I was trying to think of what it the current longest running sponsorship in Sprint Cars right now. I am talking about sponsors who are not the team owner or part of the team, but a pure marketing partnership.
Hoffman's had Kroger for a long time and I think that one was maybe the longest running at the time.
What is the current one. Wing or Traditional either one.
Wish I could type as well. Should be Long Term, not ong Term. Don't know how to fix that.
Longest running sponsor I can think of locally is the Crume-Evans backing of Monte Edison's car. Schatz has had Parker Stores for quite awhile on the outlaw circuit.
Guess I am just wondering what it takes to keep these companies in the game. Maybe if we as fans would mention that we saw the name on the race car when doing business with a sponsor it would help.
That and always try to do business with companies that back a race car when there is a choice.

Crume Evans has been around quite awhile. They also used to sponsor Gary Fisher in the #79 sprint that Kent Evans was an owner on before he bought the Kokomo Speedway. Bud's Auto Sales has been sponsoring various cars around this area for alot of years. On the Outlaw circuit Casey's General Stores has been a long time sponsor on a couple different cars.
What about sponsors that have stayed with the same team? In those cases what are the teams doing right to keep these folks on board?
Trying to learn from others success here.

Winning in a series that has National coverage (WoO TV package) I promise never hurt anyone that does have a long time partnership with any sponser small or large........

Danny Smith has had Doug Williams Trucking as a sponsor for quite a few years. Rick Ferkel and Kear's Speed Shop have been together a really long time.
