Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How do I get started?

A1: Please fill out our New Partner Request Form.

Q2: Can I get merch with a custom graphic?

A2: All our premium designs are custom full graphics including a car and other design elements starting at $85 for the first car on the design, additional angles or cars can be added for an additional $25 each, final price dependent on design.  You can pay up front, but we also offer the option to deduct it from future sponsorship payouts.  If your current art fee is not paid in full, either up front or through sales, within 6 months or when a new design is requested we will invoice for the remainder.

Q3: What merchandise is available?

A3: At this time we are starting Partners out with a short sleeve t-shirt and hoodie in both adult and youth sizes, as well as a hat, blankets and stickers.  We also have over 70 items available on demand through The Customizer!  Additional merch is available on request.

Q4: How much can I make in sponsorship money?

A4: This solely depends on the traffic you can drive to the shop and how many sales that convert. A single-side t-shirt retails for $25 and you make a 20% cut on those sales, or $5 per shirt. A two-sided hoodie retails for $50 and you get $10 of that.

Q5: How do I get my sponsorship money?

A5: We will track your monthly sales and pay out sponsor dollars at the beginning of each month for the prior month's sales. We transfer affiliate payouts via PayPal, Venmo, CashApp or FSR Shop Gift Cards.  Minimum amount for payout is $20, if at the end of the year you have at least $10 we will pay your commission.  We must have your payment information on file to pay you.  We will make attempts to collect the information regularly, but if you are unresponsive we will hold your commission for a maximum of 12 months and then it will be forfeited.  

Q6: How much have you paid in sponsorship money?

A6: We have paid out over $40,000 in sponsorship money to our Partner drivers/teams since 2021.

Q7: What happens if I decide I don't want to participate anymore?

A7: This is an at-will partnership. If at any point in time you, or FSR, decide to stop the partnership your merch will be removed from the shop, no questions asked. Any pending sponsorship money will be forfeited.

Q8: What's the catch?

A8: There isn't one, no fine print, no funny business. You drive traffic and sales, we pay our sponsorship dollars. We love racing, and the more drivers on the track the more racing we get to watch.

Q9: Why does my order come in multiple packages?

A9: In addition to printing some items in-house, we source other apparel and non-apparel items directly from different vendors to give you the best possible on-demand, turn-key merchandise available to grassroots racers at reasonable prices without requiring bulk orders.

Q10: How long does it take to get my order?

A10: Generally we suggest to allow up to two weeks for delivery to your door.  Items are typically custom produced within 2-3 business days and then shipped.  Most orders arrive within a week, but there always could be unforseen delays due to inventory supply, shipping delays, etc.

Q11: Why do the colors on my shirt look a little different than they do on the website?

A11: FSR partners with commercial print houses to deliver best in class merch with no minimum order quantities by using what is called direct to garment printing.  DTG uses modern inject technology (similar to your paper printer at home) to spray ink directly into the fabric, versus traditional screen printing that applies thick ink in layers on top of the fabric.  The DTG technique allows us to have intricate designs with an unlimited color palate compared to screen printing that uses a limited amount of colors and can't handle the level of detail our talented artists produce effectively.  So while screen printing may produce a more vivid result, we chose the DTG method to bring you high-quality designs that will last 30-50 washes or more with no minimum order quantity at an affordable price.
