Card Gorilla Confirmed as Parker Retzlaff’s In-Car Camera Sponsor at Indianapolis

Card Gorilla and Parker Retzlaff of Viking Motorsports ahead of the Pennzoil 250 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway

On Saturday afternoon, NASCAR fans across the country will tune in to watch the Pennzoil 250 Presented by Take 5 Oil Change at the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway. As Parker Retzlaff climbs behind the wheel of the No. 99 Viking Motorsports Chevrolet, one camera will capture the intensity of the race from inside the cockpit.

Riding along for every restart, every pass and every lap around the Brickyard will be a brand built by collectors, for collectors: Card Gorilla.

Card Gorilla is proud to announce that we have been confirmed as the in-car camera sponsor for Parker Retzlaff during the Pennzoil 250 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday, July 25, 2026.

The race is scheduled to begin at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time and will be broadcast live nationally on The CW. Whenever the broadcast takes viewers inside Parker’s No. 99 Chevrolet, race fans will see Card Gorilla represented during one of the most exciting and immersive camera views in motorsports.

Card Gorilla Is Riding Along at the Brickyard

An in-car camera provides one of the most powerful perspectives available during a NASCAR broadcast. It brings viewers directly into the race car and shows just how fast, physical and demanding every lap can be.

Fans get to experience the movement of the car, the precision required from the driver and the intensity of racing in traffic at speed. During restarts and side-by-side battles, the camera can make viewers feel as though they are sitting inside the cockpit alongside the driver.

During the Pennzoil 250, that view will come from Parker Retzlaff’s No. 99 Viking Motorsports Chevrolet—with Card Gorilla featured as the in-car camera sponsor.

For our team, customers and collecting community, seeing Card Gorilla represented during a live national NASCAR broadcast is an unforgettable milestone. It is another major step in our partnership with Parker Retzlaff and Viking Motorsports, and it represents how far the Card Gorilla community has come.

“When I started Card Gorilla, I never imagined we'd have the opportunity to see our brand featured during a NASCAR race at the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It's an incredible milestone for our company and a testament to the amazing community of collectors who have supported us from the very beginning. I'm incredibly grateful to Viking Motorsports, Parker Retzlaff, and every customer who has helped make this moment possible. We're just getting started.”

 

— Dan Kureczka, Founder of Card Gorilla

From an Online Card Store to National Television

Card Gorilla was created from a genuine love of motorsports and trading cards. What began as an online destination for NASCAR collectors has continued to grow into a community that brings fans closer to the drivers, teams and collectibles they care about most.

Today, Card Gorilla offers NASCAR trading cards, sealed hobby boxes, live breaks, exclusive collectibles, PSA grading submission services and memorable experiences designed specifically for racing fans and collectors.

Our relationship with Viking Motorsports has allowed us to take that mission beyond the traditional card shop. Card Gorilla proudly serves as the Official Trading Card Company of Viking Motorsports, supporting Parker Retzlaff and the No. 99 Chevrolet throughout the 2026 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series season.

From the Card Gorilla logo appearing on the race car to exclusive Parker Retzlaff collectibles and fan-focused race weekend activations, the partnership creates a natural connection between NASCAR competition and the trading card hobby.

The Indianapolis in-car camera sponsorship takes that connection to another level. Card Gorilla will not simply be represented at the track. The brand will be carried inside the race car and into homes across the country during the live broadcast.

A Major Moment at the Racing Capital of the World

Indianapolis Motor Speedway is one of the most recognizable and respected venues in all of motorsports. Its history, enormous grandstands and iconic yard of bricks have made it a destination for generations of drivers and race fans.

The Pennzoil 250 gives NASCAR’s rising stars the opportunity to compete on one of racing’s biggest stages. Parker and the No. 99 Viking Motorsports team will take on the famed 2.5-mile oval for 100 laps and 250 miles of racing.

Indianapolis demands speed, patience and precision. Long straightaways create drafting opportunities, while the track’s four distinct corners punish even small mistakes. Restarts can place cars several rows wide as drivers fight for position heading into Turn 1.

Those are exactly the moments when an in-car camera becomes so compelling. Fans watching on The CW may get a firsthand look at Parker working through traffic, communicating with his team and battling for every position from inside the No. 99.

Free Card Gorilla Trading Card Binders for Kids

Card Gorilla will also be attending the race in person, and our Indianapolis weekend is about much more than television exposure.

We will arrive at the Speedway with a limited quantity of Card Gorilla Trading Card Binders to hand out free to children attending the race in the infield.

Many lifelong collectors can remember the first pack they opened, the first card they traded or the first binder they filled. Those early experiences can create a connection to the hobby that lasts for decades.

Our goal is to help create some of those same memories for the next generation.

A child may receive a binder at Indianapolis, take it home and begin filling it with cards of Parker Retzlaff and their other favorite drivers. Years from now, that binder may still remind them of a summer afternoon spent watching NASCAR at one of the world’s most famous racetracks.

Attending the Pennzoil 250?

Watch for members of the Card Gorilla team in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway infield. Come say hello, talk racing and trading cards, and ask about a free Card Gorilla Trading Card Binder for your child. Quantities are limited and will be available only while supplies last.

Growing NASCAR’s Trading Card Community

NASCAR and trading cards have always shared something important: both are built around stories.

Every trading card can represent a driver, a race, a rookie season, a memorable finish or a moment in motorsports history. Collecting allows fans to preserve those stories and share them with friends, family members and future generations.

Card Gorilla wants to make those experiences more accessible and more exciting. That means offering a strong selection of NASCAR collectibles, helping customers grade and protect their cards, creating exclusive products and supporting drivers and teams on the racetrack.

It also means meeting fans where their passion begins—at the track.

Handing out binders to children at Indianapolis is a small gesture, but it reflects one of our biggest goals: inspiring new collectors and helping the NASCAR trading card hobby continue to grow.
