice president of marketing for Casey’s. “Motorsports, including sprint car racing, is a passion point for Casey’s, our team members and guests. Nothing goes better with cheering on Brian than Casey’s handmade, delicious pizza and other snacks and drinks from our stores. We’re looking forward to a big racing season next year.”
Brian Brown Racing has amassed three track championships at Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway, as well as more than 85 feature triumphs during the last decade of the partnership with Casey’s.
“We’re very excited to continue to represent their 2,300-plus stores and all of their employees,” Brown said. “There are lots of new and exciting things going on with Casey’s, including new products. It’s awesome to represent them on the track.”
