The American sports landscape is no stranger to commercial partnerships, with brands, cities and corporations routinely attaching their names to major events. NASCAR is no exception as naming rights have long been a central pillar of race sponsorship, often reflecting automotive, retail or industrial partners.<\/p>\n
