Help improve our facility
The Howard County Fair Board is offering sponsorship opportunities to area businesses, organizations and individuals who wish to promote their cause and at the same time support Cresco Speedway.
Sponsorship opportunities vary and if requested can be tailored to suit the sponsor. Corporate or business outings at the track are a fun and inexpensive way to show support for the Speedway and at the same time offer your employees a great evening of exciting racing action in a family atmosphere
To invest in any type of sponsorship opportunities at Cresco Speedway, or to put together a special package that is specifically suited to your needs, please contact the Secretary of the Howard County Fair Board.
All profits realized by the operation of Cresco Speedway will be used by the Howard County Fair Board for improvements to the facility.
Title sponsorship of a race event offers several opportunities for the title sponsor to promote their business. For a $500 investment a title sponsor package will include the following:
Speedway billboards are located from turn two to turn three of the speedway and are easily viewed from the grandstands and pit area. Billboards are 4′ high x 16′ long. Each billboard is made of aluminum sheet with professional graphics, designed to the specs of the billboard sponsor.
Should a billboard be damaged and need to be repaired or replaced, the Speedway will take care of all costs. Should a billboard need to be replaced due to sponsor request because of change in sign design, natural weathering of the graphics or other sponsor changes, the billboard sponsor will be responsible for such costs.
All billboards sponsors will be invoiced at the beginning of the racing season. Billboards of sponsors who do not wish to renew their billboard lease will be removed.
Our goal is to highlight the heritage, agriculture, industry, and businesses that are the backbone of Howard County.
