How RFK Racing’s Partnership With Graza Shows Creative Sponsorship in NASCAR
Introduction
In a standout sponsorship move, RFK Racing has teamed up with olive oil startup Graza to bring a unique consumer brand into NASCAR’s Cup Series, with Graza serving as the primary sponsor of the No. 6 Ford driven by Brad Keselowski at the upcoming Circuit of the Americas event, and as a full-season associate sponsor on the No. 60 car driven by Ryan Preece.
This partnership highlights how even emerging brands can leverage high-visibility sports properties to extend reach, deepen engagement, and broaden consumer relevance, especially when they bring bold personality and alignment to the activation.
About the Graza–RFK Racing Partnership
Primary Race Sponsorship: Graza will be featured as the primary sponsor on Brad Keselowski’s No. 6 Ford at the March 1 NASCAR Cup event at Circuit of the Americas.
Full-Season Associate Role: In addition, Graza will appear as an associate sponsor on Ryan Preece’s No. 60 entry throughout the 2026 NASCAR season.
Brand Personality & Fan Connection: Graza’s colorful packaging, squeeze bottles, and consumer-friendly positioning make it a stand-out sponsor for a sport that values both performance and personality.
Though the financial terms weren’t disclosed, a Cup Series primary sponsorship typically represents a significant investment — especially for a rising brand outside the traditional motorsports category.
