About Us
Who are we? First and foremost, we are true fans of racing and we care about the people and future of the sport. Early on, we saw the need to help and provide services for racers and sponsors. We have been providing these services for many years, including building and designing marketing materials, seeking, landing and managing sponsorships, along with just putting people together that can help each other reach their goals in racing.
We understand sponsorship is a win-win situation for everyone! Sponsors get help promoting their company and sell their products, racers get to do what they love, fans get to cheer on their favorites and loyally support the sponsors!
Sponsor + Racer + Entertainment = Marketing Success
Why did we create SponsorEdge.com? We are a team of motorsports marketing professionals who realized a huge void within the industry. Over the last 25 years we have witnessed the frustration from drivers, teams, tracks and other entities in the sport concerning the everyday issues of seeking and landing sponsorship. We have seen thousands of man hours and dollars wasted as companies sift through piles of proposals in search of the right opportunity to add to their programs. We understand how hard it is for racers and sponsors to find each other. We also understand how costly and time consuming it is on both sides.
We knew there had to be an easier way! A way for sponsors, racers, teams, tracks, series, promoters and other industry professionals to network together, making the process of finding each other easier and more cost effective. We put our heads together, combined the perfect team of professionals, and SponsorEdge.com was developed.
Join Sponsor Edge today and get networking to find the
perfect sponsorship connections for your racing or marketing needs!

Cindy Lenz
– President/Corporate Relations
Cindy was raised in a large family
which included four brothers. They raced against each other on
anything they could get their hands on, BMX, Go Karts and even lawn mowers.
As a family, going to car shows, motocross events and local stock car races
were normal weekend events.
Being around racing, her family became
friends with a variety of racers. Cindy was a fan of all kinds of
motorsports from the beginning and loved being out in the shops.
Anything that had to do with loud engines and going fast, and Cindy and her
brothers were there.
Cindy was introduced to the inside
struggles of racers 15 years ago, when she met her husband Jeff Lenz who was
on the pit crew for an Off-Road Race Team. Loving every aspect of
racing, being a creative person, and having a degree in Visual
Communications, her and Jeff made a great marketing team. Working
together to help racers market themselves and have a web presence through
Attitude Motorsports Marketing was a natural fit. Trying to help the
racers, Cindy would talk to sponsors and came to understand struggles
companies faced in finding the proper fit for their race programs.
Together with her husband, they knew there had to be an easier way to bring
racers and sponsors. This led to Cindy becoming a Co-Founder and
President of SponsorEdge.com.

going to car shows and local racing events. Anything to do with fast
engines excited him and growing up around motorsports he became friends with
racers in a variety of race venues.
