“Racing, competing, it's in my blood. It's part of me, it's part of my life; I have been doing it all my life and it stands out above everything else” says racer Ayrton Senna.

In other words, by working in his dad's business. Racing has always been what David does. It’s what he grew up around. David has done this job full time since 16 or 17. This job was also his father's, Ray Barton.

NASCAR’s newest events, Regional Hometown Races (RHR) have taken the large scale NASCAR branding strategy and localized it through regional races and rivalries. These racing events are sponsored by NASCAR and backed by the promotional strength of the brand-name sponsors. These Regional Hometown Races would regionalize the television broadcasts, begin co-branding with localized small businesses, and differentiate racing venues depending on the region.

The year 2008 was a dreadful year for corporations as it brought profit losses for their business. Corporations would rather forget this dark time in history plus trust past events do not repeat themselves. During 2008 companies were struggling to stay in the industry. NASCAR, Chevrolet, and Chrysler among others firms could not have prevented what was occurring in the USA economy (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014). There was nothing that could have altered the 2008 recession. However, the NASCAR’s overall co- branding strategy dealing with the marketing affairs seems to be a sound plan, but they lacked diversification in its sponsorship portfolio.

I always wondered if a person ever espoused a sport, store, or a plan to give a statement of comparison. For example, one might consider Wal-Mart as an enhanced service and food than Food City. A person in life will always have opinions in one’s mind. When having an opinion, one can compare or contrast to make any opinion understandable. In my opinion, Nascar is more electrifying than Drag racing because, Nascar has more than two cars, has an additional amount of thrill, it lasts longer, and Nascar has more entertainment than Drag racing.

“Racing is about discipline and intelligence, not about who has the heavier foot. The one who drives smart will always win in the end.”

At its core, economics is all about how people make choices. Choices are necessary because we live in a world of scarcity. Even the richest among us have to decide how to allocate our resources. When it comes to racing there are several ways that the economy can have an effect on it. The economic downturn that began in the late 2000s and persisted through the early 2010s has revealed how much NASCAR relies on a healthy, growing economy.

Knees weak from climbing a flight of stairs or the anticipation of meeting Brian, I walked into his office announcing my presence with a raspy, delayed voice. Upon flinging open the door, his face lifted of his desk and stared at me with a distant expression. My first take of Brian caught me off guard, with his apple red mohawk, wearing his branded castle racing jacket and pants. Looking at his appearance you just knew he was into racing. After building up the confidence to murmur good morning we left his office to his own personal race track he made at his house. “There is more to just sitting down on a vehicle and holding down the throttle. If it was that easy everyone would do it.” For Brian racing has come at a cost and has been through adversity on and off the track.
