Rohner Racing is family owned and operated race team established in 2004 by Tim and Anna Marie Rohner as a vehicle for their son Kyle to enter into the world of competitive racing. In its inaugural season, Rohner Racing entered into Tobias Slingshot division at Syndersville Raceway in Pennsylvania where he was named the 2004 Tobias Slingshot Rookie of the Year. In the last five seasons Rohner Racing has taken the checked flag more than 40 times in both Slingshot and Sportsman Dirt Modified racing and is a consistent “Top 10” finisher. With Rohner Racing entering the Heart Chevrolet Spec Sportsman Division at Accord Speedway in 2008, Kyle Rohner received his first win in the highly competitive dirt modified racing on September 5th of the year. In 2009, Kyle came in 4th in overall for the Heart Chevrolet Spec Sportsman Division and also place 2nd in the Stage 1 Modified Division
To remain competitive and continue the team’s winning tradition, Rohner Racing is seeking corporate sponsorships. The funds obtain from sponsors are used to maintain the race vehicle and underwrite the cost of competition. The assistance of sponsors, both large and small, is the key to the team success. Sponsorship of a race team is an excellent marketing strategy for businesses, both large and small, to get their products and services out to the public. Motor sports fans are the most brand loyal of all sports fans. Performance research has found that 70% of motor sport fans claim that they consciously buy sponsor’s products over other brands to actively support the favorite race team.
Rohner Racing offers excellent opportunities for companies to market their products to race fans. Depending on the level of sponsorship, these opportunities may include but are not limited to:
