Sponsor Opportunities:  

1. Brief detailed description of sponsorship:

Promoting Your Company through Howard Michael Motorsports would be time and money well invested.  Funds/Product provided by Your Company would be applied toward the overall budget for each contracted race season.  In addition to promoting the Your Company brand on both my vehicle and car hauling trailer (in an agreed upon location), be aware that your brand would appear on all Howard Michael Motorsports marketing materials (which will be available at each race event and related promotional events) as well as on our webpage.  When Your Company supports my team, Howard Michael Motorsports looks forward to participating in any cross-promotional activities that would mutually benefit both Your Company and the racing team.

2. Contract Information:

The sponsorship contract will require a minimum 1 (one) year commitment to Howard Michael Motorsports.  By sponsoring Howard Michael Motorsports, the racing team will have access to use of the Your Company name and logo for marketing and promotional purposes.  As well, Your Company will have access to Howard Michael Motorsports’ name and logo for company use.  Royalties will not be traded for use of either logo by either company
