Camping World has extended their contract with the NASCAR Truck Series for an extra seven seasons after the 2014 season.
When created in 1995, the series used to be the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series until 2009, when Craftsman lost its sponsorship, and was given to Camping World, one year after NEXTEL lost its rights to the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series, and became the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2008.
The series has had such a history. The series was established in 1995, and since then, it has been bringing action to NASCAR fans since then, like the MudSummer Classic last year at Eldora Speedway, which is a track partly owned by Tony Stewart.
Camping World CEO Marcus Lemois told the SportsBusiness Journal that Camping World went from earning 1.5 Billion Dollars annually to 3 Billion Dollars annually. Also, he stated that there have been 27 openings of new Camping World stores thanks to the sponsorship.
