Indianapolis, Ind. (22 February 2023) – With over two decades of providing media relations management,\u00a0social media strategy and programming, and\u00a0video production services, Sunday Group Management\u00a0(SGM)\u00a0has expanded its range of service offerings to include client relations management and program activation.<\/p>\n

To support this growth, Sunday Group is pleased to welcome Christin Downey onboard as Client Services Manager.\u00a0Downey will focus on supporting the execution of commercial services for long time Sunday Group client Meyer Shank Racing (MSR).<\/p>\n

After winning 2016 Petit Le Mans as a privateer effort, MSR was selected by Acura to manage the NSX GT3 program in IMSA starting in 2017. MSR has had significant growth as well as success in both IMSA and INDYCAR competition in the years that followed. The team scored the IMSA GTD class championship in 2019 and 2020, and netted the 2022 IMSA DPi championship after winning both the Rolex 24 At Daytona as well as the season-ending Petit Le Mans event. The team has continued that momentum in 2023, taking a dramatic overall victory in the 2023 Rolex 24 At Daytona as IMSA launched the GTP\u00a0class\u00a0and a new\u00a0era\u00a0of hybrid technology.<\/p>\n

The team has also made rapid and significant strides with the INDYCAR program, growing from a one-off entry in the 2017 Indianapolis 500 into a\u00a0full-time program that captured the\u00a02021 Indianapolis 500 with Helio Castroneves. The team is prepared for its second season as a full-time\u00a0two-car program with drivers Castroneves and Simon Pagenaud in 2023. The demand for MSR\u2019s partner activity has grown in sync as more and more sponsors implement their marketing strategies with the team\u2019s IMSA and INDYCAR\u00a0series\u00a0programs.<\/p>\n

Downey will handle all partner execution both at and away from the track. Working hand in hand with MSR Account Manager, Maddie Komar, Downey will serve as the primary sponsor contact to oversee the execution of MSR\u2019s commercial programs, from appearance requests to onsite partner logistics.<\/p>\n

Downey has experience working with Mercedes-AMG, Maserati and Ferrari facilitating event experiences for a variety of clients. Downey first gained experience in the IMSA paddock working with Torque Media. Downey\u2019s eagerness to provide top of the line service\u00a0paired with\u00a0excellent communication\u00a0as well as her ability to provide valuable relationships will be invaluable in her new role with Sunday Group.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m super excited to join Sunday Group Management,\u201d said Downey. \u201cTo work in racing full-time has been a dream of mine for a few years. I fell in love with the sport after a work transition landed me in the automotive industry. Being able to combine what I love in an environment\u00a0that\u00a0I have a true passion for is an honor. Joining an organization like Sunday Group, where I can work beside an incredibly talented team of people; to say I am excited about what the future holds is an understatement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sunday Group has continued to grow, having added three people to the team ahead of the 2023 season as the firm’s word of mouth reputation and results have continued to foster growth and new opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe partnerships that Mike (Shank), Jim (Meyer), and Tim (Meyer) have developed have been absolutely critical to not only the team\u2019s growth, but also the level of performance that the team can deliver,\u201d said Sunday Group Management founder Matt Cleary. \u201cAs those programs grew, it was clear that we needed dedicated talent and assets to properly support them,\u00a0 so it was a natural progression for us to take this on for Mike and the team. Christin has done an outstanding job to be ready for the season and after a big kick off to the year with the Rolex 24 win, we are all eager to get things going on the Indycar side next week at St. Pete.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
