The challenges in securing sponsorships have become increasingly daunting for NASCAR teams. Alpern explained that the demand for more with less investment adds to the complexities. “Selling a $2 million sponsorship takes just as much time as a $10 million deal,” he lamented. However, with HBSE’s support, Joe Gibbs Racing is finding innovative ways to tell their story and create value. Alpern spoke of newfound connections, saying, “this connects us with a family we were not a part of… Now we have a group we can lean on a bit.”

The JGR-HBSE partnership thrives with increased sponsorship revenue and better business prospects. Dave Alpern is optimistic about their competition while seeking support on the business front. With HBSE’s expertise and ties to Arctos, JGR aims to dominate NASCAR’s business arena and emerge as a force to be reckoned with.

The collaboration with HBSE not only brings financial backing but also opens doors to endless possibilities, and as Alpern puts it, “you’re finding yourself having to be more creative… Now we have a group we can lean on a bit.” Overall, Joe Gibbs Racing’s alliance with Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment sparks transformation, igniting excitement and determination within the team.
