Inspired by the IndyCar Push to Pass technology, which gives drivers a limited-use power boost to overtake competitors, RLL Racing takes the concept into the fan experience. With this innovative rewards and loyalty program, fans can engage with interactive challenges, trivia, and AI-powered content through the RLL Racing App to earn real-world rewards—including race tickets, VIP hospitality access, and even pit lane experiences.
Transforming the Fan Experience with Data and AI
Spark Compass’s contextually intelligent platform enables RLL to engage with fans in real-time, delivering personalized content, live interactions, and immersive race-day experiences. The platform utilizes Spark Compass Proof of Presence, Proof of Performance, and Proof of Engagement metrics, providing actionable insights that measure fan interaction, attendance growth, and sponsor value generation.
Powered by the Spark Compass AI platform ecosystem, the RLL Fan Engagement Platform will leverage advanced AI analytics to enhance data collection, predictive decision-making, and real-time race strategy insights. This technology also extends to wearables, smart speakers, digital displays, and XR/VR applications, ensuring that fans can interact with their favorite drivers and teams in new and engaging ways.
Official Sponsorship & Branding Integration
As part of the agreement, Spark Compass branding will appear on RLL’s No. 30 car for the remainder of the 2025 season, including team uniforms, trackside equipment, and hospitality areas. The platform will also power exclusive VIP fan experiences, allowing attendees to engage in augmented and interactive moments through the RLL SC Guest Experience Zone at select races.

A Model for the Future of Motorsport Engagement
