American Honda Teams Up With Progressive In Groundbreaking Motorsport Sponsorship Deal

American Honda has unveiled a new collaboration with Progressive at the SuperMotocross World Championship Playoffs. This partnership includes title sponsorship of the factory race team, starting with the event at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Team Honda HRC Progressive will now feature Progressive branding on race bikes and rider uniforms, with more branding placements expected in the future.

The collaboration extends beyond just race-team sponsorship. Progressive will also support American Honda’s Demo Ride events and Rider Education Centers. Brandon Wilson, American Honda Manager of Racing & Advertising, stated, "We’re excited to finally kick off this unique new sponsorship. What I think makes it most interesting is that it’s not just a traditional race-team sponsorship; it’s a broader agreement, with an intercompany, cross-departmental aspect. It’s fun to kick this collaboration off for the SMX Playoffs, but this is just the beginning."

Together, we can explore initiatives that enhance the driving experience and offer unparalleled value to our customers. We’re excited to embark on this journey."
