On any given Sunday, you will see Kyle Busch and Chase Elliott in their cars with their logos on them.
The majority of smaller teams continue on a series of sponsorships that pay for everything from oil to brakes to spark plugs. Team owners and drivers put in place these sponsorships.
Abbate says she courted and earned her own sponsors early on in her racing career.
Abbate said that he has been finding sponsors since he started driving at the autocross level because he didn't have family backing or an angel investor that could write the big check. The first race car I ever raced had 30 sponsors on it.

Abbate said that when she and her husband built the race car, anyone willing to give them parts or fluids or contribute in any way would get their logo on the car.

My boss has been great. When I was interviewing for the job three years ago, I told her I wouldn't be here.
