Red Bull, in today’s era, exceeds only one energy drink company – it has established a global motorsport monarchy. Formula 1 is likely to go best for its achievements, the brand has made a domining appearance on several racing kits and liveris from a paved racing of motoPP, DTM and Australian supercars for the dirt circuit of motocross. But the company also had a small and important history in the world of stock car racing. Unfortunately for the red bull, this specific chapter in his relationship with NASCAR is defined by heart break and incomplete ability.
Miss a lot more near victory
Red Bull began to sink his toes in NASCAR in 2005, with Robbie Gordon sponsored in two Xfinity races (Mexico City and Watkins Glenn). Gordon almost won in Glenn with his red bull-proposed car, finishing second. Nevertheless, the brand’s vision overtaken the role of being just a sponsor. In 2006, a year after launching its F1 team, Red Bull officially established the NASCAR organization.
The first attempt to enter a cup race of Red Bull’s co-founder Ditrich Matschitz proved to be unsuccessful despite being a former cup series champion Bill Elliot behind the wheel. Elliot Charlotte failed to qualify his red bull dodge for a decline race in motor speed. Being unfortunate, the organization’s plans for a full session of competition with the two-car team were “on track”. They brought to Bryan Vickers from Hendric motorcysts and Aj Allmentinger, who was leaving his promising career in the champion car (eventually the Indycar) seriesSeveral notable names were also signed on the executive side, including the Genther Steiner as the technical director of the team.

Next to the 2007 season, Red Bull participated with Toyota – A manufacturer who was also making his debut in the cup series at that timeStill the failures were not yet slowed down. Both drivers failed to qualify for Detona 500 that the season Red Bull finally got its first official start as a cup series team at the Auto Club Speedway. Along with this, a glimpse of the promise was received as the Vickers wore his red bull machine for a top-ten finish in his first race. The remaining season interrupted the line of promise and despair in which Vicers failed to make shows in 13 races, while Allmander recalled the 19 races (more than half a season). In the race he had done, the wires had sometimes shown the glow of speed, which was more than the fifth in the Coca-Cola 600, which is on a fuel-mileage gambling.
Red bull finally gets its wings
Hope was on the horizon for the red bull, with a new chassis for NASCAR, it is “car car.” The team hoped that the fifth generation stock car would help leveling the playground as the old notebook was completely thrown out. The car made a slight improvement in Red Bull’s competition, and the Vickers ran all 36 races – almost winning in Poconi. It was also a major force in the Coca-Cola 600, which flew a wheel brilliantly before 61 out of 184 laps and found its way to the roof of an informed tourist.
But when the wickers increased, the Alminger lagged behind, putting the team in an attempt to improve the program to the experienced mic skinner for some race. Red Bull’s most talented moment of the year, however, came into an event that did not even count towards the championship. Allmander won his way in the All-Star Race through Sprint Shodown, and Wicors’s pit cruel won the pit cruel competition at the end of the same week.

Allmander participated with the team at the end of the season, in which Red Bull held the East-F1 driver Scott Speed, who won four races and took the title home on his vacant seat in a red bull-supported car for the Arca season of about 2008. 2009 ended a large year for the energy drink brand worldwide racing. The Sebastian Vetail Company will win its first win as Formula 1 Constable in Chinese Grand Prix, and four months later, it won its first win as the NASCAR Cup series team in Michigan International Speedway. Wilters won the event from the pole position, passing Jimmy Johnson as he ran out of the fuel with just three laps to leave. Then he finished 12th, went to participate in the playoffs. But the second entry, despite a new driver behind the wheel, still could not find his way.

A shocking turn
Wilters continued to show stable overall reforms every year, and came up with high expectations for their number 83 team in the 2010 season as it essentially took the organization to its back. He made three top-women in the first 11 races, but the brutal hand of fate refused to reach both the heights of both of them and the Red Bull. He suddenly withdrawn from the 12th race of the year, which later appeared as a life-threatening position to include several blood clots in his body, including his heart and lungs.
Without his leading driver, Red Bull carried forward very few people to show his efforts in that season in NASCAR. Meanwhile, beyond the sea, the brand was on the way to become the F1 world champion for the first time.
How can you enter the kahne. Saksham Racer signed a unique deal for 2011, competing in 2012 as a red bull driver in the form of a stopgap in the way of Hendric motor). Vicers also returned, hopefully their medical issues were now behind them.

What could have been a final glimpse of
With two perfect winners behind the wheel, the Red Bull was yet set for its best season. Kahne recorded eight top-five and 15 top-teens despite not making the playoffs-even two poles snatched away. Vicers also had their own moments, but it seemed that the race was coming in on-track scuffles more often than competing for winning. In June of that year, the news came – Red Bull closed its nascar operation at the conclusion of the 2011 season, which cited underperformance and absence brand activation as primary reasons.
But at one last moment of Mahima, the people behind Kahne and behind the curtain demonstrated the team’s true ability before their NASCAR story ended. In the prevailing race of 2011 playoffs, he played the spiler and took the fight for the title contenders in his number 4 Red Bull Racing Toyota. Catching the game veterans, he won in Phoenix.
A week later, Red Bull started his last cup with three-car attempts at Homestad. Kahne finished seventh, Vicers 17th, and the coal whit crashed. This was the last time a car did red bull colors as their primary plan in a cup series race … so far.

A team fit for another time
12 years later, the global brand has returned to stock car racing, this time as a sponsor instead of the team owner. Now since 2010, King of Formula 1 with the title of eight drivers, NASCAR is looking for a little redemption in the world. He formed an official partnership with the trackhouse racing team supporting the red bull athletes (and drivers) Shane Van Gisbergen and Connor Zilisk.
Later at the end of this week, for the first time after the 2012 NASCAR Cup concludes, a car will carry red bull colors as a primary sponsor. One of the top possibilities in Zilisch, NASCAR, only at the age of 18, will make his cup debut in the US circuit in the number 87 trackhouse racing red bull sheavel.

And thinking about it, the trackhouse symbolizes what red bull racing can be in a different era. They are a new, exciting team with international stars and a global perspective aimed at the purpose of a new and small NASCAR audience. Many people will agree that the Red Bull bus joined that first run at the wrong time. Instead of entering the middle of a financial crisis, a red bull NASCAR team is being established in the current gene -7 car era and the F1 -US boom. Publicity would have been extraordinary, the results would have been better and, I am sure, for the sake of red bull, return to investment would have been very high.
