Nascar Adds Nationwide as Title Sponsor

Nascar continued its deal-making frenzy, adding Nationwide Insurance as the title sponsor of the NASCAR Nationwide Series, replacing Anheuser-Busch's Busch brand for the start of next season.

Nationwide will also become the official auto, home and life insurance provider of Nascar.

The seven-year agreement gives Nationwide Insurance the exclusive rights to tie its brand to the most popular form of motorsports in the United States.

Nationwide now gets on board with perhaps the most brand-loyal fans in all of sports, including 2.7 million fans who annually attend races of the series.
