Zippo Extends NASCAR Sponsorship

March 1, 2014 - Zippo has signed a multi-year renewal, extending sponsorship of the Zippo 200 at The Glen NASCAR Nationwide Series race through 2016. Now in its tenth year, the Zippo 200 is the third longest running Nationwide Series race under the same name and sponsorship.

“From the beginning, our partnership with Watkins Glen International has been a great fit for both of us,” commended Greg Booth, Zippo president and CEO. “Racing fans, especially NASCAR fans, have the same loyalty and passion for their sport as Zippo lighter fans have for our product. Our Zippo Outdoor products make even more sense as we reach out to thousands of avid fans who pack the campgrounds during the race weekend at the Glen.” The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series weekend at The Glen is August 7 - 10.

for Fifth Anniversary

The Zippo 200 has also had a notable list of Grand Marshals, including Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, Miss America 2006 Jennifer Berry, Zippo President and CEO Greg Booth, and Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett.Last year, in addition to title sponsorship of the Nationwide series race, Zippo also sponsored the D’Hondt Motorsports #92 Zippo BLU™ car driven by Kyle Busch.
