The Duck Commander Independence Bowl

Clint Bowyer's car from last year's race at Watkins Glen:



The bearded stars of ''Duck Dynasty'' were featured on the hood of Clint Bowyer's car in a Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen last August. Bowyer appeared on the show in November 2012, in an episode when Willie Robertson brings up the idea of sponsoring the driver's car for a race.

 

''This is perhaps the most unique sponsorship in professional sports because not only does this come with special branding, it comes with celebrity spokespeople that are followed by tens of millions of people every week,'' TMS President Eddie Gossage said. ''Fans will see members of the Robertson family and cast of 'Duck Dynasty' and all the rest during Duck Commander 500 week here at Texas Motor Speedway and we have produced some awesome merchandise that both race fans and Duck Commander fans will love. This marriage is perfection.''

 

"most unique"

 

A few years back a regional chain of strip clubs offered to sponsor the Indy Bowl after the organizing committee had problems locating a company to purchase the naming rights. Pretty sure they went without a title sponsor that year. The Independence Bowl has to be one of the lone remaining non ESPN owned lower-tier bowl games.

 

Pretty sure the Sun and Liberty haven't caved yet. Not sure about the rest.
