Miami, Florida, USA - October 22, 2024:
The announcement of LoJack partnering with Zeigler Auto Group as co-primary sponsors on Spire Motorsports' No. 77 Camaro, driven by Rookie of the Year candidate Carson Hocevar, for the NASCAR Cup Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway is a calculated move for both companies. The partnership reflects LoJack's ambition to strengthen its brand visibility and reinforce its position as a leader in automotive security technology while aligning itself with the performance-driven world of NASCAR.
LoJack, a well-known player in vehicle recovery and connected-car technology, is using this partnership to position its services at the forefront of the high-speed, high-stakes NASCAR environment. By associating its brand with Zeigler Auto Group and Spire Motorsports, LoJack is tapping into NASCAR's large and diverse fanbase, many of whom are automotive enthusiasts and potential customers for LoJack’s security and recovery solutions. Displaying its logo prominently on a car piloted by a rising star like Carson Hocevar further solidifies LoJack’s image as a cutting-edge, high-performance company, enhancing the trust and recognition among its target market.
Alberto Cairo, CFO of Solera (LoJack’s parent company), emphasized that this partnership serves both the automotive industry and NASCAR’s racing culture, where speed, precision, and security are key. LoJack's solutions are already trusted by major U.S. dealership groups, and this sponsorship continues to showcase its advanced technology in a highly visible, competitive setting.
The relationship between Zeigler Auto Group and LoJack is not new; their collaboration has grown over the years to include LoJack’s comprehensive GPS tracking and vehicle recovery solutions across Zeigler's 41 locations. This partnership benefits Zeigler by providing its customers with the peace of mind that comes with enhanced security, aligning with Aaron Zeigler's vision of delivering top-tier service to customers throughout the vehicle lifecycle. LoJack’s sponsorship of the No. 77 Camaro represents the ongoing integration of these two brands and a mutual commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction.
Carson Hocevar’s presence adds a layer of excitement to this sponsorship. As a strong contender for Rookie of the Year with a series of impressive finishes in NASCAR’s premier division, Hocevar's career trajectory mirrors the high-performance image that LoJack and Zeigler seek to convey. Hocevar's own enthusiasm for LoJack’s technology, particularly in terms of safety and driver insights, ties the branding effort into his own competitive edge, making the sponsorship feel authentic and integrated into the racing experience.
For LoJack, the sponsorship reflects a broader trend of technology companies utilizing motorsports as a marketing platform to demonstrate their product's applicability in environments where performance, safety, and reliability are critical. The NASCAR Cup Series, with its massive national reach and passionate fanbase, offers an ideal venue for brands like LoJack to build relationships with consumers. Moreover, NASCAR’s embrace of advanced technologies, both in vehicle performance and fan engagement, aligns with LoJack’s message of innovation and safety.
This partnership also reflects how motorsports, particularly NASCAR, has evolved into a platform where technology companies can showcase products beyond just traditional sponsorship. LoJack’s offerings, including features like driver behavior tracking and geo-fencing, mirror the precision and control that teams and drivers seek on the racetrack, making the partnership more than just a branding exercise—it’s a demonstration of technology in action.
As LoJack and Zeigler Auto Group continue to deepen their partnership through their NASCAR presence, they are leveraging the sport’s high visibility to promote technological innovation and security. For LoJack, aligning with the performance-driven nature of motorsports underscores its brand values, while Zeigler Auto Group benefits from reinforcing its commitment to customer satisfaction and advanced automotive solutions. With Carson Hocevar leading the charge, the upcoming race at Homestead-Miami is not just about speed—it’s about showcasing how technology enhances both performance and safety, on and off the track.
