Artifact Overview

NASCAR's popularity soared in the 1990s and 2000s. With its fan base growing in size and diversity, the sport attracted new sponsors. Traditional advertisers like auto parts stores and motor oils were joined by breakfast cereals, children's toys and other family-friendly products. Cigarette brands were phased out. NASCAR-themed souvenirs, like this pennant, increased sponsors' reach beyond race day.
