A press release, photos, logos and video clips are now available on www.image.net of today's announcement that Duck Commander has signed a three-year agreement to become the title sponsor of the annual spring NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas.

Duck Commander, the brand of the best-selling duck calls and name of the thriving family-owned company led by the Robertson clan of A&E's "Duck Dynasty" fame, will begin their relationship with the April 6, 2014, race at Texas Motor Speedway that will be known as the Duck Commander 500.

Smart move by the Robertsons, since most NASCAR fans fall into their demographic. Plus it gets more exposure to the "Duck Commander" brand which they control as opposed to A&E's Duck Dynasty brand.

HAHA. That's funny. The Redneck sport with an actual redneck sponsor.

Seems like a natural progression to me...

hey if you have the money to sponsor a race why not?

sponsors for races are done with the track owner and not nascar. its well known that Eddie Gossage who runs texas motor speedway is a showman. Remember last years NRA 500?

Figured they would have went for Talledega instead of Texas.

Texas is much closer to Louisiana than Alabama.

Yea but....Alabama is way more redneck than Texas!

Never been to East Texas I take it

both Talladega races already had sponsors (Aarons in the spring..Geico in the fall) this year. Texas did not

Looks like the Robertson boys are getting into CFB as well...

The Independence Bowl, known in recent years as the Avocare V100 Bowl, has a new sponsor.

The Shreveport-based bowl will be known as the Duck Commander Independence Bowl next season, according to a tweet on Sunday from ESPN's Brett McMurphy. The naming rights will run for six years.

Report: Duck Commander is new sponsor for Independence Bowl

Brand marketing, get the Duck Commander name out there, so that the money keeps rolling in when they finally kill off Duck Dynasty.

This way, the legions of fans that only know of the Dynasty brand will be exposed to the Commander brand, which the Robertsons fully control and profit from.
