The National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum Built Strong Momentum with Consistent Sweepstakes

Strategy: The National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum in Knoxville, Iowa is a hall of fame and museum for sprint car drivers, owners, mechanics, builders, manufacturers, promoters, sanctioning officials and media members. In 2019, they launched their first sweepstakes fundraiser on the TapKat platform, raised a neat $245,000 with a 2019 Z06 Corvette Coupe and haven’t looked back since. In the years since, they have refined their promotional strategy and built a solid list of donors that can’t wait to enter again.

Story: As of this writing in September 2026, the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum has run 12 sweepstakes on the TapKat platform, mostly for modern Corvettes, but most recently for vintage Corvettes. Their dedication to this fundraising strategy and thoughtful approach to sourcing prizes that appeal to their ever-growing donor base has yielded fantastic results: By their fourth sweepstakes in 2022, they broke $1,000,000 with a stunning silver and yellow Limited Edition IMSA GTLM Championship Corvette C8.R plus $25,000.

Check out some of their successful campaigns through the years:

The funds raised have meant a lot to this organization, which previously relied almost exclusively on donations to keep the lights on. They intentionally kept museum entry fees low (at $5) to ensure that anyone who wanted to walk through and take in the history of sprint car racing was able to do so. Now, thanks to the funds coming in from sweepstakes, they are able to keep their doors open seven days a week, year-round, plus they’ve expanded the facility and acquired more meaningful memorabilia.

In the video above, Executive Director Bob Baker describes what it was like when the organization decided to run their first sweepstakes (hint: the board was nervous!) But after that first year of success, the museum jumped in wholeheartedly and saw their fundraising numbers go up and up. It absolutely transformed the financial health of the nonprofit.

Congratulations to the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum and all their winners!
