“I think it’s really good from a brand alignment perspective, but we also intend to use this as a way to grow our business,” says John Walsh, Mack Trucks vice president of marketing, calling both Mack and NASCAR “fundamentally American brands.”
Walsh noted NASCAR fan loyalty, as well as their loyalty to the racing body’s brand partners, as benefits Mack saw in the partnership.
