e.l.f. is speeding into NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 this weekend with Power Grip Garage, a jumbo-sized activation in celebration of its partnership with professional race car driver Katherine Legge. With this immersive, larger-than-life experience showcasing the Jumbo Power Grip Primer, the brand is making power moves towards its commitment to Empower.Legendary.Females.
Legge will be competing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series' BetMGM 300 event on May 24 as the only female driver entered in the race. Sporting an e.l.f.-branded car and fire suit, she'll embody the bold confidence to make power moves and break barriers on and off the track.
"At e.l.f., we're bold disruptors with a kind heart — showing up where no one expects, serving those too often overlooked. When we learned that nearly 40% of NASCAR fans are women, yet no one was speaking to them, we didn't see a gap — we saw a call to action," said Patrick O'Keefe, Chief Integrated Marketing Officer at e.l.f. Beauty. "Katherine drives our commitment forward: standing with every eye, lip, and face; her journey serves as a powerful reminder to believe in yourself and follow your dreams. She's a force of nature — bold, relentless and unapologetically unstoppable. Three years later, our bond is stronger than ever."
e.l.f. is making a big statement during NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 weekend with its activation – Power Grip Garage. Created in collaboration with Day One Agency and produced by The Bait Shoppe, this immersive, larger-than-life experience showcases the brand's new Jumbo Power Grip Primer, which, at 3x the size of the original, boasts more drippy, gripping and sticky action for the ultimate makeup hold. The activation is located in the Fan Zone at the Coca-Cola 600 weekend, offering an unforgettable experience for fans and supporters alike. The Power Grip Garage will feature a glam station, meet and greets with Legge, and a ‘Share the e.l.f.ing Love Wall' where fans can record a video with an inspiring message for Legge to rev her up before she hits the track.
"My ongoing partnership with e.l.f. is truly astonishing," said Legge. "Our shared passion for motorsports and dedication to Empowering.Legendary.Females. has allowed us to make a significant impact on so many people. Together, we are breaking barriers and championing representation like never before. I'm incredibly proud to be part of this movement, as we inspire and empower women to achieve greatness in the sport and beyond."
