BryanMark Financial Returns For Third Season With Stevenson Motorsports

Jan 19, 2010

Firm that caters to exclusive clientele finds rewards in racing

The 2010 season of the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask
No.16 will mark the third year that sponsor BryanMark Financial will be on board with the
Stevenson Motorsports Team. The firm’s support has been a major factor in the success the
team has enjoyed the last two years, with second and third place finishes in the season
championships the end result.
For 2010, the Stevenson Team has expanded from a single car to four brand new Chevrolet
Camaro race cars. Two cars will compete in the Grand-Am Rolex Series and two will run the
full season of the Continental Tire Challenge Series. The continued support of BryanMark
Financial was a key to team owner John Stevenson’s decision to expand the team.
Team owner John Stevenson: “It’s great to have Nick Bellon and BryanMark Financial Group
back again this year as a sponsor! Nick’s sponsorship will certainly help in our team’s success.
His involvement in Grand-Am racing has opened a lot of new doors for the BryanMark Group
but Nick is also a serious race enthusiast. The Stevenson team and I enjoy having Nick as part
of our organization and we wish Nick and BryanMark a successful 2010!”
BryanMark Financial Group was founded with the mission of providing sophisticated planning
solutions to affluent and ultra-affluent clientele. Nick Bellon is a Principal of the firm and he led
the corporate racing sponsorship initiative that brought the firm to Stevenson Motorsports.
Bellon: “We couldn’t be more pleased to have been a part of the Stevenson success story the
last two years. John and Susan Stevenson, and the whole Stevenson team, have shown time
and again that they are committed to putting forth a professional effort each and every race
weekend.
“At BryanMark, we pride ourselves on developing strong personal relationships with our clients.
As sponsors of the team we have come to know that John and Susan are great people who
deserve to win a championship. We value our relationship with them just as we do with our
clients. I know that everyone on the Stevenson team is going to work hard to make John’s
dream of winning a championship come true this season and we are proud to be associated
with them as they move towards that goal.”
More than just a corporate sponsor, Bellon is also a fan of sportscar racing and his involvement
as the face of BryanMark brings with it some personally satisfying rewards.
“I personally try to attend every race – I think I only missed one or two. I love the atmosphere on
race weekends and just being able to spend time with the team and marvel at how well they
work to keep the team competitive.”
That same competitive spirit exhibited by the Stevenson team is mirrored in the professional
approach taken by BryanMark towards its exclusive clientele.
“BryanMark was cited as the fastest growing independent company in the St. Louis area in 2008
and in the top ten in 2009. We can both appreciate and enjoy the growth that the Stevenson
team is experiencing. We look forward to supporting them again this season and for the
foreseeable future.
“I like to consider Grand-Am the perfect fit for any company that wants to market to an affluent
fan base,” Bellon added. “Sports car racing appeals to our demographic, and we are committed
to building our brand within the Grand-Am community.”
The 2010 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No.16 schedule
begins with the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona on January 30th
