"Nextel Cup teams get between $10 million to $20 million from sponsors for the primary spots on their cars.
After sponsoring a car in two lower NASCAR divisions, it bought into NASCAR big-time for 2006. The company is Wimmer's multiyear primary sponsor, and it also paid to become NASCAR's official muffler and for a new company spokesman, recently retired driver Rusty Wallace.
with both those taken into mind i think it is safe to say they spent between $15 million and $30 million on marketing their exhaust systems
now here is what the average US business spends in marketing.
Bottom line: Companies with $100 million in revenue or more allocate an average of 13.8% of revenue to marketing. Companies with less than $100 million in revenue allocate an average of 8.7%.
Aero Exhaust, a seven-year-old company that seems to be doing things correctly prolly stayed pretty close to the national average.
so i think it is safe to say Aero has more than $100 million in revenue. AND THAT WAS BEFORE THE NASCAR SEASON OF 2006. i also think it is safe to say they made bank last year off Nascar!!!!
The Nextel season doesn't start until Sunday, but the company is experiencing "triple-digit" sales growth in the first quarter of 2006.
all i have left to say, assuming the merger goes through, IS HERE WE COME DOLLAR LAND!!!!!"
