Hurley x NASCAR Collaborate to Launch Line of Beach and Surf Apparel

Hurley x NASCAR Collaborate to Launch Line of Beach and Surf Apparel




 

Daytona Beach, Fla. (Jan. 26, 2023) – NASCAR and Hurley, the iconic action-sports brand, announced today a collaboration that will deliver a brand-new collection of men's and women's beach and surf apparel. Two racing themed product lines will drop during NASCAR's 75th anniversary season in 2023, with the first available now on Hurley.com, and another dropping prior to the NASCAR Darlington Throwback Weekend in April.

 

"Hurley is one of the most influential brands in the world when it comes to action-sports and beach apparel," said Megan Malayter, NASCAR managing director of licensing and consumer products. "As two companies who were born on the beach, we're thrilled to be collaborating with Hurley to bring this exclusive Hurley x NASCAR collection to fans in 2023."

 

Hurley was founded in Huntington Beach in 1999 on the principle of empowering and fueling the voice of the next generation. Through the lens of inclusion, Hurley has partnered with the world's best surfers, skateboarders, snowboarders, musicians and artists, and is an iconic global youth culture brand with roots sunk deep in beach lifestyle.

 

"We're excited to bring the Hurley energy that has solidified its stake in surf, snow and skate to a new audience through the Hurley x NASCAR collection. Racing and surfing take dedication, commitment and drive and have many of the same key attributes. We have fused the two as one in the latest Hurley x NASCAR collection while taking our brand trackside," said Ralph Gindi, COO and co-founder of Bluestar Alliance, parent company of Hurley.

 

Hurley has developed cutting-edge, fashionable beachwear for both collections including items such as board shorts, swimwear, athleisure, tees, hats and woven tops. The first line of product, which dropped today, will feature designs that reflect an authentic 1990s feel. The second line will appropriately carry a look that represents vintage NASCAR, drawing on the rich history of the sport's quintessential branding.

 

One of Hurley's feature athletes is NASCAR's own Noah Gragson, who will pilot the No. 42 Chevrolet for LEGACY MOTOR CLUB in 2023. Hurley, as well as several of its athletes, will be on site at Daytona International Speedway for the DAYTONA 500, giving fans the opportunity to purchase items from the collection in person. Follow all of the excitement here https://www.instagram.com/hurley/.

 

The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season begins with the 65th running of the DAYTONA 500®, the Great American Race, on Sunday, February 19 at 2:30 p.m. ET on FOX, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. UNOH Fanzone passes are still available at www.daytona500.com or by calling 1-800-PIT-SHOP.

Cabo Wabo Tequila: The First Official Tequila Sponsor of NASCAR

Cabo Wabo Tequila: The First Official Tequila Sponsor of NASCAR

 

Multiyear agreement cements the brand's status as Official Tequila of Daytona International Speedway, Kansas Speedway, Michigan International Speedway and

Talladega Superspeedway

 

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – (Jan. 24, 2023) – Cabo Wabo, an unquestionably Mexican tequila made with an undeniable American attitude, is now officially a NASCAR partner.

 

NASCAR and Campari America announced today that Cabo Wabo Tequila is the first-ever "Official Tequila Sponsor of NASCAR." As part of a wide-ranging, multiyear agreement, Cabo Wabo Tequila becomes the Official Tequila of Daytona International Speedway, Kansas Speedway, Michigan International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway.

 

"Cabo Wabo's reputation for doing things bigger, bolder and better perfectly aligns with the spirit of our sport," said NASCAR Senior Vice President and Chief Sales Officer Jeff Wohlschlaeger. "We welcome Cabo Wabo Tequila to the NASCAR family as we begin the celebration of our 75th Anniversary season."

 

For Cabo Wabo Tequila, celebration isn't possible without its unmatched commitment to excellence. A super-premium tequila born in the agave fields of Mexico and praised in bars and backyard barbeques across America, Cabo Wabo is Thick Cut tequila made using 100% Blue Weber Agave. Each sip evokes full-on agave flavor thanks to the purposefully thicker cut distillate of agave used to deliver a more unfiltered, raw agave-forward taste. It's this unmistakable taste that goes with an unmistakable American attitude – one that cuts no corners and makes no apologies, inspiring all to revel in the good life.

 

"NASCAR fans are known for the same brand loyalty as our beloved Cabo Wabo Tequila fans," said Campari America's Vice President of Marketing Andrea Sengara. "Like our tequila, NASCAR fans live unapologetically and expect nothing but greatness from their race day, and their race day drinks. With this partnership, we're delivering on both and giving fans a new way to bring the bold to their favorite sport."  

Fans will quickly notice Cabo Wabo's bold attitude at some of NASCAR's biggest events, including the DAYTONA 500. Throughout the season, the brand will activate via branded on-site experiences, presenting sponsorships of concerts, a consumer sweepstakes, racing-themed digital and social media content, and more.

 

Cabo Wabo is all about living, working and playing hard. That's why the brand is giving fans 21 and older a new way to level up their race watching experience either at the track, or from the comfort of their own home with a Cabo Wabo Smokeshow. The Cabo Wabo Smokeshow combines the bold flavors of Cabo Wabo Blanco Tequila with smokiness of Montelobos Espadin Mezcal and is served over ice with a lime wheel garnish.  

 

The NASCAR season begins Sunday, Feb. 5, with the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum, an exhibition featuring the sport's biggest stars and performances by international superstars Cypress Hill and Wiz Khalifa. Two weeks later, on Feb. 19, the regular season begins with the DAYTONA 500. Both races will air live on FOX. Whether watching a race on T.V., or live at the track, Cabo Wabo reminds you to always drink responsibly. The brand recognizes that sometimes the boldest thing we can do is take our foot off the gas. It is encouraging fans to downshift every once in a while and hydrate in between drinks with a "Make the Pitstop" onsite experience featuring complimentary water and co-branded reusable water bottles.

About Cabo Wabo Tequila

Cabo Wabo is an unquestionably Mexican tequila made with an undeniably American attitude. It embodies the freedom to live, work and play hard, without limitations or borders. The award-winning tequila is born in the agave fields of Mexico, where the process of making the liquid starts with only the best piñas to ensure its 100% Blue Weber Agave delivers super-premium quality and taste. From there, we purposefully use a thicker cut of the agave to produce a more unfiltered, raw, agave-forward taste. The result is a Thick Cut tequila that screams bigger, bolder and better with each sip and shines with smooth, authentic flavor and a unique personality.

2022 INEX Regional Champions Fly the Canadian Legend Car Series Colours

2022 INEX Regional Champions Fly the Canadian Legend Car Series Colours 

By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media 

 

Fans of action with the Trailers Plus Canadian Legend Car Series have become familiar with the exciting brand of racing the tour brings to every event on the schedule and last year's line-up was no exception to the rule. 

 

During the 2022 season, 41 different drivers scored points during the tour's shows at Sunset, Sauble, Flamboro and Peterborough Speedways. Overall accolades were handed-out during their championship celebration a few weeks ago but the true highlight of the annual performance is shown in how teams compared in the INEX championship standings that show regional results from different areas of North America. 

 

Based on the strength of his 8 main event wins and 11 top-5 finishes, Parker Traves clinched the most recent Canadian Legend Car Series point title. The driver of the No. 60 was also named the INEX Central Canadian Semi Pro champion. Former series winner Adam Cuthbertson took the Pro honours, with Joe Adams claiming the Central Canadian Masters accolades. Running a limited local schedule recently, Matt Haufe was also recognized for his 2022 Central Canadian road course racing success. Canadian Legend Car Series spokesperson Kevin Foisy says it is great to see the tour regulars earn some time in the spotlight. 

 

"Solid car counts and great racing were our friends across the board throughout the 2022 season," explained Kevin Foisy. "It was a great year and to have so many of our drivers acknowledged for their performance is a major feather in the cap for our teams. It's the kind of result everyone hopes for and gives us a strong footing as the tour heads into the 2023 line-up." 

 

Foisy says that while series officials expect to release the new itinerary early in the new year, a few teams including himself, Josh Inglis and Steve Gareau will take a racing vacation and head to the running of the Winter Nationals – February 12th to 17th – at Citrus County Speedway in Inverness, Florida. Last season's champion Parker Traves, Nick Portt and Foisy will head to Music City USA – Nashville, Tennessee – for a week of racing in the 2023 Nashville Spring Series.
