Gatorade will provide its sports science resources to develop customized hydration protocols for the drivers and pit crew, while the Sting energy drink will focus on marketing engagements aimed at younger audiences in developing markets where the brand has a strong presence. Doritos, on the other hand, will create themed promotional events and content that leverage the excitement of race weekends.
