Ford Gets NASCAR Partner Prize

  • March 8, 2013

Ford got the NASCAR Driving Business award in Las Vegas  at the organization's NASCAR Fuel for Business Council meeting on Friday. Ford gets the nod because of the panoply of  deals they have cut through NASCAR with other official NASCAR partners.

The NFFB Council involves some 55 Official NASCAR Partners in a speed-dating (no pun intended) scenario four times a year around products and services. Ford, per the organization, gets the nod for its effort to sell vehicles to other NFFB members through its Partner Recognition Program. Through an advanced customer database, the company directly attributes vehicle sales and lead generation to NASCAR Official Partner assets. 

Ford Motor Company, which has been competing in NASCAR since 1949, has been a member of the NFFB Council since 2007, per NASCAR. Last year Ford sold more than 5,500 vehicles to NASCAR Official Partners with one of its largest vehicle sales deals being worth more than $5 million, according to association, which said more than two-thirds of Council members participated in Ford’s “Partner Recognition Program” with the likes of 3M and Sprint.
