$2-Billion-Worth MLB Team Announces Their NASCAR Partnership With Richard Childress’s Other Grandson for Chicago

No division of elite motorsports can claim to be about just the driver. NASCAR too is a team sport that involves various units working together to build a successful team and take the checkered flag. Sponsors play a crucial role in this process, as they not only provide financial support but also help attract more fans to the sport. In their pursuit of expanding their fan base, NASCAR has made significant changes in the 75th season.

Sponsorships often help create stronger bonds between the sponsors, teams, and drivers. For example, FedEx has maintained a longstanding partnership with Joe Gibbs Racing and driver Denny Hamlin. And over the years, this has resulted in the formation of a symbiotic relationship among the stakeholders.

While there has been much talk about Richard Childress’s grandson, Austin Dillon, driving for his grandfather’s team, Childress’s other grandson, Ty, has recently taken the spotlight. This time, the news surrounding him is positive, as one of the biggest sports teams in the country has decided to form a partnership with his NASCAR team, Spire Motorsports.

Which NASCAR sponsor will be partnering with Ty Dillon and Spire Motorsports?

The renowned baseball team, White Sox, has made a significant announcement regarding their sponsorship deal with Ty Dillon. SBJ’s Adam Stern shared a tweet regarding the announcement. As per his tweet, The White Sox’s design will be prominently displayed both on the #77 Chevy as well as on Ty Dillon’s racing suit. This partnership marks their inaugural presence in NASCAR, and the new livery for the Street race will be on display at the Guaranteed Rate Field on June 23–24.

According to Forbes, the White Sox hold a valuation of $2.05 billion, making them the most valuable team in Major League Baseball. As part of the sponsorship deal, they will serve as the primary sponsor for the #77 Chevrolet during the Chicago Street Race.

Mike Downey, the Director of Marketing and Promotion for the White Sox, shared his enthusiasm regarding this new venture and stated, “This partnership with Spire Motorsports is truly a unique opportunity to showcase the White Sox brand during one of the most talked-about events in Chicago.”

He further addressed the importance of the unique event of NASCAR by saying, “The NASCAR Chicago Street Race is certain to be an event for the record books, and we’re grateful to team up with Spire Motorsports and Beggars Pizza to be part of what is sure to be a memorable event for all.”
