With apologies to dirt in ur beer for stealing his idea, and since another racing gap is looming, how about a list of long-time sponsors and info about them - from whatever region.
C&B Mushrrom Farms (by dirt in ur beer) - 30+ years that I know of - I beleive much longer than that
Apple Chevrolet (by dirt in ur beer) - 30+ years
BAP's - 30+ years
Trone's Garage - related to John Trone/Trone Outdoor?
Macri Concrete
(you can tell what region I'm from)

No offense taken, Jackpot Junction sponsored the 5 car FOREVER with Forbrook, wish that car was still out there....
longest running sponsors I can think of @ Knoxville:
Casey's obviously (on the 47 car for as long as I can remember).
Action Auto Parts is another (started with Terry Thorson, then Dave Hesmer, and now on Clint Garner (or at least the owner(s) help him out on the car anyway (Ken and David Hesmer)).
Bosma Poultry has been with McCarl for a long time.
DeeZee has been with Jon Agan for 10+ years I would guess.
A lot of big $$ sponsors that used to be around but no longer are:
Jensen Construction (the orange 55 - Tim Green, Randy Smith, Skip Jackson, Terry McCarl and others all drove this car)
TMC -- Mike Brooks, Dave Hesmer, Toby Lawless, Scott Ritchart, and even Sammy Swindell drove the #12 during weekly events through the years
Amazingly, most of the local cars @ Knoxville do it without big $$ sponsors, hopefully they will all benefit from the MavTV deal and get some more sponsor $$'s rolling in for 2014 and beyond....

IRA Sprint Car Series--Question for Steve Sinclair--How many years has "Bumper to Bumper" Auto Parts Stores been the title Sponsor for the IRA Sprint Car Series?? They've been a very loyal, long term sponsor. Thanks to B to B for their support.

I do believe that Mach 1 Chassis, and Brickers French Fries will be two more long term sponsors on the rise. But a big thank you is definitely needed for all the sponsors who have stuck with the sport for this long!

Attica/Fremont
Crown Battery sponsors a lot of cars and has for years. Their operation is only about 2 miles from Fremont Speedway.
