You’ve tried it on your own, but you just burned through your best fuel: your funds.
Sure, you’re successful at driving and you can win races. You have product sponsors and a little bit of funding. So what’s holding you back? Tell me, do you find yourself stuck on this circular track: You need more funding to go full-time; you need to be a full-time driver to attract more sponsorships.
You want to move on to bigger competition, but you can’t get out of the loop. Where is the turn-off - that path that will get you out of the endless loop and finally open up on the highway to your dreams?
You know you need a title sponsor that will get you more visibility and funding for better parts. Those better parts will take you farther and faster, but it’s hard to find the right sponsors.
Maybe you’ve tried (or thought about trying) working with an agent as your main contact. It probably proved unsuccessful (and costly.) They certainly don’t come cheap and the cost of hiring an agent can really cut into your overall profits.
Are you ready to go full-throttle in your career as a racer?
The truth is:
you’ll have more success doing it yourself anyway. Building those relationships and reaching out to sponsors personally is all part of the process that will pay off big in the long run. If you do it the right way...

“Before Fueled and Funded I struggled with talking to potential sponsors, but I wanted to make my race team more competitive and successful. I was drawn to Fueled and Funded because I needed help getting better and bigger sponsors, and I landed 4 sponsors for 2021 and have also been able to renew a few others long term. I can now add better parts and equipment and be more successful on and off the track.” - Jason Derrick
Check out these results:
“Fueled and Funded changed my ways of thinking about sponsorship and allowed me to see what I need to do to provide value to a potential sponsor and understand how to make it happen. I feel a lot more confident about searching for new sponsors and I’ve been able to renew my sponsorships with 3 companies, and provide a better plan for more value for my current sponsors.” - Scott Umbreit
“I’ve been able to make connections that I never thought could happen before Fueled and Funded. We have secured all of our sponsors for the 2021 season and are currently working with bigger sponsors for 2022.” - Morgan Bratcher
“Fueled and Funded has helped our team tremendously. Since joining Fueled and Funded, we've been able to set multiple meetings with potential sponsors and also secure some sponsors for the 2021 race season. Personally, my favorite part about the program is the transparency to actually see how professional teams approach potential sponsors and measure the ROI of their current sponsors."
- Aaron Philpot
Before obtaining my NHRA Top Alcohol Dragster license in early 2015, I went to school to study marketing. While I became a 2x World Champion, it is to these studies that I credit my success. They helped me land the sponsorships necessary for success.
In my career as a racer, I have earned multiple 6-figure sponsorships, and (perhaps most importantly) gotten better parts for my car every year with help from my sponsors that help me drive faster and win more races.
Now I’m taking what I know and giving back by coaching others. I’m doing it because there is nothing else out there like this for drag racing, and because I believe there definitely needs to be. In the end, we all succeed together.

Hey there, I’m Megan Meyer-Lingner
of traditional sponsorships
GONE ARE THE DAYS
These days, companies are wanting to work with brand ambassadors and influencers. Why? Because they they have a loyal audience that they’ve slowly built a friendship with via social media and in person. The old techniques, like putting a logo on your car, are just a small part of sponsors’ marketing strategy because they have realized the power of having a real connection with their audience because they are going to look at recommendations from someone they admire and trust.
That’s where you come in: sponsors need you!
But the reality is, there is a lot of competition out there. There’s nothing bad with competition, we as racers are used to it, and we even crave it! You need to show them why YOU are the right person to promote their products by having every aspect of your marketing reflect your reach inside their niche.
And that’s where I come in! I'll be busting the myths of the old ways of doing things; traditional racing sponsorship is dead.
This program provides the access you need to a marketing coach + professional racer who has done what you want to do.

Money Mindset
This week we’ll look at audience data, demographics, and you’ll learn how to find your niche. Then you’ll learn how to find companies that fit within that niche and exactly how to approach them.
Finding Your Niche

After this call you’ll have the knowledge and skills you need to set up and create your sponsorship deck. We’re going to do some myth busting this week and talk about what potential sponsors expect from you instead.
Sponsorship Decks
First impressions with a potential sponsor can be very intimidating, but I’m going to help you break down any fears you have. This week we’ll go over what to ask and what to not say during your first meeting.
The First Meeting
I’ll show you how to find out what the sponsor needs and how you can meet that need. You’ll learn how to make your offer completely customizable so that sponsors walk away happy.
Assets & Cost Analysis
Before you develop your offer and are ready to pitch it to a potential sponsor, we will go over what your costs are to make it possible and how much funding you should be requesting in return for your services.
Offer Alignment
It’s time to develop your proposal which is not just a PowerPoint that you send out. This week you’ll receive a templated proposal that I have used for my sponsorships so you know what your professional proposal should look like. We will review the terms, deliverables, and funding for a contract, without getting bogged down in the legalese.
The Proposal and Contract
Before we cross the finish line, we’ll meet up to share and evaluate your sponsorship deck and answer any burning questions you have. Plus we will feature a guest speaker from one of the sponsors I’ve worked with to get a company's perspective on being approached for sponsorship. You don’t want to miss this one!

Fueled and Funded will change your outlook on money.
“This program made me look at money differently, in general and for my racing team as well. I love everything I learned and I can not wait to put it all together! I now feel confident in my ability to find sponsorships and to become a brand ambassador. Before, I was struggling with how to ask for help, where, who, when - all the questions! I knew it could be done. Others were getting sponsors, but I just didn't know how to go about asking. I was trying to finance it all on my own, but I am so thankful for this program. I now have the knowledge I need and I am doing the work to get sponsored for next racing season. Thank you over and over again, Megan!"
- Angel Gaulden
Fueled and Funded will give you the boost of confidence you need.
“I really think you provided more than just a sponsorship program - it was a coaching program. Before taking part in the program, I struggled with knowing how to approach potential sponsors and what to tell them. I worried about getting a 'no'. But Fueled and Funded really shifted our mindset. The advice you gave concerning having a niche within the racing community really helped with reducing our struggles with comparison and improving our confidence. I feel that I will be able to take what I've learnt and be more confident in approaching sponsors and getting feedback.”
- Fiona Crisp
Fueled and Funded will teach you how to land sponsorships.
“Your social media tips helped me to obtain more followers and get more views, likes, and shares on what I post. Before I struggled with knowing how to approach sponsorship in a general sense. I just had no idea how to proceed and how to find sponsors. Now I feel much more optimistic in my ability to land sponsorships.”
- Tracy Gaudu
What Other Racers Are Saying:
Racers have used Fueled and Funded to improve their confidence, find answers to their questions, and give them the skills they need to approach sponsors.
Fueled and Funded will help you make connections.
“I felt my way of approaching sponsors was outdated, what may have worked 10 years ago are the ways anymore. I’ve had 9 calls with marketing people who make decisions, none of which would have been possible without learning Megan’s approach. Now that I can find people on LinkedIn easier than a Google search or a website contact us page, I’ve found a whole new path to make connections.”
- Trevor Larkin Racing
Fueled and Funded will help you follow through.
“Fueled and Funded is one of the wisest investments someone in motorsports can make! Immediately from the first class I was hooked, I am more confident than ever with knowing how to follow through with potential sponsors. Every call has a lot to give; Megan is personable and the slides made things easier to comprehend and visualize.”
- Dallas Glenn-Rogers
Fueled and Funded will FILL IN THE BLANKS.
“There’s no golden bullet but you have to know how to aim and Megan’s class does exactly that. Fueled and Funded filled in some blanks and answered some questions for someone like me who has marketing experience, and still is an absolute must for someone just starting out!!”
- David Davies

YES, THAT'S ME! I'M READY! >>>
Fueled and Funded is the only group coaching program for drivers and teams that includes weekly calls, downloadable templates, and real-life application steps - so you can find the sponsors you need to start racing full-time.
Each week, join your coach and 50 other racers for a live workshop call via Zoom. The program is designed to tackle a new subject each week for 9 weeks so that you walk away knowing everything you need to know, from your first contact with a sponsor to submitting your year-end fulfillment report to them.
“I realized that I’m not alone in my struggles, I was lacking direction and I was lost on where to start. But we’ve found success in writing sponsor letters and sharing our story. We now have a better understanding to implement decks and proposals and what we are worth and how to ask for compensation from new and returning sponsors. It takes time and determination for this program to work and we need to take our race program from a small family team to a business plan that is professional and grows with our career aspirations.” - Abigail Cole Racing
Don't just take my word for it, hear it from other racers:
“I had a great experience with Megan’s program. The templates were very helpful and I’m more confident knowing what I’m looking for from a sponsorship, the classes were extremely helpful and I liked having other racers to talk to in the Facebook group to give some feedback if they had experience that others may not have.” - Jessa Johnson
“Before I took the course I was really struggling with several different aspects of sponsorship like how to connect with companies, how to present my value, and what a proposal looks like. Joining Megan’s program reduced my level of uncertainty and increased my confidence. I have improved my approach and it has already helped me connect with a few prospects as well as helped make progress with those already interested in sponsoring my team. Now my sales pipeline is organized, my audience is defined so I can spend time contacting companies that are a good fit for me which saves me a ton of time, and I have an accurate and logical way to price my assets and report value to my sponsors to make the relationship sustainable.” - Joe Morrison
“She's taught me a lot about the whole process really from beginning to end, but it's a lot more than that. It's about your value and how to determine what to ask for; how to be confident in asking for that; just everything you need to know about those initial meetings and what to put in a sponsorship deck. So I highly recommend if anyone is thinking about it or struggling with sponsorship and just wants to get a bit of a hint in the right direction, Megan knows a lot so definitely jump on board and take advantage of her new course!"
- Fiona Crisp
“I struggled with the process of how to go about finding sponsorships, I didn’t know where to start or how to go about it. Now I know the importance of sponsorship placement and exposure. This program helped me understand the meeting process and how to prepare myself when discussing sponsorship deals or any deals with professional companies. I applied your teachings to expand my social media reach, create new partnerships, and improve the overall presentation of my freelance work. I used the tactics I learned in this program to reach out and get featured in a local newspaper and made a highlight reel. I now feel prepared where I can professionally present myself to possible partners, I had social media accounts but lacked the knowledge of gaining the full potential out of them. I was able to make major strides this year and network with other racers, you made it possible for me and I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to learn this valuable information. “ - JW Power Media
Need more proof that Fueled and Funded works?
“I know where I want to go in racing and it will cost a lot more than I can handle on my own. Learning how to properly get sponsorships from Fueled and Funded will help me move forward. I’ve learned a lot in creating my marketing deck, menu and proposal and I’m feeling better since I have more knowledge.” - Tiffany Mack Racing
“Fueled and Funded was very informative and gave a lot of amazing pointers and suggestions on how to approach certain aspects when dealing with sponsorships. I appreciate the fact that we have lifetime access to the video recordings as I wasn’t able to attend a lot of the live meetings due to work. My favorite part was the Facebook group and getting to interact and ask questions outside of the meetings.” - Kristen Bakewell
“This is the biggest sponsorship opportunity that my team has ever had, and I really believe in branding my team and doing everything that Megan told me to do to try to get my followers to vote... She also has helped me obtain 4 other sponsors this year and being a one-woman race team, and being through the times of COVID, it’s just seems incredible to me that I’ve been able to accomplish that. If you really want to take your team to the next level to try to show them your worth, what you can do for them as sponsors, you really need to consider Fueled and Funded by Megan Meyer.”
- Team Tracy Motorsports
What’s keeping you from joining?
“It seems like too much money.”
These are carefully designed workshops supported by templates, materials, and lessons that it has taken years to develop. As a marketing coach for racers, a 1:1 coaching call with me is usually $100 per hour. In this program, you receive 9 (+bonus call, templates and materials) making it the best and most affordable way to learn from me. Besides, if you gain just one 4-figure sponsorship from putting this program into practice, you have earned back your entire investment. Now doesn’t that seem worth it?
“I don’t think I can commit to being on the call every time.”
I get it. You never know when you might have to be absent. For that reason, all calls are recorded. If (for whatever reason) you can’t participate live, all recorded videos, extra notes, and materials will be uploaded and available to you at your convenience inside of the member's portal.
“I don’t have a camera on my computer.” OR “I’m camera-shy.”
No camera required. Choosing to come on camera or simply typing your questions into the chat is left up to you! Either way, you’re welcome to participate.
“Can I write this off for expenses?”
Yes! Educational courses like Fueled and Funded are qualifying resources that fall under business expenses that you can deduct.
