Gillett Evernham to open office in New York City
Quote selected text Published September 24th, 2007 in NASCAR News
Gillett Evernham Motorsports is opening a New York office to handle the sales and service of its sponsorships, making Gillett Evernham Motorsports the first NASCAR team to establish a branch in Manhattan. The move is part of new owner George Gillett Jr.’s effort to increase staffing and broaden the team’s presence. Gillett Evernham Motorsports also has hired Mark Schelde of Gravity Sports Marketing, Beaver Creek, Colo., as a consultant. Schelde has worked on a variety of marketing projects, including AOL’s sponsorship at Richard Childress Racing.
“We felt that having somebody in New York would be more fruitful than adding another person down here” in Statesville, N.C., where Gillett Evernham Motorsports is headquartered, said David Jessey, vice president of marketing and sales for the team. “Mr. Gillett is making a commitment to build up sales and service in a major way.”
