On February 4, 2024, when the green flag waves for the Busch Light Clash, the first event of the NASCAR Cup Series, it’ll be “5 o’Clock somewhere” making it the perfect time for Margaritaville at Sea to sponsor Front Row Motorsports (FRM) and 2021 NASCAR Daytona 500 winner Michael McDowell.
Celebrating the launch of its newest ship, Margaritaville at Sea Islander, the fastest growing cruise line will be the primary sponsor on McDowell’s No. 34 Ford Mustang. The vehicle will be wrapped in the Margaritaville at Sea iconic tropical colors and vibe as it sails around the track at the LA Memorial Coliseum.
“We’re excited to partner with Front Row Motorsports and Michael for the first event of the NASCAR Cup Series and what is shaping up to be a very exciting season on the track and on the seas,” said Margaritaville at Sea’s CMO Amanda Travaglini. “With the launch of The Islander on the horizon and Michael at the wheel, Front Row is the team we wanted to help introduce Margaritaville at Sea to race fans.”
Not only is McDowell the 2021 NASCAR Daytona 500 winner, but he also won the Verizon 200 at the Brickyard at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and a spot in the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs where he finished 15th overall.
Margaritaville at Sea is the only cruise line to offer a “Heroes Sail Free” program. With the program, US military service members, police, fire, EMS personnel, government healthcare workers and educators can sail free to the Bahamas with their paying guest. A program which McDowell appreciates.
“On the track, we’re all about speed, but when it’s island time, there’s no better way to slow down and chill out than with Margaritaville at Sea,” said McDowell. “While we are early in the season, we already know where we are going when the flag drops on the final race – a cruise with Margaritaville. We appreciate all our sponsors, especially those who support our military and frontline heroes like Margaritaville at Sea.”
Margaritaville at Sea, Front Row Sports, and Michael McDowell are all looking to build upon a successful 2023 season in 2024.
