Hello, drag racing fans and car enthusiasts! Welcome to Mark Quitter Racing. MQ Racing is owned and operated by Mark Quitter. Mark Quitter Racing participates in quarter-mile automobile drag racing whose premier car is a Phantom Black 2004 Pontiac GTO. Drag racing is done legally on professional race tracks, not the street. Numerous modifications have been done to the car making it both safe and competitive.

Mark Quitter Racing races at an amateur level and is a member of the NMCA, National Muscle Car Association. Mark Quitter Racing’s home track is the infamous Route 66 Raceway in Joliet Illinois.

Mark Quitter Racing is actively seeking sponsors and in return will promote advertising and marketing for our sponsors and for anyone who has helped support this fun and exciting endeavor. Please continue reading below for more information on the sponsorship process.

Objective

• Promote “Safe Teen Driving”
• Develop brand awareness
• Develop a strong fan base via social media
• Create a strong media presence
• Establish long-term relationships with corporate partners
• Secure funding for the 2020 NMCA Racing Season

Mission
Our mission is to win races, as well as promote extensive marketing for all those involved. Marketing campaigns include social networking, website ads, public appearances including racing events, apparel, merchandising, and of course advertisement on the race car itself. Supporting a good cause, winning races, and having fun, all while creating a fun and resourceful atmosphere for all those involved is what Mark Quitter Racing is all about. Drag racing is family-friendly, and fun to watch for people of all ages. 

Merchandising is also another great resource for sponsors and brand awareness. As the saying goes, “Any publicity is good publicity”. Tee shirts, hats, hoodies, jackets, key chains, and more can all become part of the sponsorship and brand awareness process. For more information please read all of the sponsorship options by visiting the Sponsorship category of this website.

How You Can Help
Aside from racing, Mark Quitter Racing will be accessible in bringing sponsor advertising to the public eye. During a sanctioned event thousands of spectators will see a sponsor’s advertisement.

Marketing via the race car, social networking, websites, flyers, magazines, merchandising, and so on will return a sponsor’s donation to customers. It’s fun and creative, and being part of racing is something people of all ages can enjoy.

The more wins Mark Quitter Racing earns, the more media coverage we will receive. As our team grows, we will continue to bring race fans the entertainment they deserve. Mark Quitter Racing will conduct itself in a professional manner, making it safe for the team and fun for their fans and the spectators that come to see them race.

Constant upkeep of the vehicle is needed to keep it safe for the driver, competitive, and fun to watch. Everybody loves a winner, and we race to win! Sponsors and donations will help keep Mark Quitter Racing in the winner’s circle.

Corporate sponsorship helps back the team financially as well as individual donations. Corporate sponsors can share the winning excitement by placing advertising on the vehicle as well as advertising in the pit area where the car is parked while waiting to race. The pit area is open to the public allowing greater advertising exposure during a racing event. Also, Corporate sponsorship can go well beyond the basics of advertising. Creating brand awareness through racing is nothing new and has been around since the creation of Automobile Racing. Merchandising, advertising, marketing, and bringing your products and services together through racing is creative and fun for all involved.

Mark Quitter Racing sponsors support more than just racing, they support “Safe Teen Driving” too!
