ANDY JENSEN & NEOPMA

view it, and it is how I will approach running the club. If the primary function of the club is to benefit the tracks and racers, the most practical approach is to financially bolster the race payout so it motivates the racers to continue racing and to lessen the financial burden on the tracks to book the club events. This equates to sponsorship dollars, and from what I can see, the biggest challenge with keeping the NEOPMA around for 2026 and beyond.

For 2025, I have secured funds from M & M Transmission, Maxima Racing Oil, Brodix Inc., and ATI Performance Products. While these current sponsors are very much appreciated, we absolutely need more in order for me to consider the club a success. That being said, the 2025 schedule with five races will go on as planned. I will make what I have work if need be; it will be lean, but I will make it work. I have committed to running this deal for 2025 and I take pride in always doing what I say I will do even if it hurts a little.

If more funding comes in for 2025, I will try to book two more races, but time is running out as most advertising budgets and race schedules have been set for 2025.

I have some good promotional ideas to benefit any sponsors or potential sponsors that might be interested in helping to keep this 32-year-old organization around for a while longer. These ideas include recorded promo info broadcast at the events and sticker / swag giveaways to the crowd during the chip draw. There are also several businesses and companies that benefit from the existence of this club that might consider the value in keeping the club around as well. More guys making more laps in their race cars means more parts get broken and worn out. If your company sells those parts, this club will help you sell more of them, and we sure could use your help to stay in existence. Please reach out if interested. DI
