Maddycar Racing: Organizational Differences

Decent Essays
IndyCar Racing has undergone a few bumps and bruises throughout the company’s short history, but none more frightening than the re-establishment of organizational goals in May of 2014. Now more than ever, IndyCar racing will need to focus on building corporate partnerships with the trust and loyalty that come along with it. Through a new market and development strategy, IndyCar Racing plans to re-position itself among the competition in the coming years. However, Zach Brown, founder, and CEO of Marketing International does not hastily believe IndyCar Racing will regain former glories, but he does not see this as the end either (Korman & Walker, 2012, pg.2). IndyCar Racing has stood the test of time and resolved organizational difference

    Although an aged written in 2009, the economist states that although economic depression discomforts the entertainment industry people need a change to escape and heroes to cheer for even more during these times (The Economist). This point appears to be the pivotal topic in NASCAR insulting themselves against another potential downturn. NASCAR made changes to the format and regulations to fuel more rivalries among the drivers and encouraged fan input from their social media presence which is what resulted in NASCAR still holding the number two spot after the economic downturn. In 2011, there was over 42,500 hours of live sporting events broadcast on national television in just the United States (Go.galegroup.com).…

    Good morning, If IndyCar hired me as their strategic marketing analyst, I would encourage the league to focus its efforts on road courses, as well as, oval tracks for its racing venues. Oval tracks were initially built for stock car racing (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014); however, I think open-wheel racing can also be a part of this venue. The IndyCar league differs from NASCAR for the one reason they can reach speeds that far exceed stock car racing; however, this does bring the safety of the driver to the forefront. According to (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014), fans prefer oval tracks; however, I am confident with a unique marketing approach and creative market segmentation (Robson, Pitt & Wallstrom, 2013), the racing arena could withstand various…

NASCAR has a strong brand image and loyalty that much of its strategy of co-branding, sponsorships, and partnerships helped to keep them from losing their reputable reputation and fan loyalty. However, much of their improvements can be attributed to a number of factors such as increasing more exciting races to gain more increased viewership (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014).…

    In the 1960’s and 1970’s NASCAR begin to emerge in the southeast, in such states as Pennsylvania and Florida (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014). A mid central region of NASCAR would be ideal, since NASCAR built race car tracks in the majority of the states along the east coast.

I would recommend Nashville as the identified location, due it being the capital of Tennessee and an area of tourist attraction.…
