North Carolina is the NASCAR Hall of Fame's location in Charlotte and where you'll find the most devoted NASCAR fans, even though NASCAR's official base is in Daytona Beach, Florida.
It's no wonder NASCAR is thrilled to be involved in North Carolina's imminent sports betting debut, especially through their partnership with DraftKings in North Carolina. This collaboration is a testament to the deep-rooted connection between NASCAR and the state.
“DraftKings has a proven track record of enhancing the fan experience across sports,” said Joe Solosky, NASCAR managing director of sports betting. “We are thrilled to continue working with DraftKings to deliver NASCAR fans more engagement opportunities and bring its leading mobile sportsbook to North Carolina.”
DraftKings is now NASCAR's official daily fantasy sports partner in the United States and Canada. Additionally, they've become an Authorized Gaming Operator for NASCAR and will enjoy extra sponsorship perks within the NASCAR community across the nation, including North Carolina sports betting.
Other North Carolina Partnerships related to NASCAR
Speedway Motorsports, the owner and operator of Charlotte Motor Speedway and North Wilkesboro Speedway, has joined the NASCAR scene by partnering with BetMGM North Carolina. This collaboration adds to the excitement, just like DraftKings does.
“We have been eagerly awaiting legal, safe, regulated online sports betting in North Carolina, a state with more than 10 million people and one of the most vibrant sports environments in the country. BetMGM’s partnership with Charlotte Motor Speedway meets a great demand for entertainment from North Carolinians. Together we will deliver a premier and responsible gaming product that benefits many state agencies.” Said Adam Greenblatt, BETMGM CEO
According to Charlotte Motor Speedway Executive Vice President and General Manager, Greg Walter, he stated: “BetMGM has established itself as a signature source for sports betting with partnerships in every major league sport and with venues across the country. With Charlotte Motor Speedway’s history of innovation, we wanted to move forward into this new era of sports entertainment with a progressive sportsbook. This partnership with BetMGM will bring sports fans new ways to enjoy their favorite events while expanding North Carolina’s tax base, supporting colleges, and facilitating recruitment of major events for the future.”
Furthermore, to support several publicly financed universities in North Carolina, sports betting revenues will be deposited into a dedicated fund for major events. As a result, North Carolina will be able to host more major national sporting and entertainment events, which will benefit the state's economy by increasing tourism and job opportunities.
NASCAR Is All Set For The Arrival of Sports Betting in North Carolina!
Exciting times are ahead! As the launch day for North Carolina's betting apps approaches, it's certain that they'll all feature NASCAR betting options. NASCAR itself is thrilled to see the new opportunities this will bring.
NASCAR feels there's a vast potential for growth in this area, especially since it sees itself as something other than an established betting market like the NFL, NBA, or MLB.
North Carolina opening its doors to sports betting is a big victory for America's top auto racing organization. North Carolina is the ninth-largest state and a key TV market for NASCAR. A NASCAR representative mentioned that places like Greensboro often rank nationally at the very top in viewership for the sport.
