Since the 1-800LoanMart blog has been down for a few days, we wanted to do a quick recap of what has been going on with our sponsorships. Our title loans company has grown considerably this past quarter and we have more simultaneous sponsorships than ever before. Let’s get to it! First off, the Los Angeles Clippers have been doing quite well lately. Last week they won home-to-home games against the Sacramento Kings! They didn’t fair quite as well against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday, but the Los Angeles will have the chance for another win against the Oklahoma City Thunder. There aren’t too many games left this season and it looks like the Clippers could be in the playoffs!
Last weekend, the Front Row Motorsports team competed in Martinsville. 1-800LoanMart was not sponsoring any drivers in this race—the 1-800LoanMart car will return June 24th—but we would like to commend Josh Wise for finishing ahead of the other rookie contenders and David Gilliland for continuing to do well out on the track. The SPEARS SRL Southwest Tour also started this past weekend at the Stockton 99 Speedway. We’re sponsoring Brandon Loverock this year and we’ll be out to cheer him on April 21st at the Madera Speedway, which is the next stop for the SRL tour.
We would also like to mention the first round of the 2012 1-800LoanMart Street Stock Series will be this Saturday at the Perris Auto Speedway! This event looks to be a lot of fun and we hope to see you out there. The next Lucas Oil Modified Series Race is coming up soon on the 28th, so be sure and mark your calendars!
This year 1-800LoanMart has moved into the baseball world as well. 1-800LoanMart is sponsoring the Lancaster Jethawks, the Modesto Nuts, the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes and the Lake Elsinore Storm this season! We wish all the teams a great season. And don’t forget to listen to the Dodgers Radio Network, sponsored by 1-800LoanMart!
The Battle for Los Angeles is tonight! No, 1-800LoanMart isn’t referring to the mediocre alien invasion movie that came out a few years ago, but a battle that will be much more exciting: the Clippers are facing off against the Lakers tonight at the Staples Center for the last time this season. This is the matchup of the year, folks. 1-800LoanMart isn’t going to miss it and we hope you won’t either!
The Lakers are no joke, but the Los Angeles Clippers have won six in a row and nothing seems to be stopping their hot streak. On Monday, they beat the Mavericks 94-75 is one of their best performances this season. The Clippers have been known for their dunks and enthusiasm on the court, but they’ve also started to adopt a strong defense in their past few games. Even though the Mavericks had two days off to prepare for this game, they just couldn’t get the shots in.
With Mo Williams sidelined with an injured toe, Randy Foye has really been showing his true colors out on the court. Foye beat his franchise record with an astounding eight 3-pointers and totaled 28 points, which certainly helped to end the Clippers’ 10 straight defeats at the American Airlines Center. Blake Griffin didn’t shoot in the twenties this time, but he landed an impressive 15 points along with an insane 16 rebounds. The bench really came through in the last quarter with Nick Young and Eric Bledsoe pushing through a 11-2 surge that gave the Clippers a cushy victory.
Chris Paul, who was just named Western Conference Player of the Week, Blake Griffin and the rest of Lob City are going to have to give it their all tonight if they want to be the kings of LA. There’s not much separating these two teams in stats and it is going to be a turf war tonight between the young guns and the old guard tonight at the Staples Center. This is going to be an historic game tonight and 1-800LoanMart will be there, cheering on Lob Angeles!
1-800LoanMart was very excited to make the trek from Encino to the Stockton 99 Speedway this weekend, but the first race of this year’s SRL series was postponed due to the possibility of bad weather. The race was originally scheduled for March 31st; however, the Stockton 99 Speedway and the SPEARS SRS Southwest Tour Series both decided on March 28th that it just wasn’t worth taking a chance and postponed the start of this year’s series until April 7th.
Since there were teams traveling from all over the Southwest, it’s good that they were saved the expense of traveling out here without being able to compete. 1-800LoanMart got to help even more of our title loanscustomers since we weren’t making the day trip, and a few of us went to see the Clippers take on the Utah Jazz, so the day wasn’t a total loss. We’re planning on making the trip next week!
In case you’re wondering why we’re so excited about the 2012 SPEARS SRL Southwest Tour Season, it’s because 1-800LoanMar is sponsoring driver Brandon Loverock this year! 1-800LoanMart is proud to support a local Californian as he fights off the competition and tries to fulfill his racing dreams. 2011 was a big year for Loverock: he placed twice in the top ten for the NASCAR All-Star Showdown and performed very well at the Orange Show Speedway, taking 1st with 482 points in the late model division. We’re looking forward to cheering him on at the ten SRL races this year!
Most of us at 1-800LoanMart have long been racing fans and it’s a privilege to be able to give back to the racing community. Brandon Loverock’s done some great things in the past and we’re hoping we can help him to do even better this season. The first race is this Saturday at the Stockton 99 Speedway, so come on out and join 1-800LoanMart!
The fans at 1-800LoanMart have really been watching the Clippers shift their momentum lately. The Clippers are on a 5 game winning streak and gaining speed! A few lucky title loan customers had tickets to go to the game on Saturday; which closed out a 5 game home stand. The Los Angeles Clippers played Memphis, New Orleans, Phoenix, Portland, and Utah during their home stand.
The month of March was grueling month that compiled 20 games in 31 days for the Clippers. Mo Williams is still out due to an injury. The X-ray and MRI results were both negative for his injured toe, but Williams will be watching the next few games from the sidelines. With the absence of Williams other players have had an opportunity to really step up. This five game home stand really proved to be a big momentum shift for the Clippers. This was the first time since November 2006 that the Clippers have won five straight games.
1-800LoanMart was out in full force Friday night at the Staples Center to watch the Clippers face off against Portland. The game was a tough matchup with good defense and intense energy. The Clippers were able to seal the deal with a win on Friday night; final score 98 – 97. On Saturday night Los Angeles Clippers closed out their home stand against the Utah Jazz. The Clippers played their brand of basketball throughout the game and did not leave the Jazz with a chance to sneak back in. The official score of the game was Clippers 105, Jazz 96.
Things are already heating up in the month of April as teams start to prepare for the playoffs. The Clippers have really made some great fundamental changes which have helped them win five in a row. 1-800LoanMart enjoys watching the Clippers take advantage of their opportunities and make the most out of them!
1-800LoanMart was there to root for our official partners the LA Clippers at the Staples Center on Wednesday. The Clippers lost to the Phoenix Suns earlier this month, but after two wins against Memphis and New Orleans, 1-800LoanMart was pumped to see how everything was going to turn out this time around. Blake Griffin and Chris Paul managed to step it up yet again and walk away with their third consecutive win!
It’s hard to imagine that just last week, the Clippers had lost three in a row and there were even calls for coach Vinny Del Negro to step down (Clippers owner Donald Sterling gave the coach his vote of confidence this week) and now the Clippers are playing as good as they were back in February. Blake Griffin largely helped the Clippers with their 103-86 win over the Suns with 27 points, 14 rebounds and five assists while Chris Paul chimed in with 15 points and 15 assists.
The Clippers are known for their ferocious energy out on the court, but lately they’ve been concentrating on a few aspects of the game that don’t involve massive dunking. Griffin’s been doing much better with his free throws lately and DeAndre Jordan stepped it up at the foul line landing seven of eight free throws, which was his best shooting from the free throw line so far in his four-year career. Clippers made the Suns look like they were a middle school basketball team!
Up next, the Clippers will continue trying to win it at home against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers are closely matched to the Clippers, though Lob City currently has the better record. 1-800LoanMart is willing to bet coach Vinny Del Negro is going to rely on the reserves quite a bit tonight and try to save the starters energy for the match against Utah on Saturday, which will definitely be a tougher one to win for Lob City. 1-800LoanMart will be at the game tonight to cheer on the Clippers and we’ll be back on Monday to report on both games!
1-800LoanMart is known for our auto racing sponsorships and we have recently added some additional auto racing sponsorships. If you have been following this blog you know that 1-800LoanMart is already sponsoring the Front Row Motorsports team in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. You may have even seen David Gilliland and Josh Wise drive the 1-800LoanMart NASCAR car. We are not open for title loans on Sundays so it is great for us NASCAR fans to be able to watch David and Josh race for Front Row Motorsports.
More recently 1-800LoanMart has become an official sponsor of Brandon Loverock of the SRL Series. Brandon is a former champion at the Orange Show Speedway, and he looks to kick off this year and this new partnership with 1-800LoanMart with a bang on Saturday April 7, 2012 at the Stockton 99 Speedway.
1-800LoanMart also will be sponsoring races during the 2012 Lucas Oil Modifieds series with some intense races all year long! Add that to our sponsorship of the Perris Auto Speedway and you can see that 1-800LoanMart sure has our hands full with auto racing sponsorships! That’s because we offer fast service for title loans in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Missouri and Illinois and we believe that our title loans should be as fast to get as a fast race!
Great news, fans of 1-800LoanMart and the Los Angeles Clippers: the Clippers have won their second consecutive game at home against the New Orleans Hornets! 1-800LoanMart was at the game on Monday hoping the Clippers would get revenge on the Hornets and they delivered in every way possible! The Saturday win against the Grizzlies was not a fluke—the Clippers are going back to the top!
The Hornets were down four players and proved why they have the worst record in the NBA this season. None of their starters were able to get points in the double digits and they reached a team high for turnovers with 29! No other Clippers opponent this season has had as many turnovers this season as the Hornets. The Clippers caused a lot of damage early on with an 18-2 run brought on mainly by DeAndre Jordan who was crucial both offensively and defensively. He was so all over the place it’s like he had the powers of the magical genie Kazaam (played by Shaquille O’Neal in the 1996 Touchstone Pictures “classic”) at his disposal.
Chris Paul was the true hero of this game, though, preventing a late third quarter Hornets run. Paul ended the game with a game-high 25 points along with 10 assists earning him his fifteenth double-double this season. Blake Griffin sparked a minor controversy by getting his ninth technical foul of the season after getting called on a flagrant-1 on Trevor Ariza, Griffin was attempting to prevent a layup attempt, but he played great and ended up with 20 points. Nick Young had his best game yet with the Clippers scoring 16 points.
1-800LoanMart’s official partners are back at the Staples Center playing the Phoenix Suns today. The last game against the Suns ended with a Clippers loss, but the Clippers still have a slightly better record than the Suns and are coming off two wins. The Clippers also had a chance to practice yesterday for the first time in month, which means they probably have some new tricks up their sleeve. 1-800LoanMart knows it’s going to be a great game and we hope to see you there!
1-800LoanMart’s partnership with Front Row Motorsports continued last Sunday at the Auto Club Speedway for the Auto Club 400. Rookie-of-the-year contender Josh Wise competed and finished in 37th place, but this race was all about David Gilliland. Gilliland, a previous winner at the Perris Auto Speedway, is from Riverside so this race was something of a homecoming for the Number 38 driver for Front Row Motorsports. 1-800LoanMart was happy to support him as a primary sponsor in this race.
Many of our title loans employees drove out on Sunday from Encino to Fontana despite the threat of rain. While the rain eventually stopped the race well short of its 250 laps, all of us at 1-800LoanMart were thrilled to see the 1-800LoanMart logo all over Gilliland’s car. They should definitely let us start driving that bad boy to the office!
Hometown hero David Gilliland is the best driver Front Row Motorsports has, though this race’s purse belonged to Tony Stewart who won it after the race was called at Lap 129 due to rain. Gilliland drove Front Row’s No. 34 car to a third place finish at the 2011 Daytona 500, which was the best showing for the team. Stewart pulled a slick fake on Denny Hamlin on Lap 124 where it seemed like he was headed to the pit, but then pulled behind the pace car at the last second. This is Stewart’s second victory this season.
The Sprint Cup Series will next head to the Martinsville Speedway in Virginia for the Goody’s Fast Relief 500 on April 1. 1-800LoanMart will not be sponsoring Josh Wise or David Gilliland in this race, but we’re excited to see how they do. 1-800LoanMart will be cheering on Front Row Motorsports all season!
1-800LoanMart’s official partners the LA Clippers have ended their losing streak! In their return home to the Staples Center this Saturday after losing three out on the road, the Clippers did something they haven’t done since late February: have fun. Most of March has been filled with back-to-backs and the Clippers started to finally feel the strain of playing so many games. They aren’t in the clear yet, but this was their best win in a long time and could be the major turning point for the Clippers this season.
The Grizzlies had pretty much the same record as the Clippers going into the game, but the Clippers managed to bring the heat in the first quarter, closing with 12-0 run at the very end to finish with 33 points to the Grizzlies’ measly 17—the Grizzlies never managed to recover. Mo Williams had to sit this game out because of his sprained toe, but this gave Randy Foye the opportunity to start and prove his worth to Lob City. Foye had 18 points, which included three 3-pointers in the third quarter; the guard statistically does better when he’s a starter rather than a reserve.
Another big star of the night was Blake Griffin who finally looked like he was have a great time again. He had his 30th double-double of the season and even while dealing with Grizzlies’ forward Zach Randolph, still managed 20 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Elsewhere, Nick Young had his best performance to date with 16 points and Chris Paul finished with 19 points and 13 assists.
1-800LoanMart will be back at the Staples Center tonight to cheer on our favorite team. The Clippers have a great opportunity to get revenge on the Hornets tonight. They’re still down forward Jason Smith after he brutally fouled Griffin, so this should be an easy win against one of the worst teams in the league. 1-800LoanMart will see down at the Staples Center tonight at 7:30!
1-800LoanMart’s official partners are heading back to Los Angeles! After playing three games out on the road, the Clippers will be back at the Staples Center for five straight games that will take them through the end of March. They only have one back-to-back, at the very end, which means they’ll have an easier time making a few wins during this stretch. Up first are the Grizzlies, then the Clippers will host the Hornets, Suns, Trail Blazers and the Jazz.
It had to happen at some point: the Clippers lost three games in a row for the first time this season. Playing three back-to-backs was just brutal especially coming right after a back-to-back at home. Tuesday and Wednesday saw the Clippers lose to the Pacers and the Thunder and Thursday saw the Clippers lose to the New Orleans Hornets 91-97. Let’s take a closer look into what went on in yesterday’s game.
This was sure to be an emotional game for Chris Paul who returned to the New Orleans Arena for the first time since leaving the Hornets last December. Despite some foul issues, Paul gave it his all and racked up 16 points and nine assists by the end of the night. Griffin, despite more free throw trouble, had a sizeable 21 points and DeAndre Jordan was also doing quite well with 14 points. 1-800LoanMart’s official partners started with a strong 35 in the first quarter, but gave it away in the fourth.
While in town, Paul also was able to host members of his CP3 Afterschool Zone program at the game. Founded in 2005, Paul’s program helps K-3rd grade students by offering them further opportunities to explore and cultivate their interests—what a great guy! Our title loans company will be at the game Saturday, so be sure and look out for 1-800LoanMart!
