SUMMARY
How do you inspire a young audience who doesn’t watch linear television to watch a NASCAR race when they have endless entertainment options to choose from? Make the sport relatable by channeling one of their biggest passions: gaming. Fox Sports and NASCAR paired two of NASCAR’s rising stars with two kindred spirits from the gaming world to convince a younger audience that racing was a sport worthy of their time and attention. The campaign lead to an 9x increase in ratings among our young viewer target from 2019 to 2020.
