The current sponsorship climate seems to pivot around a “bring your own money” model. Those without financial backing, whether from personal wealth or sponsors, are likely to find the journey tough. But Wallace encourages resilience, emphasizing the importance of securing one’s own sponsor.
Wallace stated, “All the owners in NASCAR now except for maybe incredible talent. You know like Kyle Larson and Denny Hamlin. We’re talking like a Denny Hamlin. Right now Denny Hamlin is one of the only drivers moving forward. Now we know Kevin Harvick was the king.”
Adding to the mystery, a certain Twitter account, @PrivateP*rn*69, has been uncannily accurate with its predictions. From Spire Motorsports acquiring KBM to Hailie Deegan’s potential step up to the Xfinity Series, the account seems to have an inside track. With Spencer’s recent hint, many on Reddit are theorizing: Could she be the mastermind behind @PrivateP*rn*69?

When you think of racing giant Kevin Harvick, the image that likely springs to mind is his No. 4 SHR car blazing past competitors. But off-track, Harvick’s mastered another race: curating a mammoth $800 billion sponsorship portfolio. The secret? Well, it’s closer to the heart than the wallet.
In a recent ‘Dirty Mo Media podcast episode, Josh Jones from ‘Kevin Harvick Inc.’ shared a glimpse into Harvick’s strategy. It isn’t just about brand deals; it’s about personal bonds. When sponsors like Hunt Brothers Pizza ring, they aren’t calling a NASCAR star; they’re reaching out to a friend. As Jones reveals, sponsors “text Kevin after races… and Kevin responds back.”
But it’s not just friendly chats that set Harvick apart. Sidestepping the norm, Harvick shuns intermediaries, choosing to connect directly with sponsors. In a world where impersonal transactions often reign, Harvick’s approach is a breath of fresh air.
