Hurley x NASCAR Collaborate to Launch Line of Beach and Surf Apparel
NASCAR and Hurley have announced a collaboration on a new collection of men’s and women’s beach and surf apparel. Two racing-themed product lines will drop during NASCAR’s 75th anniversary season in 2023, with the first available now on Hurley.com, and another dropping prior to the NASCAR Darlington Throwback Weekend in April.
“Hurley is one of the most influential brands in the world when it comes to action-sports and beach apparel,” said Megan Malayter, NASCAR managing director of licensing and consumer products. “As two companies who were born on the beach, we’re thrilled to be collaborating with Hurley to bring this exclusive Hurley x NASCAR collection to fans in 2023.”
Hurley was founded in Huntington Beach, Calif., in 1999 on the principle of empowering and fueling the voice of the next generation. Through the lens of inclusion, Hurley has partnered with the world’s best surfers, skateboarders, snowboarders, musicians, and artists, and is an iconic global youth culture brand with roots sunk deep in beach lifestyle.
“We’re excited to bring the Hurley energy that has solidified its stake in surf, snow, and skate to a new audience through the Hurley x NASCAR collection. Racing and surfing take dedication, commitment, and drive and have many of the same key attributes. We have fused the two as one in the latest Hurley x NASCAR collection while taking our brand trackside,” said Ralph Gindi, COO and co-founder of Bluestar Alliance, parent company of Hurley.
Hurley has developed cutting-edge, fashionable beachwear for both collections including items such as board shorts, swimwear, athleisure, tees, hats, and woven tops. (Retails run $75 for shorts, $35 for T-shirts, up to $200 for the jacket.) The first line of product, which dropped today, will feature designs that reflect an authentic 1990s feel. The second line will appropriately carry a look that represents vintage NASCAR, drawing on the rich history of the sport’s quintessential branding.
One of Hurley’s feature athletes is NASCAR’s own Noah Gragson, who will pilot the No. 42 Chevrolet for Legacy Motor Club in 2023. Hurley, as well as several of its athletes, will be on-site at Daytona International Speedway for the Daytona 500, giving fans the opportunity to purchase items from the collection in person.
