Kubota Tractor Corporation's Sponsorship of the American Rally Association

In an exciting announcement, Kubota Tractor Corporation has established a one-year partnership to serve as the presenting sponsor of the American Rally Association (ARA) for the 2025 season. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for both Kubota and the rally racing community, highlighting a shared passion for outdoor adventures and driving.

The ARA stands out as the largest rally organization in the United States, organizing the only national championship dedicated to stage rally racing. Through this partnership, Kubota will not only gain visibility but also align itself closely with a vibrant community of motorsport enthusiasts.

A Natural Fit for Passionate Drivers

Theresa Duncan, Associate Director for Marketing and Advertising at Kubota, expressed the natural chemistry between the two entities. She noted, "The ARA and rally racing community exudes a love for driving and outdoor experiences, making this partnership a fitting collaboration." Over recent years, the rallying scene has seen substantial growth, attracting fans eager for the exhilaration it promises. Kubota aims to enhance the experience for its customers and rally fans alike.

As the presenting sponsor, Kubota will gain significant visibility at ARA events. They plan to set up a booth in the Parc Expose at every event, featuring equipment displays aimed at engaging fans and offering giveaways. In addition, the company will provide RTVs for official use on race weekends, further solidifying its commitment to the event and the participants.

Kubota Genuine Parts will also play a role by hosting a "Part"ner Parts Service Booth at the rallies, facilitating swift assistance to race teams with reliable replacement parts to keep them in the race.

Community and Integrity in Racing

The rallying community is characterized by its close-knit nature, consisting of teams, volunteers, and devoted fans who are unified by their enthusiasm for authentic automotive challenges. Preston Osborn, ARA Series Manager, emphasized this community spirit, stating, "Kubota and the folks of 'Kubota Country' are going to fit right in. We’re thrilled to welcome them into our strong community. Together, we will elevate the sport of rally to new heights."
